How we evaluate it
Testing is chosen from your history and examination. These are the tests most often used for this condition.
Computerized Dynamic Posturography (CDP)Balance platform testing that measures how vision, vestibular input, and body sensation contribute to postural control.Epley Omniax ChairComputer-assisted multi-axis positioning used for difficult or atypical positional vertigo cases.TRV ChairA mechanical repositioning chair used to evaluate and treat complex positional vertigo.
Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (VEMP)Measures reflex responses from the otolith organs (saccule and utricle) to sound or vibration.
DizzyDoctor Vertigo Recording GogglesHigh-resolution infrared video goggles used to document eye movements during dizziness and positional vertigo evaluation.Videonystagmography (VNG)A comprehensive eye-movement test battery used to evaluate vestibular and oculomotor function.Learn more

Care approach
Care plans are individualized. The practice combines detailed history, bedside examination, and targeted testing to decide whether treatment should focus on vestibular rehabilitation, migraine or medication management, canalith repositioning, cardiovascular coordination, neurologic treatment, or additional specialty referral.
