Comprehensive management ranges from diagnostic testing and physical
therapy program to microsurgery, depending on the severity of the condition. For
many patients with balance disorders, physical therapy program may improve
mobility and quality of life. Patients may undergo an assessment of posture,
balance and eye movements and receive a written home exercise program
specifically designed to address their symptoms.

In many cases, a combination of medications, activity programs, surgery, and coordination between our specialists and the patient's primary care physician may provide the quickest possible recovery.

For some patients, dizziness may be cured with a simple office positioning procedure. If the patient's hearing and or balance disorder requires surgery, Otologists from the center perform the latest microsurgical techniques. These include:

Tympanoplasty (eardrum replacement and repair of the hearing
bones)

Cochlear implantation, which is the implantation of an
electronic device under the skin to restore hearing to a patient suffering from
severe and profound hearing loss.

Tumor surgery of the ear and skull base.

Microlaser stapedectomy, in which a laser is used to restore
normal vibration to the hearing bones.

Surgical treatment for dizziness, including insertion of a
shunt in the ear to drain fluids and surgery on the balance nerve itself.
