vestibular disorders
Vestibular disorders are conditions that affect the inner ear and brain, disrupting the body's balance system. These disorders can lead to symptoms such as dizziness, vertigo, and unsteadiness, making it difficult for individuals to maintain their balance or orientation in space.
Common causes of vestibular disorders include inner ear infections, Meniere's disease, and vestibular neuritis. Diagnosis often involves a thorough medical history, physical examination, and specialized tests to assess balance and inner ear function. Treatment options may include medications, physical therapy, or lifestyle changes to help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
