Balance disorders can disrupt your daily life in numerous ways. However, you don’t need to let these symptoms get you down. Autumn Oak Speech, Voice & Hearing diagnoses and treats multiple balance disorders in Pearland, Texas, and surrounding areas.
Balance Disorders
There are two distinct types of balance disorders. These include:
Dizziness, Vertigo, and Motion Intolerance
Have you ever felt the world spin around you, leaving you disoriented and dizzy? Vertigo, accompanied by a sense of motion intolerance, can arise from sudden head movements, quick turns, walking, or even traveling in a vehicle. These episodes might manifest as fleeting moments lasting mere seconds or persist for hours, disrupting your routine and causing frustration.
Persistent Sense of Imbalance
Your vestibular system plays a crucial role in your body’s overall balance. Ongoing loss of stability and overwhelming feelings of unsteadiness are typically attributed to disruptions (such as balance disorders) in the vestibular system (or inner ear).
What Causes Balance Disorders?
Balance disorders can be caused by a variety of health problems including:
- Infections
- Head injuries
- Circulatory problems affecting the inner ear or brain
- Age
- Certain medications
