New Jersey area patients who deal with chronic or regular balance and dizziness may find that it negatively impacts their quality of life every day. More severe cases can make it difficult and unsafe to even take a walk alone or drive a vehicle. The team at Coastal Ear, Nose, and Throat understand how these conditions can affect normal, daily activities and provides solutions and treatments to improve one’s experiences each and every day!

What causes dizziness and balance issues?

There are many instances where patients may experience dizziness or conditions such as vertigo. By visiting a physician and undergoing a thorough evaluation, many doctors are able to find the source of the problem and provide an effective treatment. For some patients with more chronic and long-term dizziness issues, monitoring its severity and finding ways to help patients manage it can also impact quality of life in a positive way.

What are some treatment options available at Coastal Ear, Nose, and Throat?

The treatments provided to a patient who is experiencing episodes of imbalance or dizziness starts with a definitive diagnosis. Once the doctor finds the source of the problem, treatment options are discussed. Our team may provide one type of treatment at a time, or combine therapies to achieve faster results. Below are just a few of the more common treatments used for dizziness and balance issues:

• Vestibular rehabilitation
• Head position maneuvers
• Medication (prescription or over-the-counter)
• Surgical procedures

In most instances, surgical procedures will be considered as a last resort, as more conservative approaches are desirable. Surgery is often the last treatment to be suggested by our team, and is only used for patients who have chronic or severe dizziness and balance issues that are not resolved in an alternative manner.
