Conditions We Treat
When walking, turning, or standing feels unsteady, the cause is often a breakdown in how the brain blends signals from the inner ear, vision, and body.
Balance relies on the inner ear, vision, and sensation all working together. The brain blends these inputs to keep you upright and oriented, usually without you noticing it at all.
When one of those inputs is off, walking, turning, or standing can feel unsteady. That unsteadiness can make everyday movement feel like work, and it can raise the risk of stumbles and falls.
Our advanced neuro-functional exam looks at how your balance systems are working together. Using precise eye-tracking and VNG testing, detailed vestibular analysis, and optokinetic mapping, we measure how the inner ear, eyes, and brain coordinate to keep you steady, then turn that into objective data.
From there we build a personalized vestibular and brain-based rehabilitation plan that retrains the specific pathways involved in your balance. We re-test along the way so progress is something you can see and measure, not only something you feel.
Balance relies on the inner ear, vision, and sensation all working together, with the brain blending those inputs to keep you upright. When one of those inputs is off, walking, turning, or standing can feel unsteady. The cause is usually a breakdown in that blending rather than a problem with any single system.
We use precise eye-tracking and VNG testing, detailed vestibular analysis, and optokinetic mapping to measure how your inner ear, eyes, and brain coordinate to keep you steady. That gives us objective data on which input is off rather than a general assessment of how steady you feel.
Those situations remove the visual input your brain relies on to compensate. When vision is doing more work than it should to cover for the inner ear or sensation, taking it away exposes the underlying imbalance. It is one of the clearest signs that the systems are not sharing the load properly.
Our approach is vestibular and brain-based rehabilitation. We build a personalized plan that retrains the specific pathways involved in your balance, and we re-test along the way so progress is something you can see and measure.
If unsteadiness is getting in the way of daily life or making you worry about falls, an evaluation can help identify what needs targeted support.
