Frequently asked questions
Common questions about vestibular care
Can dizziness and vertigo be assessed at your clinic?
Yes. Vestibular assessment can be provided in clinic, with the exact pathway guided by symptom pattern, mobility, and clinical fit.
What if I am not sure whether my symptoms are vestibular?
That is common. The point of the assessment is to work out whether vestibular issues are involved or whether another pathway is more appropriate.
Can vestibular care link with balance rehabilitation?
Yes. Some people stay in a vestibular-specific pathway, while others move into broader falls and balance rehabilitation after assessment.
