Vestibular Balance Disorders
What is the Vestibular System?
The vestibular system consists of certain parts of the inner ear and brain, which process all sensory information related to eye movements and balance control. If these vital processing areas are damaged by injury or disease, balance disorders and/or dizziness may result.
Symptoms
Some symptoms of vestibular balance disorders are mild and only last a few seconds or minutes. Others are severe, and can potentially result in complete disability. Symptoms tend to vary from person to person, and they include but are not limited to:
Lack of balance/unsteadiness
Dizziness— feelings of floating, rocking, or lightheadedness
Vertigo— a sensation of whirling or spinning of either surroundings or self
Nausea
Blurred vision
Anxiety
Changes in hearing
Problems with coordination
Issues with memory and concentration
Additionally, some may experience neck, back, and headaches; increased motion sickness; and extra sensitivity to bright lights and noise.
