The room spinning, a sense of tilting, or dizziness that hits when you move your head? Vertigo usually comes from the inner ear, and many causes can be treated, sometimes in a single visit. Get same-day, ENT-focused care for vertigo, in person or by video.
Vertigo is the false sense that you or your surroundings are spinning or moving when nothing actually is. It’s a specific kind of dizziness, different from feeling lightheaded or faint. Vertigo most often comes from the inner ear, which houses your sense of balance. Common inner-ear causes include BPPV (loose crystals that trigger brief spinning with head movement), vestibular neuritis or labyrinthitis (inflammation, often after a virus), and Ménière’s disease (fluid changes in the inner ear). Less often, vertigo comes from the brain or nervous system, which is why a sudden, severe episode with other neurological symptoms needs urgent evaluation.
Same-day appointments available. Most insurance accepted.
Most vertigo starts in the inner ear, and the right treatment depends on which cause is at work. BPPV often responds to a few simple repositioning movements; inflammation-related vertigo settles with time and supportive care; Ménière’s disease needs a longer plan. An ENT-focused exam sorts out the cause.
During your visit, your ENT provider may ask about your symptoms and triggers, watch your eye movements, check your hearing and balance, and, when BPPV is the cause, guide you through repositioning movements that can relieve symptoms quickly.
Virtual ENT care can help with reviewing your symptoms and triggers, deciding how urgently you need to be seen, and planning next steps.
An in-person visit is often needed to examine your eye movements, check your balance, and guide you through repositioning movements, which are done hands-on in the clinic.
