The Balance and Dizziness Center

Many conditions can lead to a feeling of spinning, swaying, and unsteadiness. Learning the cause of the problem is key to putting you on a path to effective treatment. Since its inception in 1993, our center has one of the widest ranges of tests available for vertigo across Pennsylvania and New Jersey to ensure that you receive a precise diagnosis.

Our providers have decades of experience that is not easily found elsewhere. This expertise enables us to diagnose and treat even the most complex cases. A range of specialists collaborate during your care, forming a team that may include audiologists, neurologists, neurotologists, physical therapists, and others. They create a treatment plan designed around you, helping you move from a sense of unsteadiness to being back on solid ground.

Our team of clinical experts is committed to giving you an accurate and comprehensive diagnosis of the cause of your balance and dizziness issues. Though diagnosing the cause of dizziness and balance problems can be difficult, since balancing is a very complicated part of the body's functions, our team is among the most experienced in the region in diagnosing such conditions. The complexity of the balance and vestibular systems warrants a team approach, requiring input from a variety of specialists who regularly meet to collaborate on our patient's care.

Advanced testing options

We offer some of the most advanced testing options available in the region. Balance testing begins with a thorough understanding of a patient's symptoms and history. Patients complete a comprehensive questionnaire, and the vestibular specialist conducts a detailed interview with each patient. Depending on your history and symptoms, we will determine which battery of tests is best for you to diagnose your abnormality and establish to what degree you may or may have not compensated so that a treatment plan can be created.

Personalized treatment plans

After completing comprehensive balance testing, our team of balance specialists, which includes physical therapists and vestibular rehabilitation therapists, will develop a customized treatment plan for you. We offer the most comprehensive array of treatments and services for patients with dizziness and balance disorders in the region. Together with specialists in the area of Ear, Nose and Throat, neurology, neuroradiology, audiology, and physical therapy, we address each patient's medical and rehabilitative needs. Treatments depend on your condition and include:

• Recommended lifestyle changes, such as dietary changes, weight loss, and exercise
• Medication to control disorders of the inner ear and brain
• Surgery and in-office procedures
• Physical therapy and vestibular rehabilitation

Our ultimate goal is to reduce or eliminate the symptoms of dizziness and imbalance and prevent falls so you can get back to your normal daily activities.
