What causes dizziness or vertigo?

Dizziness can come from inner ear issues, neurological conditions, or balance disorders. At East Coast Audiology and Physical Therapy, we specialize in identifying the root cause through advanced testing and evaluation.

Videonystagmography (VNG) is a diagnostic test that evaluates your inner ear and balance system. Our audiologists use this test to pinpoint the cause of dizziness and guide treatment recommendations.

Can physical therapy help with vertigo?

Yes. Our physical therapists provide vestibular rehabilitation therapy, which is highly effective in reducing dizziness, improving balance, and helping patients return to normal activities.

What is BPPV and how is it treated?

BPPV is caused by displaced crystals in the inner ear. At East Coast Audiology and Physical Therapy, we perform specific repositioning maneuvers to quickly and effectively relieve symptoms.

Why should I come to ECAPT for dizziness or balance issues?

We offer a unique combination of audiology and physical therapy services, allowing us to fully evaluate and treat balance disorders in one location. This coordinated approach leads to faster answers and better outcomes.
