Vertigo is a false sensation of spinning or imbalance that is frequently associated with disturbances in the inner ear or brain balance pathways.
Balance & Vestibular Disorders
Conditions affecting the vestibular system can cause dizziness, imbalance, and difficulty maintaining stability while moving.
Sleeping Disorders
Certain sleep disturbances are neurological in nature and can have an impact on brain health, cognitive function, and overall well-being.
