Understanding Dizziness
Dizziness is a term used to describe various sensations including feeling faint, woozy, weak, or unsteady. It can be caused by problems in the inner ear, brain, or other systems involved in balance. Common causes include benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), vestibular neuritis, and Meniere’s disease. In our partner clinics in Beijing and Shanghai, we use a multidisciplinary approach involving neurologists, otolaryngologists, and physical therapists to identify and treat the underlying cause.
Advanced Diagnostics in China
Accurate diagnosis is the first step toward effective treatment. Our hospitals offer:
- Videonystagmography: Assessing eye movements and balance.
- Audiometry: Testing hearing function.
- Balance Testing: Posturography and other assessments.
- MRI Scanning: Ruling out central nervous system causes.
Treatment Options
Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may involve physical therapy, medications, dietary changes, or an integrative approach combining Western medicine with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to restore balance and reduce dizziness symptoms.
- Canalith Repositioning: For BPPV treatment.
- Vestibular Rehabilitation: Balance therapy exercises.
- Medications: Antihistamines and anti-nausea drugs.
- Integrative TCM: Acupuncture and herbs for dizziness.
