finding the right kind of help
A clean medication list is one of the most useful things someone can bring to a doctor visit when dizziness is in the picture.
clinicians who may help
depending on the pattern, that may include an ENT, audiologist, neurologist, neuro-ophthalmologist, physical therapist, or occupational therapist with vestibular or neuro experience.
extra training matters
vestibular care is its own niche, so it helps to look for someone who treats dizziness regularly rather than assuming every general clinic will know what to do.
if you are trying to find a vestibular physical therapist or another vestibular provider, VEDA's healthcare directory is a good place to start.
