Vertigo Treatment

Comprehensive Vertigo Treatment at Dr. Srikanth Neuro

Vertigo is a debilitating condition characterized by a spinning sensation or dizziness, often accompanied by nausea, balance issues, and difficulty focusing. At Dr. Srikanth Neuro in Hyderabad, we specialize in diagnosing and treating vertigo to help patients regain control of their lives and perform daily activities with ease.

Understanding Vertigo

Vertigo is not just a feeling of lightheadedness but a specific sensation of spinning or the environment moving around you. It can stem from issues in the inner ear, vestibular nerve, or neurological conditions, significantly impacting quality of life if left untreated.

Symptoms of Vertigo

• Spinning sensation (feeling like you or your surroundings are moving).
• Dizziness or lightheadedness.
• Nausea or vomiting.
• Balance problems or difficulty walking.
• Headaches.
• Sweating.
• Ringing in the ears (tinnitus).
• Abnormal eye movements (nystagmus).

Causes of Vertigo

Vertigo can be triggered by various underlying conditions, including:

• Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV): Caused by calcium particles clumping in the inner ear, leading to brief episodes of dizziness.
• Meniere’s Disease: An inner ear disorder causing severe vertigo, tinnitus, and hearing loss.
• Vestibular Neuritis: Inflammation of the vestibular nerve, often due to infection, causing prolonged dizziness.
• Migraine: Severe headaches that may include vertigo as a symptom.

Diagnostic Services

At Dr. Srikanth Neuro, we use advanced diagnostic tools to pinpoint the cause of vertigo:

• Comprehensive Patient History and Physical Examination: Evaluating symptoms, medical history, and triggers to identify patterns.
• Hearing Tests (Audiometry): Assessing hearing loss or tinnitus associated with vertigo.
• Balance Tests (Posturography): Measuring balance and stability to evaluate vestibular function.
• Imaging Tests (MRI/CT Scans): Ruling out neurological or structural abnormalities.
• Vestibular Function Tests (ENG/VNG): Analyzing eye movements to assess inner ear function.

Treatment Options

Our specialists design personalized treatment plans based on the underlying cause of vertigo:

• Medications: Anti-nausea drugs, antihistamines, or medications to treat underlying conditions like Meniere’s disease or migraines.
• Physical Therapy: Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) to improve balance and reduce dizziness through targeted exercises.
• Canalith Repositioning Maneuvers: Techniques like the Epley maneuver for BPPV to reposition calcium particles in the inner ear.
• Lifestyle Modifications: Dietary changes, stress management, and balance-enhancing exercises to minimize triggers.
• Surgery: In rare cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to address structural issues in the inner ear or brain.
