If dizziness and vertigo cause you to feel off balance, unsteady, or even lightheaded, you are not alone. Countless individuals struggle with these symptoms daily; while they can be uncomfortable at best and even disabling in some cases, it's important to remember that there is relief available! ENT & Allergy Associates has experience treating dizziness and vertigo and can help you get these frustrating and stressful episodes under control.
Understanding Dizziness & Vertigo
Many patients use the term "dizziness" to describe disruptive sensations in their balance. However, this term encompasses a range of symptoms, including fatigue, visual disturbances, confusion, vertigo, and more. It can be challenging for patients to accurately convey their experiences. As a result, specialists in dizziness aim to identify the specific type of "dizziness" that patients are experiencing. Our team is dedicated to gaining a comprehensive understanding of your symptoms to provide the best possible care.
Two Common Causes of Vertigo
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
- At times, particles can accumulate or settle inside the semicircular canals of the inner ear. These particles typically end up at the canal's lowest point. When undergoing specific positional changes like rolling to one side while asleep, the canal's orientation can alter, causing particles to move and settle at a new "bottom." This occurrence leads to a short-lived sensation of vertigo or "room spinning" that lasts under a minute. As compassionate professionals, we understand how disruptive vertigo can be and are here to help.
Vestibular Neuronitis
- If you're experiencing vertigo that lasts for multiple days, it could be due to a viral infection in your balance nerve. This may then lead to a longer period of imbalance. Rest assured, we're here to provide professional and compassionate care.
Vertigo can also have less common causes related to both the ears and the nervous system. The team at ENT & Allergy Associates can explore these other potential issues to get to the bottom of what is causing your vertigo.

"Dr. Horowitz is a fantastic doctor and I’d highly recommend him. I had been to 2 other doctors and an urgent care for trouble I was having and they all brushed my problem off. Dr. Horowitz assured me that I was indeed experiencing a real problem and helped me deal with it right away. I started feeling better and in less pain within a day thanks to the treatment plan he created for me. Everyone at the office is kind, professional, and timely. I highly recommend this facility and Dr. Horowitz!!"
