Understanding Vertigo: Why the Room Spins

Vertigo is a false sense of spinning or movement. It is a symptom of an underlying problem — most often in the inner ear. Common causes include BPPV, Meniere's disease, vestibular migraine and vestibular neuritis.

Modern testing such as VNG, ENG and caloric tests can pinpoint the cause, allowing targeted, effective treatment. If you experience recurrent dizziness, a specialist evaluation is strongly recommended.
