How is vertigo diagnosed?
Dr. Basheeth conducts a detailed history, balance tests, and may use audiograms, vestibular function tests, or MRI/CT scans to identify the cause accurately.
Are treatments painful?
Most treatments, like the Epley maneuver or exercises, are non-invasive and painless, with medications or injections causing minimal discomfort.
Can vertigo recur after treatment?
Some conditions, like BPPV, may recur, but proper maneuvers and lifestyle changes significantly reduce the likelihood of episodes.
How can I prevent vertigo?
Avoiding sudden head movements, managing stress, and following tailored rehabilitation exercises can minimize vertigo triggers and recurrence.
