Balance Evaluation
We understand that balance issues interfere with your daily life, making even the simplest of tasks difficult. Many hospitals and clinics have a waitlist of 3 to 4 months for a balance evaluation. We can schedule your balance evaluation within a few weeks, ensuring you receive the next steps for treatment from your doctor in an efficient manner.
According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), dizziness or loss of balance will affect 90 million Americans sometime during their lifetime. People experience all kinds of symptoms from light-headedness/dizziness to self/world spinning.
