The Balance Clinic at CSHC
Dizziness is the second most common complaint heard in doctors' offices. Statistics reported by The National Institute of Health indicate that dizziness will occur in 90 million of the nation's population at some time in their lives. Dizziness is the #1 complaint for individuals over age 70.
Falls increase the risk of trauma injuries, fractures and potentially early death. Many adults are unaware that falls are a serious health problem that is largely preventable.
The Balance Clinic at CSHC provides comprehensive balance testing to determine whether or not a person is at risk for falls.
Some medical conditions that are associated with a higher risk for falls include:
- Diabetes
- Vertigo
- Peripheral neuropathy
- Recent hip or knee replacement
- Recent hip fracture
- Dizziness
- Vertigo
- Stroke
- Ringing in the ears
The CSHC Balance Clinic provides comprehensive balance testing and, for those at risk of falls, therapy to reduce their fall risk.
