Balance Disorders
Understanding Symptoms and Causes
At One Source Integrative Medicine, we understand the significant impact that balance disorders can have on your daily. Whether you're experiencing dizziness, vertigo, or unsteadiness, we're here to provide comprehensive care and support to help you regain your balance and improve your quality of life.
What are Balance Disorders?
Balance disorders encompass a range of conditions that can affect your sense of balance and spatial orientation. These disorders can manifest as feelings of dizziness, lightheadedness, vertigo (a spinning sensation), or unsteadiness, and they may be accompanied by symptoms such as blurred vision, nausea, or difficulty walking.
Understanding the Causes
Balance disorders can arise from various underlying factors, including:
Inner Ear Problems: Issues with the inner ear, such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), Meniere's disease, or vestibular neuritis, can disrupt your body's balance system and lead to symptoms of dizziness or vertigo.
Medications: Certain medications, such as those prescribed for high blood pressure, anxiety, or depression, can affect your balance and coordination, increasing your risk of falls.
Neurological Conditions: Conditions such as multiple sclerosis (MS), Parkinson's disease, or stroke can impair the functioning of the nervous system, resulting in balance disturbances.
Head Injuries: Traumatic brain injuries or concussions can damage the vestibular system, causing symptoms of dizziness, vertigo, or imbalance.
Age-Related Changes: As we age, changes in vision, proprioception (the body's sense of its position in space), and vestibular function can contribute to balance problems.
