Vestibular Disorders cause disturbances in the body’s mechanisms in the ears, vision, brain stem and cranial nerves that help a person feel steady and balanced in their movements. Brain injuries can cause damage to the mechanisms involved in proper vestibular function resulting in vertigo, dizziness, and nausea. A person with a vestibular disorder can experience dizziness in a supine position with any movement of the head.

​

Diagnosis of vestibular disorders requires diagnostic testing such as electronystagmography and treatment prescribed by specially trained health care professionals such as Ear, Nose and Throat specialists or Neurotologists.
