Understanding Dizziness & Vertigo
Dizziness and vertigo are common symptoms that can significantly impact daily life. While dizziness is a general term for feeling unsteady, vertigo specifically refers to the sensation that you or your surroundings are spinning. Our neurology team specializes in identifying the underlying cause and providing effective treatment.
