The Hand Center

Balance in everyday life.

Over 90 million Americans suffer from balance problems, dizziness, and vertigo, which can cause profound disruptions in daily life. In addition to increased risk for falls, balance disorders can shorten attention span, disrupt normal sleep patterns, cause excessive fatigue, and limit your social interactions and activities.  Vestibular dysfunction in particular can also cause nausea, blurred vision with head movements, and the feeling that you or your surroundings are spinning.  Doctors Hospital's comprehensive Balance and Vestibular Center will help you find the source of your problem and successfully treat your balance disorder.
