For the Health of Your Patients
Balance disorders defy conventional treatment approaches focused on finding a specific medical problem in an isolated region of the body and treating it as a specific disease process.
Because balance control is a complex multi-system process, balance dysfunction can be caused by problems in any one or combination of the contributing systems.
Because of the brain's ability to adapt to responses to a balance or dizziness problem, one patient's impairments and functional limitations can vary considerably from the next. Even when a specific problem is identified, patients with similar issues may not respond the same way to a given treatment.
In fact, most balance patients travel a long and frustrating road before finding help. Consider the following medical itinerary.
The typical patient who enters a Comprehensive Balance Center has already encountered:
- 4+ Physicians in search of help for a chronic balance problem
- 1 Imaging series
- 1 Emergency Room visit, possibly with hospital admission
- 1 Referral for psychiatric evaluation
- 50+ Months in search of a solution
The better route is a comprehensive path.
