How can Prime help to reclaim your
balance:
There are various treatments for balance pathology and can be
employed only after a proper work up of the patient has been
done. A few modalities that can be employed are given below:
We as a specialist centre for balance related problems use
special balance tests to find out how well you are using the
information from your eyes and joints to keep your balance.
Further to that we offer medical measures and rehabilitative
exercises to restore your balance. Balance problems respond to
simple treatments and we may prescribe you short course of an
anti-sickness drug. This should damp your dizziness and
nausea.
The balance exercises that we offer might make you feel dizzy
while you are doing them, but over time they will help retrain
your balance system. This may take a long commitment towards
the exercise regime.
For patients with severe dizziness that does not improve with
drugs or other forms of treatment, we may offer an operation.
This is however, rarely necessary and will not be a suitable
option for everyone.
Balance Tests
Caloric stimulation: A test to stimulate the balance organs.
Helps us find out the status of the balance organs. This test
also helps in monitoring progress of the patient.
Electronystagmography: The recording of the corneal
retinal potential during thermal stimulartion of the balance
organs or mechanical rotation gives us an overview of balance
status of the individual.
Videonystagmography: Similar to ENG, this test monitors
the movement of the eyes by video recording parameters.
Computerised Dynamic Posturography: The patient is made
to experience various situations to assess his reliance on
various balance maintaining systems. This also helps in
rehabilitation of the patient.
