Are you one of thousands of people who suffer from a debilitating feeling of dizziness, vertigo, loss of balance, or fear of falling that is affecting your quality of life? If so, you may have a vestibular disorder or a compromised balance system. Balance problems can strike anyone, although they’re especially common among the elderly. In most cases, they are related to inner ear issues, head injuries, infections, muscle or joint weakness, certain medications, or simply the process of aging.
