Fortis Hospital Mohali Launches State-of-the-art Vertigo and Balance Disorders Clinic: Fortis Hospital Mohali has launched a state-of-the-art balance disorders and vertigo clinic at the facility for advanced diagnosis and treatment of vestibular disorders, which affect the balance and spatial orientation systems of the body.
For this, the hospital has partnered with world’s largest chain of Vertigo and Dizziness clinics Neuroequilibrium.
This collaboration brings world-class expertise and advanced technology to enhance patient care for balance disorders. The innovative clinic combines the expertise of neurologists and ENT specialists, offering advanced care for patients suffering from vertigo, imbalance (functional balance disorder), and the fear of falling.
The clinic will be managed primarily by Dr Ashok Gupta, Director ENT and Dr. JP Singhvi, Director Neurology.
Dr Ashok Gupta, Director, ENT and Head & Neck Surgery, Fortis Hospital Mohali, said, “This cutting-edge facility is dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of vestibular disorders, which affect the balance and spatial orientation systems of the body. With state-of-the-art equipment, we aim to provide accurate assessments and effective treatments, offering patients much-needed relief from conditions that often go undiagnosed or are mismanaged.”
Dr Sudesh Prabhakar, Director Neurology, Fortis Hospital, Mohali, said, “Vestibular disorders present with a range of symptoms, including vertigo, dizziness, unsteadiness, balance disorders, headaches with a spinning sensation, blurring of vision with head movements, and frequent falls. These symptoms can arise from a variety of conditions affecting the inner ear or the brain, and can significantly impair daily activities, safety, and quality of life. Studies suggest that dizziness and vertigo affect up to 35% of the adult population at some point in their lives, making vestibular disorders a significant healthcare concern”.
Dr JP Singhvi, Director, Neurology, Fortis Hospital Mohali, said, “The advanced technology available at our vestibular lab allows for comprehensive assessment, enabling precise differential diagnosis of various vestibular conditions. Following diagnosis, patients who require further treatment will benefit from disease-specific vestibular rehabilitation programs. These programs are tailored to each patient’s needs, helping them regain balance, reduce dizziness, and improve their overall quality of life. This cutting-edge facility reaffirms Fortis Hospital Mohali’s commitment to excellence in patient care and medical innovation.”
