Months of AC, desks and driving can leave your back and neck stiff just as the outdoor season starts. Here is what our chiropractor in Dubai Hills does, when to see a chiropractor or a physio, and what happens at a first visit.
Dizziness can be frightening, especially when it comes on suddenly. Whether the room is spinning, you feel lightheaded, or you suddenly feel unsteady, the first priority is safety.
Have you ever felt perfectly fine at home, only to become nauseous, dizzy, sweaty or uncomfortable the moment you get into a car, boat or plane? You may be experiencing motion sickness.
Optokinetic stimulation is a treatment tool that uses moving visual patterns (like stripes or dots) to help desensitise the brain to motion and reduce symptoms of dizziness, disorientation, or visual overload. It’s particularly helpful when visual environments trigger or worsen your symptoms.
The Skull Vibration Test uses a gentle vibration behind the ear to stimulate the balance organs of your inner ear and detect if there’s a difference between the left and right sides. It is often used as a simple but powerful screening tool when dizziness or imbalance seems one-sided.
VNS is a diagnostic tool that uses infrared video goggles to directly observe and analyse eye movements in real time. Since the eyes and inner ear are functionally linked, monitoring these movements helps determine whether a patient’s dizziness or imbalance is related to peripheral vestibular dysfunction or central causes.
