Vertigo & Balance Disorders Treatment in Jalandhar
Sensation that the room is spinning, difficulty keeping your balance, or suffering from regular bouts of dizziness can be distressing and highly disruptive. Although these symptoms are frequently referred to simply as “vertigo”, they can stem from a range of conditions affecting the inner ear, brain, or wider nervous system.
At NHS Neurocare (A Unit of NHS Hospital), we are proud to offer one of the region’s first dedicated Vertigo Labs, providing specialised evaluation and evidence-based treatment for patients with vertigo, dizziness and balance disorders. Led by Dr Sandeep Goel, Director & Senior Neurologist (DM Neurology) with over 27 years of specialised neurological experience, our team combines advanced diagnostic technology with personalised care to identify the exact cause of your symptoms and provide targeted treatment.
If you are looking for the best vertigo specialist in Jalandhar, vertigo treatment in Punjab or an experienced neurologist for dizziness and balance disorders, NHS Neurocare offers comprehensive care under one roof.
What is Vertigo?
Vertigo is not a disease itself—it is a symptom that creates the sensation that you or your surroundings are spinning or moving, even when you are completely still.
Unlike ordinary dizziness, vertigo often results from disorders affecting the inner ear (vestibular system) or the brain, making accurate diagnosis essential. Because several neurological conditions can present with vertigo, specialist assessment by a neurologist is often required.
At NHS Neurocare, we focus on identifying the underlying cause rather than simply treating the symptom.
Conditions We Diagnose and Treat
Our specialists manage a wide range of vestibular and neurological disorders, including:
- Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
- Vestibular Neuritis
- Labyrinthitis
- Ménière’s Disease
- Vestibular Migraine
- Cervicogenic Dizziness
- Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD)
- Balance Disorders
- Recurrent Dizziness
- Motion Sensitivity
- Central Vertigo
- Stroke-Related Vertigo
- Cerebellar Disorders
- Neurological Causes of Dizziness
Every patient undergoes a thorough assessment to determine the precise cause of symptoms before treatment begins.
Symptoms That Should Never Be Ignored
Seek specialist evaluation if you experience:
- A spinning sensation
- Recurrent dizziness
- Loss of balance
- Difficulty walking steadily
- Feeling as though you may fall
- Nausea or vomiting associated with dizziness
- Symptoms triggered by changing head position

WARNING: Sudden vertigo associated with weakness, facial drooping or difficulty speaking may indicate a stroke and requires immediate emergency medical attention.

Comprehensive Treatment for Vertigo
Treatment depends entirely on the underlying diagnosis.
Canal Repositioning Manoeuvres
Patients with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) often benefit from specialised repositioning manoeuvres performed by trained professionals. These evidence-based techniques can provide rapid symptom relief without surgery.
Medical Management
Medication may be prescribed to control dizziness, nausea or associated neurological conditions when appropriate. Our specialists also treat the underlying cause rather than relying solely on symptom-relieving medicines.
Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy
Patients with persistent balance problems benefit from customised vestibular rehabilitation exercises designed to:
- Improve balance & reduce dizziness
- Enhance walking confidence & coordination
- Reduce the risk of falls
- Accelerate recovery
Stroke Evaluation
Because vertigo can occasionally be an early sign of stroke, NHS Neurocare provides immediate neurological assessment through our Stroke Ready Centre, supported by 24/7 Emergency Services, advanced MRI and CT imaging, a dedicated Stroke ICU, and comprehensive Neurocritical Care. Rapid diagnosis can be life-saving.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between dizziness and vertigo?
Dizziness is a general feeling of light-headedness or unsteadiness, while vertigo is the specific sensation that you or your surroundings are spinning or moving.
2. What causes vertigo?
Vertigo may result from inner ear disorders such as BPPV, vestibular neuritis or Ménière’s disease, as well as neurological conditions including migraine or stroke.
3. Is vertigo a sign of stroke?
Most cases are not caused by stroke. However, sudden vertigo accompanied by facial weakness, difficulty speaking, vision changes or limb weakness requires immediate emergency assessment.
4. What is BPPV?
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is the most common cause of vertigo and occurs when tiny calcium crystals inside the inner ear become displaced. It can often be effectively treated with repositioning manoeuvres.
5. Will I need an MRI?
Not every patient requires brain imaging. Your neurologist will recommend MRI or CT scanning when symptoms suggest a neurological cause or when further evaluation is necessary.
6. Can vertigo be cured?
Many causes of vertigo, including BPPV, can be successfully treated. Others, such as Ménière’s disease or vestibular migraine, can usually be effectively managed with appropriate treatment and follow-up.
7. What is vestibular rehabilitation?
Vestibular rehabilitation is a specialised exercise programme designed to improve balance, reduce dizziness and help the brain adapt to vestibular disorders.
8. Why does vertigo return?
Recurrence depends on the underlying condition. Regular follow-up, rehabilitation and lifestyle advice can significantly reduce the risk of future episodes.
9. Why is a dedicated Vertigo Lab important?
A dedicated Vertigo Lab allows specialists to accurately identify the cause of dizziness and balance disorders, leading to more precise diagnosis and personalised treatment rather than simply managing symptoms.
