Why a specialised practice for dizziness
Dizziness complaints can have a major impact on daily functioning. People may experience, for example, instability while walking, spinning dizziness, motion sensitivity or a light-headed feeling.
Because dizziness can have different causes, it is important to first carefully assess where the complaints may be coming from. In many cases, focused assessment can help to better understand the cause and choose an appropriate treatment.
Understanding the complaints
Different forms of dizziness
Dizziness can be experienced in different ways, such as spinning dizziness, instability, motion sensitivity or a light-headed feeling.
Careful assessment
First exploring the cause
Because dizziness can have different causes, appropriate care starts with careful analysis of the complaint pattern.

Assessing the most likely direction

Care around dizziness can involve more than one discipline
Dizziness complaints can have different causes, and sometimes several factors play a role at the same time. That is why collaboration with other healthcare providers can be important.
If needed, collaboration may take place with, among others, GPs, ENT doctors, occupational therapists and psychologists. There is close collaboration with specialised ENT doctors from Bergman Clinics.
GP or specialist
Additional assessment
When the situation calls for it, further assessment through a GP or specialist may be appropriate.
ENT care
Coordination where needed
For complaints in which the vestibular system may play a role, coordination with ENT care may be relevant.
Other disciplines
Looking more broadly when several factors play a role
Depending on the situation, collaboration with for example occupational therapy or psychology may also be relevant.
For people with dizziness and balance complaints
Duizeligheid.nl focuses on people with dizziness and balance complaints. These may include complaints such as spinning dizziness, instability while walking, motion sensitivity or a light-headed feeling.
People with residual complaints after disorders of the vestibular system or after surgery in the area of the vestibular organ may also benefit from specialised assessment and treatment.
