Dizziness Center

Dizziness Center
Center / No.08 / 3F

Not the symptom of dizziness,
but what is shaking your balance.

Neurology diagnoses the cause, and vestibular assessment, gait rehabilitation and postural correction help restore balance. When needed, we work with the Korean Medicine Center.

If this sounds like you

The tests say
nothing is wrong.

Dizziness has many causes, and it is easy to miss when only one department looks.

01The room spins when I turn my head
02I lose my balance when I get up in the morning
03My ears feel blocked and ring
04I drift to one side when I walk
05Several hospitals told me nothing was wrong
06I go out less for fear of falling
How we see it

Four departments
see the same patient.

We check vestibular function, the autonomic nervous system and even the heart together. Once the cause is found, vestibular rehabilitation exercise retrains your balance.

01Vestibular function tests

Eye movements show the state of your balance organs.

02Neurological · Autonomic tests

We distinguish causes in the brain and the autonomic nervous system.

03Joint reading

Neurology, Rehabilitation Medicine, Korean Medicine and Internal Medicine read the results together.

04Treatment by cause

Repositioning maneuvers for BPPV, medication and Korean medicine, matched to the cause.

05Vestibular rehabilitation

We finish with exercise therapy that retrains your sense of balance.

Not the symptom of dizziness,
but what is shaking your body’s balance.

Vestibular Rehabilitation ClinicEars, brain, neck, blood pressure. The cause of dizziness is never in just one place.

Frequently asked questions

What people ask most
before a visit.

For questions not covered here, message a coordinator on WhatsApp, or on LINE from Japan and Taiwan.

QIf it is BPPV, does it go away right away?+
Repositioning maneuvers often help, but recurrence is common. To reduce it, we add vestibular rehabilitation exercise.
QDo I need an MRI for dizziness?+
Not everyone does. It is done selectively when neurological symptoms are also present.
QCan Korean medicine be combined?+
Yes, if you wish. We work with the Korean Medicine Center on the 6th floor of the same building.
QHow long does treatment take?+
It depends on the cause. Vestibular rehabilitation is usually planned as a 4–8 week course.

Start with why you are unsteady,
and get it right.
