Announcing New Service: Video-Nystagmography
Drs. Ross and Bear have undergone advanced training in video-nystagmography (VNG) through the Rehabilitation and
Balance Center at Emory University in Atlanta. This advanced technology will assist in the diagnosis and management of
patients experiencing dizziness, vertigo and balance disorders.
Video-nystagmography (VNG) is a series of tests that are used to help determine the causes of a patient's dizziness or
balance problems. Dizziness can be caused by problems with the inner ear (the vestibule) or with the brain. Dizziness can
also be caused by medical disorders such as low blood pressure, or by psychological problems such as anxiety.
