Dizziness & Vertigo Services

The key to treating dizziness is proper diagnosis. Dr. McKnight, Dr. Taylor, and the rest of our staff specialize in treating vestibular and balance disorders. A proper diagnosis takes time, training, and technology.

At Tallgrass Balance Hearing and Physical Therapy, we schedule each new patient with a 1.5 hour long appointment, ensuring a thorough evaluation of the vestibular system. All testing is painless and tests are ordered on an individual basis.

We continue to invest in state-of-the-art technology, typically found only at research centers. With proper information, we can develop a treatment plan designed to get you feeling like yourself again.

Services Offered

  • Evaluation of Dizziness
    • Videonystagmography (VNG): a series of tests that evaluate the inner ear and balance system by measuring eye movements.
    • Sinusodial Harmonic Acceleration (SHA): known at our clinic as “the spinning chair” is a series of tests that measures a patient’s vestibulo-ocular-reflex function. The patient is in a chair that slowly rotates and relative eye movements are measured.

    • Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potential (VEMP): a battery of testing used to assess the specific function of several inner ear organs that are essential for balance and can cause dizziness.
    • Balance Assessments: bedside balance testing can be conducted to look at how the inner ear functions with the brain, eyes, and muscles.
