Every vertigo condition requires a different approach. Dr. Abhijeet Kumar offers specialized diagnosis and treatment for the complete spectrum of vestibular disorders.
Gold-standard, non-invasive treatment for BPPV. A series of specific head movements that reposition displaced calcium crystals in the inner ear — providing immediate relief in most cases.
Specialized exercise-based therapy for chronic balance disorders and PPPD. Customized programs that retrain the brain and inner ear to work together again.
Complete vestibular profile including Dix-Hallpike positional testing and balance evaluation. Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective treatment — we never guess.

The most common type of vertigo — highly treatable
Sudden spinning when turning in bed, brief episodes under 1 minute, dizziness triggered by head positions, nausea with spinning.
Tiny calcium crystals (otoconia) in the inner ear become displaced and migrate into the semicircular canals, sending false signals to the brain.
The Epley Maneuver — a specific sequence of head movements — guides the crystals back to their correct location. Most patients experience significant relief within 1-3 sessions.
Sudden severe vertigo lasting days — treatable with medication
Sudden, severe constant vertigo lasting days to weeks. Severe nausea and vomiting, difficulty walking, often preceded by viral infection.
Inflammation of the vestibular nerve, usually from viral infection. The nerve sends distorted balance signals to the brain.
Medication management for acute phase (2-4 weeks), followed by Vestibular Rehabilitation to help the brain compensate. Most recover fully.
Dizziness triggered by specific head or body positions
Vertigo episodes triggered by looking up, bending down, rolling in bed, or quick head movements. Brief but intense spinning sensations.
Dix-Hallpike testing identifies affected canal; Epley or appropriate repositioning maneuver resolves most cases. Home exercises prevent recurrence.
Chronic dizziness lasting months — responds to VRT
Persistent dizziness or unsteadiness lasting 3+ months. Worsens with upright posture, movement, or visual patterns. Often follows an acute vertigo event.
Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT) is the gold-standard treatment. 6-8 weeks of specialized exercises help the brain recalibrate balance signals.
Inner ear infection causing vertigo + hearing changes
Severe vertigo combined with hearing loss or tinnitus (ringing in ears). Nausea, vomiting, and difficulty concentrating.
Medical management of infection with anti-inflammatory medication. Vestibular suppressants for acute phase, then VRT for full recovery.
Both inner ears affected — requires specialized VRT
Unsteadiness when walking (especially in dark), oscillopsia (bouncing vision during movement), difficulty with balance on uneven surfaces.
Intensive Vestibular Rehabilitation with adaptation, substitution, and habituation exercises. Gaze stabilization training to reduce oscillopsia. 3-6 months program.
Brief repetitive vertigo attacks — medication responsive
Very brief (seconds to 1 minute) spontaneous attacks of vertigo occurring multiple times per day.
Responds well to specific medications that stabilize nerve activity. Most patients experience dramatic reduction in attack frequency within days to weeks.
Neck-related dizziness from cervical spine issues
Dizziness or imbalance linked to neck pain, stiffness, or head movement. Common in people with poor posture, cervical spondylosis, or after neck injury.
Combined approach — vestibular evaluation to rule out inner ear causes, plus referral to physiotherapy for cervical spine issues. Posture correction and neck exercises.
Dizziness on standing due to blood pressure drop
Lightheadedness or dizziness when standing up quickly from sitting or lying. May cause brief vision blackouts, weakness, or fainting feeling.
Assessment to distinguish from vestibular vertigo. Lifestyle modifications (hydration, slow position changes, compression stockings), plus referral to a physician for blood pressure management when needed.
Chronic unsteadiness without spinning — specialized care
Constant feeling of being off-balance or drifting to one side. No actual spinning. Difficulty walking in straight line, fear of falling, unsteadiness on uneven surfaces.
Comprehensive vestibular assessment to identify underlying cause. Customized balance retraining through VRT, gait training, and proprioceptive exercises.
Complex or unusual cases — assessed on consultation
Meniere's disease, Vestibular Migraine, Mal de Debarquement, post-concussion dizziness, and other complex vestibular conditions. Every case receives thorough evaluation before treatment planning.
That's normal. Vertigo has many causes, and only a specialist can accurately diagnose yours. Call for a comprehensive consultation — we'll identify the exact cause and recommend the right treatment.
Most general ENT doctors see vertigo occasionally. Dr. Abhijeet sees it every day. That focus translates into faster diagnosis, more accurate treatment, and better outcomes.
