Dr Padilla

Understanding dizziness

Dizziness may have many causes. The aim of assessment is to understand your symptoms, identify meaningful patterns and discuss a personalised pathway that may include testing, guidance, treatment or rehabilitation.

Assessment can include

  • Clinical history and examination
  • Head Impulse Test
  • Dix–Hallpike positional assessment
  • Functional mobility and gait assessment
  • Oculomotor testing
  • Caloric testing
  • Video Head Impulse Test (vHIT)
  • Videonystagmography (VNG)
  • Hearing assessment where appropriate
  • Tinnitus profiling

Integrated ongoing support

Care may include precise diagnostic insight, vestibular physiotherapy guidance, lifestyle-aligned therapy pathways, long-term rehabilitation strategies and structured follow-up. Complex cases can be managed using integrated care.

New severe dizziness with chest pain, severe headache, weakness, speech difficulty or sudden neurological symptoms needs emergency assessment.
