- Is described as a sensation of movement (spinning, swaying…) despite the body being stationary with respect to environment. Effects can be slight, but often induce nausea, or difficulties in standing or walking. Typically, vertigo is associated with a vestibular (balance) dysfunction in the inner ear and may be cause by a number of factors including infection, inflammation, systemic viral infections, and may be a warning sign of M.S. It is important to view the body as a whole to help identify causative factors. Lab tests in addition to complete patient history and physical exam are of great help in determining an appropriate course of action. Common remedies for vertigo include homeopathics, diet and nutritional supplementation, and botanicals.
