Neurological Evaluation
At Balance and Dizziness Center, our mission is to provide compassionate and comprehensive medical care to all of our patients. Our board-certified neurologist, Dr. Michael Heublum, conducts a thorough evaluation to determine which tests are needed to diagnose the problem.
VNG/Calorics

VNG/Calorics
We provide specialized vestibular testing, including Videonystagmography (VNG) and caloric tests. VNG is a non-invasive diagnostic tool that uses infrared cameras to record eye movements, helping to detect disorders of the inner ear and central motor functions. Caloric testing involves stimulating the inner ear with warm or cool air or water to evaluate the function of the vestibular system, crucial for balance. These tests help diagnose conditions like vertigo, dizziness, and vestibular disorders such as, vestibular neuritis, BPPV and labyrinthitis. efficiently and safely, providing detailed insights into vestibular function.

Tilt Table and ANS
We provide Tilt Table Testing to evaluate the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS). This test involves tilting the patient at different angles to monitor blood pressure, heart rate, and other physiological responses. It's crucial for diagnosing disorders like POTS, syncope, and other autonomic dysfunctions.

Audiological Evaluation
We offer comprehensive hearing tests to evaluate your auditory health. Our tests include pure-tone audiometry, which measures your ability to hear sounds at different pitches and volumes, and speech audiometry, which assesses your ability to understand speech. We also provide ABR/cochlear microphonic to evaluate the outer hair cell function. These non-invasive tests help diagnose hearing loss, middle ear issues, and other auditory conditions efficiently and accurately, allowing us to tailor the best treatment plan for your hearing needs.

Ultrasounds
We offer specialized vascular and cardiac ultrasound evaluations. This non-invasive imaging technique uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of blood vessels and the heart, helping diagnose conditions like arterial blockages, aneurysms, and heart disease efficiently and safely.

Rod and Frame Test
The Rod and Frame Test (RFT) is a diagnostic tool used to assess an individual's perception of verticality and spatial orientation. This task evaluates how visual and vestibular cues influence the perception of true vertical. The RFT is particularly useful in identifying visual dependency and vestibular dysfunction, as it can reveal how much a person relies on visual information for balance and spatial orientation. This test aids in diagnosing balance disorders, spatial disorientation, and related conditions, providing valuable insights.disorders.
