Understanding Dizziness, Balance Problems, and Unsteady Gait

Dizziness is a broad term that can mean different things to different people. You might feel lightheaded, woozy, off-balance, or like the room is spinning (which is more specifically called vertigo). It can be brief or prolonged, and can range from mild to severe. It’s always advisable to visit a clinic to receive the necessary treatment to manage symptoms.

Balance Problems
