When dizziness keeps coming back or headaches begin taking over your day, the real question is: what's causing them? At the Vertigo & Headache Clinic at Sterling Hospitals, we provide specialised evaluation and treatment for recurring headaches, migraine, dizziness, vertigo and balance-related concerns.

Vertigo, migraine and balance-related problems can often feel similar, but their causes may be very different. With comprehensive headache assessment and a dedicated Vertigo Lab, our approach focuses on identifying the underlying cause and creating a personalised treatment plan to help you regain comfort, confidence and control in everyday life.

When Should You Seek Medical Attention?

Consider consulting a specialist if you frequently experience:

• Frequent dizziness or repeated episodes of light-headedness
• Spinning sensations, where you or your surroundings seem to be moving
• Loss of balance or unsteadiness while standing or walking
• Recurring severe headaches that interfere with everyday activities
• Nausea, particularly when accompanied by dizziness or headaches
• Sensitivity to light or sound during headache episodes

These symptoms may be associated with vertigo, migraine or other conditions affecting balance and neurological function. A detailed evaluation can help identify the possible cause and guide appropriate treatment.

Diagnosis

A detailed evaluation helps identify whether dizziness, vertigo, headaches or balance problems are linked to the inner ear, balance system or a neurological condition.

• Chronic Headache Evaluation

A comprehensive assessment to understand the pattern and possible cause of recurring or severe headaches. The evaluation may include headache frequency and duration, location and intensity of pain, possible triggers, associated nausea or vomiting, visual disturbances, sensitivity to light or sound, and impact on daily activities.

• Video Nystagmography (VNG)

A specialised test that records eye movements using video goggles to assess how the balance system is functioning. It helps evaluate abnormal involuntary eye movements, inner-ear balance function, possible causes of dizziness and vertigo, and whether symptoms may be linked to the vestibular system.

• Hearing Tests

Hearing assessments help evaluate how well different parts of the hearing system are functioning. These tests can help identify hearing loss or changes in hearing, differences in hearing between the ears, inner-ear abnormalities, and hearing-related conditions that may be associated with vertigo or dizziness.

• Ear Function Tests

Specialised tests assess the functioning of the ear and inner-ear balance system. They may help evaluate inner-ear function, vestibular or balance-related abnormalities, ear-related causes of dizziness, and possible reasons for recurrent vertigo or imbalance.

Treatment

Treatment is planned according to the underlying cause, severity of symptoms and how frequently they affect everyday life.

• Botox for Chronic Migraine

Botox may be recommended for eligible patients with chronic migraine to help reduce the frequency and severity of migraine episodes. Treatment involves small injections at specific points around the head and neck, as preventive treatment for chronic migraine, aiming for reduction in the frequency of migraine episodes and better long-term symptom management in suitable patients.

• Lifestyle Counselling for Migraine Management

Personalised counselling helps patients identify and manage everyday factors that may trigger or worsen migraine, including maintaining regular sleep patterns, staying adequately hydrated, following consistent meal timings, identifying and avoiding personal migraine triggers, managing stress, and maintaining appropriate physical activity and daily routines.

• Vertigo Management

Treatment for vertigo depends on the specific underlying cause identified during evaluation. Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may include repositioning manoeuvres for certain types of positional vertigo, medicines to manage dizziness or associated symptoms, balance exercises, vestibular rehabilitation, and guidance to reduce the risk of falls and recurrent episodes.

• Balance Rehabilitation

A customised rehabilitation programme helps improve stability and the body's ability to adapt to changes in movement and balance. It may include exercises to improve balance and stability, coordination, walking confidence, head and eye movement control, adaptation to movement, and safety during everyday activities.
