Balance IssuesBalance Issues involve difficulty maintaining stability, coordination, and equilibrium, often leading to dizziness or unsteadiness. These problems can result from malfunctions in the inner ear (vestibular system), nervous system, or other systems involved in balance. Since balance relies on coordination between the inner ear, muscles, joints, eyes, and other systems, any disruption can cause problems. If you’re experiencing balance difficulties, contact Naugatuck Valley ENT at (203) 578-4630 for an evaluation.
