What exactly are balance disorders?

Balance problems can be both physical and mental. This is because your brain may believe you are moving when you are not. Walking, for example, may cause you to feel as if you are falling or stumbling. You may also experience dizziness and blurred vision.

Your balance is also affected by changes in joint strength, mobility, and proprioception (your body’s ability to sense movement, action, and location).

What factors contribute to balance disorders?

Your vestibular system is in charge of your sense of position, also known as “proprioception,” and vestibular system dysfunction is at the root of many balance problems.

Meniere’s disease, Vestibular Neuronitis, Perilymph Fistula, and Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo are a few balance disorders (BPPV).
