Vestibular and Balance Testing Laboratory

Forty percent of people over the age of 40 experience dizziness or balance problems at some point in their life. There are many causes for dizziness, but a large percentage is caused by an imbalance or loss within the peripheral vestibular system. If you are seen at Mayo Clinic for a balance or dizziness problem, your physician may order testing in the Vestibular and Balance Testing Laboratory.
