Specialized Technology

State-of-the-art technology to diagnose and treat balance and dizziness disorders.

Werner Institute for Balance and Dizziness utilizes state-of-the-art specialized technologies designed to give the most accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment for balance and dizziness disorders.

Some of the specialized technologies we use include:

Epley Omniax Chair

Epley OmniaxThe Omniax* was designed to precisely align the semicircular canal being treated to be parallel with gravitational pull of the earth allowing maximum force to reposition the particles (calcium crystals) quickly and efficiently. Traditional table maneuvers can only approximate the canal to gravity relationship and can be off sometime up to 20-30 degrees due to cervical disease, fear, obesity of patient, and restricted mobility of the lumbar spine.
*Available at Las Vegas location.

Vestibular Auto-Roation Test

Vestibular Auto-Rotation Test (VAT®) is an 18 second sinusoidal head-turn test of the horizontal and vertical visual-vestibulo-ocular response (VVOR) for the diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring of patients with dizziness, balance and mobility problems associated with vestibular disease.

VNG

VNG (Videoelectronystagmography) is designed to test inner ear and central motor functions. VNG measures the movements of the eyes directly through infrared cameras and is considered to be more accurate, consistent, and comfortable for the patient.

Repositioning Epley Maneuvers

Some call it "top-shelf" syndrome or positional vertigo - specifically for patients with a diagnosis of Benign Paroxysmal Positioning Vertigo (BPPV), vestibular/balance therapy may consist of one or more visits using a repositioning maneuver for management of the positional vertigo.
