| | Dizziness aHealthyAdvantage |
 | | If the dizziness is not treatable by drugs, surgery, or other means, physical therapy may be used and the patient may be taught coping mechanisms for the problem. | | | For example, people sometimes experience motion sickness because the information from their body tells the brain that they are sitting still, but information from the eyes indicates that they are moving. | | | Vision and the body's senses are the most important systems for maintaining balance, but problems in the inner ear are the most frequent cause of dizziness. |

| | Dizziness is one area where doctors and patients fail to see eye to eye. | | | Another possibility is that the subject is not very verbally adept as often happens in children who are dizzy or with someone with poor verbal skills or even being nervous in a doctor's office. | | | Cupulolithiasis is a condition in which the otoliths break off and directly weigh down and stimulate the sensitive part of the semicircular canals, the cupula, that contains the sensitive hair cells. |

| | If no cause can be found for your dizziness, your health care provider may prescribe medicine for the balance mechanism in your inner ear. | | | You should speak to your physician or make an appointment to be seen if you have questions or concerns about this information or your medical condition. | | | These drugs are usually the same drugs you might take for motion sickness, such as meclizine (Antivert). |

| | Dizziness |
| | Dizziness can result from disturbances in the inner ear, brain eyes, neck, muscles and joints, or a combination of these systems. | | | The proprioceptive system is made up of the muscles, joints and tendons in the arms and legs and is responsible for giving information to the brain regarding movement and body position. | | | If no other cause can be found, the inner ear is often thought to be the source of the problem. |
