- Central Vertigo: Originates from problems in the central nervous system, particularly the brainstem or cerebellum, which play key roles in balance and spatial orientation.
- Peripheral Vertigo: Originates from problems in the inner ear or vestibular nerve, which are essential for balance.
WHAT IS VERTIGO ?
Vertigo is a unique form of dizziness where one feels a false sensation of spinning or movement, affecting balance and spatial orientation. This condition often arises from issues within the inner ear, brain, or both.
