About Vertigo doctors in India
This directory is based on doctors currently listed in GAF Healthcare's registry. Clinical suitability varies by patient; a doctor should review your history and investigations before any treatment decision.
About the Condition
What is Vertigo?
Vertigo is a symptom characterised by a false sensation of spinning or movement, most commonly caused by disturbances in the inner ear or, less frequently, by problems affecting the brain and its connections. While many episodes are self-limiting, recurrent or severe vertigo can significantly impair daily functioning, increase the risk of falls and injury, and may occasionally signal an underlying condition requiring prompt investigation. Associated risks include hearing loss, chronic imbalance, anxiety, and — in centrally mediated cases — cerebrovascular disease. A thorough assessment typically combines a detailed medical history, physical and neurological examination, and targeted investigations to identify the underlying cause before any treatment pathway is recommended.

Treatment options for Vertigo
Care may include lifestyle changes, medical treatment, specialist review or a procedure, depending on the diagnosis, associated conditions and individual goals. The options below are associated with this condition in the GAF Healthcare directory.
Vertigo Assessment & Treatment involves a structured evaluation of balance and inner-ear function to identify the cause of dizziness or spinning sensations, followed by targeted therapy such as repositioning maneuvers, vestibular rehabilitation, or medical/surgical management for underlying conditions like BPPV or Meniere's disease.
Why it may be consideredIt is recommended for patients with recurrent dizziness, imbalance, or hearing-related vertigo affecting daily function. Early diagnosis helps rule out serious neurological causes and guides the most effective, least invasive treatment path.
Vertigo Management refers to the diagnostic evaluation and treatment of the false sensation of spinning or movement, most commonly caused by inner ear disorders such as BPPV, Meniere's disease, or vestibular neuritis.
Why it may be consideredTreatment ranges from targeted repositioning maneuvers and medications to vestibular rehabilitation therapy and, in rare refractory cases, surgery. The goal is to identify the underlying cause, relieve symptoms, and restore balance and quality of life.

Common questions
FAQs about Vertigo in India
What is Vertigo?
Vertigo is the perception that you or your surroundings are spinning or moving when no such movement is actually occurring; it is a symptom rather than a diagnosis in itself, most often arising from disorders of the inner ear (peripheral vertigo) or, less commonly, from the brain or brainstem (central vertigo).
What are the symptoms and health risks of Vertigo?
Common features include a spinning or tilting sensation, nausea and vomiting, unsteady gait, abnormal eye movements (nystagmus), a feeling of ear fullness, and in some cases tinnitus or muffled hearing. Severe or persistent episodes can lead to falls, reduced mobility, and significant psychological distress. However, experiencing these symptoms is not sufficient to establish a diagnosis or identify a cause — a qualified clinician must evaluate each case individually.
How is Vertigo diagnosed?
Diagnosis begins with a careful history covering the onset, duration, and triggers of episodes, alongside any associated hearing changes, head trauma, or neurological symptoms. Physical examination typically includes positional manoeuvre tests such as the Dix-Hallpike and head impulse test, assessment of nystagmus, and a full neurological review to help distinguish peripheral from central causes. Depending on findings, further investigations may include audiometry, videonystagmography (VNG), vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs), or brain MRI — particularly where a central or vascular cause is suspected.
How is Vertigo treated?
Treatment is highly dependent on the underlying diagnosis and may range from a single corrective manoeuvre performed in clinic to longer-term medical management or, in a minority of cases, procedural intervention. For the most common cause — benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) — canalith repositioning manoeuvres such as the Epley procedure are frequently effective. Other causes, such as Ménière's disease, vestibular neuritis, or centrally mediated vertigo, require tailored approaches that a specialist will determine following full assessment.
Can Vertigo be treated without surgery?
Non-procedural management is the mainstay of care for most people with vertigo and may include canalith repositioning manoeuvres, supervised vestibular rehabilitation therapy (a structured physiotherapy programme to retrain balance), dietary modifications and diuretics for Ménière's disease, antiviral or corticosteroid treatment for vestibular neuritis, and medications to reduce acute symptom burden such as vestibular suppressants or antiemetics. Surgical or interventional options — such as intratympanic injections, endolymphatic sac surgery, or vestibular nerve section — are generally reserved for cases that are refractory to conservative treatment; your clinician will advise whether any such option is appropriate for your specific situation.
When is Vertigo Assessment & Treatment considered for Vertigo?
Vertigo Assessment & Treatment may be considered when conservative or medical options have not achieved enough improvement, or when the severity of the condition warrants it. The decision depends on clinical assessment, expected benefits and individual risks.
Which doctor treats Vertigo?
Vertigo is most commonly evaluated and managed by an otolaryngologist (ENT specialist) or a neuro-otologist for inner-ear causes, and by a neurologist where a central or cerebrovascular cause is suspected. A specialist in audiovestibular medicine or a physiotherapist with vestibular rehabilitation expertise may also form part of the care team.
How do I choose a doctor for Vertigo?
When selecting a clinician, it is worth looking for an ENT specialist or neuro-otologist with demonstrated experience in vestibular disorders, access to diagnostic facilities such as VNG or audiometry, and the ability to refer to neurology or rehabilitation services when needed. Continuity of follow-up matters, as some causes of vertigo require monitoring or treatment adjustment over time.
What documents do international patients need to share for a medical evaluation?
Share a medical summary, investigation and imaging or biopsy reports where relevant, a current medication list, previous diagnoses and related treatment records. Provide clear copies with translation where needed.
How does GAF Healthcare help international patients plan treatment in India?
Our care coordination team helps review initial medical information, connect you with suitable doctors and hospitals, explain next steps and indicative estimates, and organise a treatment plan before travel.
