Frequently asked questions

How long might my vertigo treatment last?
The duration can vary significantly depending on the cause of your vertigo and your individual response. Some patients may experience improvement within a few weeks with therapy and medication, while other more complex cases might require longer follow-up to help stabilize the condition. My goal is to support you until you feel better.
What is the cost of the consultation and treatment, and do you offer payment options?
The cost of the initial consultation and subsequent treatments will be clearly communicated to you before any procedure. I understand that this is an investment in your health, so my team can guide you on available payment options and plans that may suit your needs, although I do not handle direct financing.
Can I expect any side effects from vertigo treatments?
As with any medical treatment, it's possible you may experience some effects. These can range from mild discomfort to, in rare cases, more significant reactions, depending on the specific therapy. I will always inform you in detail about the potential side effects of each option before starting it, so you can make an informed decision.
What should I expect from my first consultation with you?
During your first consultation, I will conduct a thorough interview to understand your history and symptoms in detail. Then, I will proceed with a physical examination and, if necessary, some specific otoneurological tests in the office. My aim is to gather as much information as possible to begin outlining an accurate diagnosis.
Are there contraindications for vertigo treatments?
Some treatments may have specific contraindications, depending on your general health status, other medical conditions you may have, or medications you are taking. It is crucial that you inform me about your entire medical history during the initial evaluation so that we can select the safest and most suitable options for you.
What other treatment alternatives exist if the one you propose doesn't work?
In otoneurology, we have various tools and approaches. If an initial treatment does not yield the expected results, we will always explore other therapeutic options, such as medication adjustments, different types of vestibular rehabilitation, or, in very specific cases, more advanced procedures. My commitment is to seek the solution that best adapts to your progress.
