Balance Care

The Balance Center at Shore Memorial uses a series of sophisticated and painless tests to diagnose for balance or dizziness disorders. The testing process takes slightly more than an hour and offers patients complete diagnostics and vestibular (balance) therapy treatment, giving them confidence to get back on their feet.

Symptoms of a Balance Disorder

The Balance Center is designed for anyone with dizziness, vertigo, difficulty judging distance, people with an increased risk of falling and anyone who has fallen once in the past year. Approximately 90 million Americans suffer from dizziness. If you or someone you know experiences dizziness or difficulty balancing, ask your doctor to schedule a balance test at Shore Memorial. For more information, call (609) 653-3512.
