Vertigo and Dizziness

Vertigo and dizziness are two of the most common reasons that individuals visit doctors in Australia and throughout the rest of the world. The term dizziness refers to a range of uncomfortable sensations, including feeling faint, light headed, losing your sense of balance, false feelings of your body spinning and feeling woozy. The term vertigo refers more specifically to a false sense of spinning or sideways movement.
