The Balance Disorders Institute of Los Angeles is a licensed Medicare rehabilitation facility that specializes in the treatment of balance disorders of vestibular, central and postural origins. We are members of the Southern California Stroke Association, The Vestibular Disorders Association (VEDA) and are proud associates of the American Parkinson's Disease Association (APDA).

In addition to rehabilitation, our facility also assists the physician in diagnostic procedures to help "differentiate" or determine the exact cause of most types of balance disorders. Diagnostics include the Vestibular Autorotation Test, ENG, Sensory Integration Testing, clinical balance and postural assessment, and other available audiology services.

The Balance Disorders Institute is also actively involved in clinical research and education. We have published many studies and articles on balance disorders and regularly teach academic and continuing education seminars as well as public education lectures.
