Inner ear problems are one of the most common causes of vertigo. The inner ear is responsible for balance and spatial orientation. If there is an issue with the inner ear, it can lead to vertigo.

Migraines are another potential cause of vertigo. In some cases, migraines can cause dizziness and nausea, which can feel similar to vertigo. Dr. Rockwell MD can help diagnose and manage migraines, which may include lifestyle changes, medication, and other treatments.
