The vestibular system also helps us maintain a steady focus on objects even though the position of our body changes. This is accomplished by mechanical forces, such as gravity, acting upon our vestibular organs as we move.<\/p>\n<p>This sophisticated system is constantly correcting itself in order to maintain balance, and these corrections are happening at all times throughout all your movements.

It is a way of letting you know something within your body is out of sync and can be an indicator of a variety of health disorders.<\/p>\n<p>In order to determine what the underlying cause of dizziness is, it is important to have a full diagnostic work-up to pinpoint where treatment should occur.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In order to keep the feeling of balance, our vestibular system works with other sensorimotor systems in the body, such as our visual system (eyes) and skeletal system (bones and joints).
