By Dr Ananya Mandal, MD
Several diseases and disorders affecting the inner ear or brain or certain medications may cause balance disorders. The causes may vary from infections (viral or bacterial), head injury, disorders of blood circulation etc.
Those who have injuries or illnesses of the eyes or have problems with the skeletal system (e.g. arthritis) may also experience balance difficulties. These disorders may lead to a conflict of signals to the brain about the sensation of movement and can lead to balance problems.
