Midwest Dizziness and Balance Institute (MDBI) is a specialty clinic in Creve Coeur, Missouri, focused on diagnosing and treating dizziness and disorders of the vestibular system, which helps the brain interpret balance and spatial orientation. Its audiologists work with people experiencing vertigo, lightheadedness, imbalance, motion or visual sensitivity, a “foggy-headed” feeling, vestibular migraines, concussion-related symptoms, and certain forms of dizziness associated with stroke or central causes.

MDBI provides comprehensive, non-invasive balance assessments using a series of tests to evaluate the inner-ear system. After reviewing the findings, the team recommends an individualized treatment plan rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Services include Advanced Vestibular Treatment and Visual Vestibular Integration therapy, with some plans incorporating home exercises. The clinic says treatment may involve one to 12 visits, depending on the patient’s needs. MDBI accepts self-referrals and physician referrals, and reports that it is in network with all insurances, including Medicare; it verifies benefits and provides a cost estimate as a courtesy.
