VNG Concussion Testing
What is the VNG test?
Videonystagmography (VNG) is a non-invasive test that helps identify the cause of dizziness, vertigo, imbalance, motion sensitivity, and potential post-concussion changes. Using lightweight infrared goggles, VNG tracks your eye movements while you perform simple visual and head-position tasks to see how well your inner ear (vestibular system) and brain work together.
Why it matters
Concussions and vestibular disorders can be silent but serious. VNG helps us catch problems early, pinpoint the source of symptoms, and guide the right treatment plan—so you can recover with clarity and confidence.
