What is the VNG Test?
Videonystagmography (VNG) is a non-invasive test that helps identify the cause of dizziness, balance problems, and potential signs of a concussion. It tracks eye movements using infrared goggles to understand how well the brain and inner ear work together.
Why it matters: Concussions can be silent but serious. VNG testing helps us catch signs early and take the right steps toward healing.
