Vertigo

Our specialized care focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of your condition through advanced diagnostic techniques and precise treatment methods to help you regain your balance and confidence.

Understanding Vertigo

Vertigo is more than just a feeling of dizziness – it’s a complex condition that creates a false sensation of movement or spinning, even when you’re completely still. This disorienting experience occurs when there’s a disconnect between your visual system, inner ear, and the brain’s positioning sensors. While some people experience occasional episodes, others may face persistent symptoms that significantly impact their ability to perform daily activities, drive, or maintain their usual routine.

Benefits of Vertigo Treatment

Immediate Symptom Relief

Many patients experience significant relief from their vertigo symptoms after their initial treatment sessions. Our targeted interventions work to realign the upper cervical spine and restore proper nerve function, which can provide quick relief from spinning sensations, dizziness, and associated symptoms. This rapid improvement allows you to return to your daily activities with renewed confidence and stability.

FAQs About Vertigo

What causes vertigo?

Vertigo can stem from various sources, including inner ear disorders like BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo), cervical spine misalignments, or vestibular neuritis. Upper cervical spine issues often contribute to vertigo by disrupting the normal communication between your brain and balance centers. Understanding the specific cause is crucial for effective treatment.

How to cure vertigo permanently?

While a complete cure depends on the underlying cause, many patients achieve long-term relief through a combination of proper spinal alignment, vestibular rehabilitation exercises, and lifestyle modifications. Consistent chiropractic care, particularly focusing on the upper cervical spine, can help address root causes and prevent the recurrence of symptoms.

How long does vertigo last?

The duration of vertigo episodes varies significantly depending on the cause and individual factors. Episodes can last from a few seconds to several hours or even days. With proper treatment and management, many patients experience shorter episodes and reduced frequency of occurrence over time.

How to tell which ear is causing vertigo?

Determining which ear is affected often requires professional evaluation through specific diagnostic tests and maneuvers. Symptoms like stronger dizziness when lying on one side, hearing changes in a particular ear, or more intense spinning sensations when turning your head in certain directions can provide clues about which ear might be involved.

What does vertigo feel like?

Vertigo typically creates a sensation of spinning or tilting, as if you or your surroundings are moving when they’re actually still. Many people experience associated symptoms like nausea, balance problems, headaches, or difficulty focusing their vision. The intensity can range from mild disorientation to severe spinning that affects daily activities.
