Vertigo
What is Vertigo?
​Vertigo is a common condition that causes a sensation of spinning, dizziness, and imbalance. Unlike general dizziness, vertigo makes you feel as though you or your surroundings are moving when they are not. It can significantly impact daily life, making simple activities difficult.
Common Causes of Vertigo
Several underlying conditions can lead to vertigo and balance disorders, including:
​
-
Inner Ear Disorders – Conditions such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), vestibular neuritis, and Meniere’s disease affect the inner ear’s ability to regulate balance.
-
Cervicogenic Vertigo – Misalignments in the upper cervical spine (neck) can interfere with balance and equilibrium.
-
Central Nervous System Issues – Migraines, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), and disorders affecting the brainstem can contribute to vertigo symptoms.
If you experience persistent dizziness, nausea, unsteadiness, or motion sensitivity, it’s important to seek professional care to identify the root cause.
How Can Upper Cervical Chiropractic Help with Vertigo?
The upper cervical spine (C1 and C2 vertebrae) plays a crucial role in nervous system function and balance. Misalignments in these areas can impact the vestibular system (inner ear and brain connection), leading to chronic vertigo and balance issues. Upper cervical chiropractic care offers a non-invasive, drug-free approach to restoring alignment and relieving symptoms.
Benefits of Upper Cervical Chiropractic for Vertigo:
✔ Restores Proper Nervous System Function – Corrects spinal misalignments affecting balance and coordination.
✔ Enhances Blood Flow – Supports circulation to key brain regions responsible for equilibrium.
✔ Reduces Nerve Irritation – Alleviates tension impacting the vestibular and proprioceptive systems.
✔ Addresses the Root Cause – Focuses on long-term healing instead of just temporary symptom relief.
