What You Need to Know About Vertigo

According to Healthline, vertigo is defined as the feeling that you’re moving when you’re not. It’s a common medical complaint and patients who experience vertigo often feel something similar to motion sickness.

The Common Causes of Vertigo

The vast majority of vertigo cases are caused by several conditions:

  • Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is a type of vertigo that occurs when you change the position of your head caused by calcium crystals floating in your ear canal.
  • Meniere’s Disease is an inner ear disorder that can cause problems with your balance and hearing.
  • Acute Peripheral Vestibulopathy (APV) is a condition that causes sudden Vertigo due to inflammation of the inner ear.
  • Cervicogenic Dizziness is dizziness associated with neck pain that occurs during neck movement.

Symptoms can last from a few minutes to a few hours and sometimes vertigo simply goes away. However, there are several chiropractic treatments available for vertigo.

Chiropractic Treatment for Vertigo

There are several chiropractic treatments that can be helpful to Vertigo patients. According to the website Healthfully, studies have shown that chiropractic manipulation has a 90 percent success rate in Treating Cervicogenic Vertigo. Your chiropractor might try positioning maneuvers to keep debris in your inner ear from going into sensitive areas. There are also exercises which target the vestibulocochlear system and can help ease vertigo. Tai chi exercises, which emphasis long, slow movements have also been known to help. Diet and other factors such as cutting down on tobacco and alcohol can help as well.
