Vertigo Treatment

100% Chiropractic for Balance and Dizziness Relief

Whether it’s caused by issues with your inner ear, head trauma, or other underlying health conditions, vertigo can be disruptive and even debilitating. At 100% Chiropractic, our vertigo chiropractors specialize in treating the root causes of this condition, helping to restore balance and alleviate symptoms through non-invasive chiropractic techniques.

What Is Vertigo?

Vertigo is a condition in which you feel as though you or your surroundings are spinning or moving when they aren’t. It’s more than just dizziness; it can cause significant disorientation and imbalance, sometimes accompanied by nausea, headaches, or visual disturbances.

Common symptoms of vertigo include:

  • A spinning sensation (either of yourself or your environment)
  • Imbalance or difficulty standing and walking
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Headaches or migraines
  • Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
  • Blurred vision or difficulty focusing
  • Sweating or a sense of faintness

 

Vertigo may be short-lived or chronic, depending on the underlying cause. For many, it can interfere with work, driving, and basic daily activities.

Common Causes of Vertigo

Vertigo can result from several different underlying conditions, most of which are related to the body’s vestibular system, the part of the inner ear responsible for balance. Some of the most common causes include:

BPPV is the most commonly diagnosed cause of vertigo and occurs when small calcium particles called canaliths become dislodged in the inner ear. These particles disrupt the flow of fluids that control balance, leading to sudden, short episodes of dizziness, especially when changing positions, such as standing up or lying down.
These troublesome conditions are caused by inflammation of the inner ear or the vestibular nerve, which connects the inner ear to the brain. Infections, usually viral, are a common cause of this inflammation, resulting in severe dizziness and balance issues.
Injury to the head or neck, such as from a car accident, can damage the vestibular system or cervical spine, leading to vertigo. Whiplash, for example, often causes misalignments in the cervical spine that affect balance and coordination.
For some, vertigo is associated with migraines, a condition known as vestibular migraines. This type of vertigo can occur without a traditional headache and may be triggered by factors such as stress, bright lights, or certain foods.
Cervicogenic vertigo occurs when vertigo symptoms are caused by issues with the cervical spine (the neck). Misalignments, muscle tension, or nerve irritation in the neck can disrupt signals to the brain, affecting balance and causing dizziness.

How a Chiropractor for Vertigo Can Help

Chiropractic adjustments are a key component of vertigo treatment, especially when vertigo is related to misalignments in the cervical spine. Misalignments in the neck can interfere with the nervous system and disrupt communication between the brain and the vestibular system, leading to dizziness and imbalance.

Our vertigo chiropractors use precise, gentle adjustments to realign the spine and reduce pressure on the nerves. This improves communication between the brain and body, reducing vertigo symptoms and restoring balance.

For patients with BPPV, a specific technique known as the Epley maneuver can be particularly effective. This series of head and body movements helps reposition the dislodged canaliths (calcium particles) in the inner ear that cause dizziness. By restoring the proper positioning of these particles, the Epley maneuver reduces or eliminates vertigo symptoms associated with BPPV.

In addition to the Epley maneuver, our chiropractors may recommend vestibular exercises designed to improve balance, coordination, and inner ear function. These exercises can help retrain your brain to compensate for balance issues, reducing dizziness and improving stability.

For vertigo caused by neck issues, such as cervicogenic vertigo or trauma-related vertigo, chiropractic care focuses on correcting misalignments and relieving tension in the cervical spine. Chiropractic adjustments, along with soft tissue techniques like myofascial release and trigger point therapy, generally help reduce tension in the neck and restore proper alignment, easing vertigo symptoms.

By addressing both spinal alignment and muscle tension, chiropractic care can significantly improve symptoms of cervicogenic vertigo and other neck-related dizziness.

Poor posture, especially forward head posture, can strain the neck and contribute to vertigo symptoms. Our chiropractors assess your posture and provide ergonomic recommendations to help you maintain proper alignment in daily activities, such as sitting, standing, and working at a desk. Correcting your posture reduces strain on the cervical spine and helps prevent future episodes of vertigo.
