Dizziness and Vertigo Treatment

What is Dizziness and Vertigo?

Dizziness is a broad term describing feelings of unsteadiness, lightheadedness, or disorientation. Vertigo, on the other hand, is a more specific type of dizziness that causes the illusion of movement or spinning, often triggered by inner ear disorders or nervous system dysfunctions.

Common Causes of Dizziness and Vertigo

• Inner Ear Disorders (Vestibular Dysfunction)
• Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
• Meniere’s Disease
• Vestibular Neuritis or Labyrinthitis
• Cervicogenic Vertigo (Neck-Related Dizziness)
• Neurological Causes
• Post-Concussion Syndrome
• Blood Flow Issues
• Medication Side Effects
• Anxiety and Stress

Signs & Symptoms of Dizziness and Vertigo

• Spinning or tilting sensation
• Loss of balance and unsteadiness
• Nausea or vomiting
• Difficulty focusing or feeling disoriented
• Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
• Headaches or neck stiffness

Traditional Medical Approaches to Dizziness & Vertigo

A. Medical Doctors & Neurologists

• MRI or CT scans to rule out severe neurological conditions.
• Anti-nausea medications such as Meclizine to manage symptoms.

B. ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) Specialists

• Balance testing to diagnose inner ear disorders.
• Epley Maneuver for repositioning ear crystals in BPPV cases.

C. Physical Therapy Approach

• Vestibular rehabilitation therapy focuses on eye movement exercises and posture correction.

Our Doctors of Chiropractic Look for Multiple Sites of Nerve Interference: A Hidden Cause of Vertigo & Dizziness.

What is Multi-Site Dizziness?

• Dizziness and vertigo can result from nerve interference at multiple sites.
• People suffering from Vertigo can have nerve interference caused by spinal subluxation, spinal ligament laxity, spinal ligament damage, and inner ear dysfunction. Any of these issues or a combination of these factors could be the root cause of your Vertigo.
