Vertigo Care
Vertigo is a condition characterized by a false sense of movement or spinning, often causing dizziness and imbalance. One specific type of vertigo, Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), is particularly common. BPPV occurs when tiny crystals in the inner ear’s semicircular canals become dislodged. These crystals disrupt normal fluid movement, sending false signals to the brain that create the sensation of spinning.
Causes and Symptoms of BPPV
BPPV can result from various factors, such as head trauma, prolonged bed rest, or simply aging. Symptoms include dizziness, a sense of spinning, balance issues, nausea, and sometimes even vomiting. These symptoms can significantly impact daily activities, making even simple movements challenging and distressing.
How Chiropractic Care May Help
Chiropractic care has shown promising results in managing vertigo, especially BPPV. By using specific adjustments and manipulations, our chiropractors can help realign the spine and neck, improving overall nervous system function. These adjustments can alleviate pressure on nerves and improve blood flow, which may reduce vertigo symptoms.
In addition to spinal adjustments, chiropractors often incorporate various rehabilitation protocols. Techniques such as the Epley maneuver and other repositioning exercises help move the dislodged crystals in the inner ear back to their proper position. Combining chiropractic care with these specialized exercises has led to successful outcomes, reducing the severity and frequency of vertigo episodes.
