Chiropractic For Vertigo

chiropractic care helps patients with vertigo

Vertigo is an underestimated problem that chiropractic care in San Francisco CA or in Walnut Creek CA can help resolve. People who live with vertigo find that it impacts their quality of life on a regular basis. Dizziness, ringing ears, blurry vision, and other symptoms can make basic daily functions difficult. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at how vertigo impacts daily life and how a chiropractic treatment plan at Premier Health Chiropractic can combat some of these symptoms and improve quality of life.


Vertigo Explained

To begin with, let’s establish what vertigo is. It is common for people in San Francisco CA and Walnut Creek CA to understand vertigo as the same as dizziness. This isn’t the case.

When talking about dizziness, people will sometimes mean that they feel like they are about to pass out. Other times, they mean that the room and/or objects in it are moving around them. It can feel like the world is spinning. This second kind of dizziness is the kind associated with vertigo.

This dizziness is not the only symptom, however. Vertigo symptoms also include: ringing ears, blurry vision, hearing problems, ringing ears, difficulty focusing, balance problems, double vision, and regular fatigue.

For some, vertigo is a small problem that occurs occasionally in their lives. For others, it’s a debiliating daily battle. For those along this spectrum, it is a health problem worth finding a treatment plan for.

It can sometimes be difficult to pinpoint the cause of vertigo as there are so many possible health issues that lead to this condition. Vertigo can be a sign of a serious underlying health condition and should always be investigated by a health professional so the cause can be found.

For many people, the cause of vertigo may be damage to their inner ear, problems with blood flow to the brain, severe headaches or migraines, damage from a car accident, or a misalignment of the vertebrae.

What is often happening when vertigo occurs is that the nerves in the spine are sending signals to the brain, as they normally would, but something along the path is causing a problem which leads to a disruption. This is why so many of the causes of vertigo are in the areas around the head, spine, and the inner ear. These areas have many nerves. When the nerves are irritated or damaged, vertigo can be the result.


How Chiropractic Care Can Help Vertigo

When you visit a chiropractor, their first task will be working to discover the cause of your vertigo. They will perform a thorough health evaluation and investigate your symptoms to find their source.

Chiropractic care at Premier Health Chiropractic involves non invasive adjustments to your spinal column. Through gentle adjustments and a thorough treatment plan, many patients find that their vertigo symptoms improve greatly. When the body is properly aligned and issues are addressed, the nerves can once again send uninterrupted signals between the brain and the rest of the body. With the nervous system properly functioning, vertigo is no longer the problem it once was.
