What Is Vertigo?
Vertigo is a condition classified by a sensation of imbalance and dizziness. Many people report a severe disorienting spinning sensation. Various underlying causes can trigger vertigo, such as:
- Trauma or Injury: Head and neck injuries, including concussions, cause misalignment and nerve interference at the Craniocervical Junction (CCJ), which may trigger vertigo.
- Cervical Spinal Misalignment: This can result from degenerative diseases or age-related issues. This misalignment can lead to the impediment of nerve signals, blood flow to the brain, and disruption of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) motion, which may lead to symptoms of vertigo.
- Inner Ear Issues: Ranging from Meniere's disease to labyrinthitis, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPV), and ear infections, can cause people to experience various vertigo symptoms.
What Are the Symptoms of Vertigo?
While dizziness is the main symptom of vertigo, it is often accompanied by other symptoms as well. These symptoms can range from mild to severe and may include:
- Problems with eye focusing
- Loss of balance
- Nausea
- Ringing in the ears
- Unexplained sweating
A spinning sensation typically accompanies the symptoms, which may prevent you from driving or other everyday activities. If you have a sudden onset of symptoms, go to the Emergency Room to rule out a life-threatening situation. If you are not diagnosed with a critical condition, seek treatment immediately from Dr. Michlin so he can resolve your issue and provide relief.
Vertigo Treatment with Atlas Orthogonal
Vertigo symptoms may be related to the inner ear or neck. Dr. Chris Michlin will be able to diagnose and treat the root cause that may be triggering the symptoms. Specific chiropractic adjustments correct misaligned vertebrae, reduce nerve irritation, and improve brain and body communication.
At Back To Health Family Chiropractic, Dr. Michlin specializes in utilizing Atlas Orthogonal to provide precise, gentle adjustments that are focused specifically on the topmost vertebra, the Atlas (C1). This effective technique offers hope for relieving vertigo and other issues. Realigning the Atlas helps regulate balance, restore nerve function, and promote communication between the brain and the body via the nervous system, ultimately reducing symptoms. Atlas Orthogonal is a preferred approach by our team due to its non-invasive nature and ability to provide lasting long-term relief to vertigo and other balance issues.
Dr. Michlin also treats the full spine with chiropractic adjusting techniques including Palmer Package, Thompson Drop, Cox Flexion/Distraction, Activator Methods, SOT, Webster’s Technique, and Gonstead X-ray analysis. In addition to chiropractic adjustments, Dr. Michlin may recommend nutritional supplementation and lifestyle changes. With the help of our chiropractor, you can improve your overall health and reduce the frequency and severity of vertigo symptoms.
