How Can Upper Cervical Chiropractic Help Solve Vertigo and Dizziness?
Updated: Jun 6, 2019
Vertigo and dizziness can be debilitating. In this post we outline the successful ways chiropractic treatment can help solve these two issues.
What is Vertigo?
Have you ever wondered “what is vertigo?” The technical definition of vertigo is; “a sensation of whirling and loss of balance, associated particularly with looking down from a great height, or caused by disease affecting the inner ear or the vestibular nerve.” It is a common effect after suffering injury to the upper cervical region of the human body. Vertigo causes range and can sometimes be hard to pinpoint.
The symptoms of vertigo can also vary widely from person to person. From causing dizziness and loss of balance to full on nausea, symptoms can affect us in different ways. Vertigo can be problematic when performing everyday tasks such as working out or playing with children. Due to the sometimes unknown cause and varying symptoms, solutions may also vary. Upper Cervical Chiropractic Adjustments are an option for treating those symptoms.
The Facts
The average human’s head can weigh 10-13 pounds and is supported by the top two upper cervical bones in your neck. These bones can be referred to as the atlas and the axis. When the top bone (atlas) goes out of alignment, the head goes with it, causing the entire body to compensate. When the nervous system is irritated, upper cervical health issues can develop, such as vertigo.
