Dizziness and Vertigo

Many people experience dizziness and vertigo, feeling as if everything around them is spinning or a general sense of imbalance. These symptoms can be distressing and significantly impact quality of life.

Common causes include hormonal imbalances, low blood pressure, and inner ear issues like benign positional vertigo. While often used interchangeably, dizziness refers to a feeling of faintness or instability, while vertigo is a false sense of movement or rotation, even when still, often accompanied by nausea and balance problems.

Chiropractors are trained in the Epley maneuver to relieve benign positional vertigo and reduce pressure on the cervical spine, helping to restore health and optimal body function.

Types of Dizziness and Symptoms You Might Experience

Dizziness due to decreased blood pressure

Can occur when not enough blood reaches the brain, caused by dehydration or standing up too quickly.

Laberintitis

A type of vertigo caused by a viral infection in the inner ear, typically occurring after a cold or flu. It involves a viral infection in the inner ear.

Postural vertigo

Occurs after head or neck trauma (like whiplash). This type of vertigo is caused by small calcium particles that form inside the ear and disrupt our balance.

Each type of dizziness may have specific symptoms related to its underlying cause. If you experience these symptoms persistently or severely, it’s advisable to consult a healthcare professional or chiropractor for proper diagnosis and care.
