Understanding Vertigo
Vertigo is a sensation of spinning, dizziness, or imbalance that can significantly disrupt your daily life. Often accompanied by nausea, headaches, or loss of balance, vertigo typically originates from issues within the inner ear or problems with the vestibular system, which helps control balance.
Common Causes of Vertigo
- Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV): Caused by small calcium crystals becoming dislodged in the inner ear canals.
- Meniere’s Disease: Characterized by fluid buildup within the inner ear, causing severe episodes of dizziness.
- Vestibular Neuritis: Inflammation of the vestibular nerve, usually following a viral infection.
- Cervical Misalignments: Misalignments in the upper cervical spine can disrupt nerve signals, leading to vertigo.
How Upper Cervical Chiropractic Addresses Vertigo
Upper cervical chiropractic focuses specifically on the upper two bones of your spine—the atlas and axis. These bones protect critical nerve pathways between your brain and the rest of your body. When these bones become misaligned due to injury, stress, or poor posture, they can disrupt normal nerve function and communication between your brain and inner ear, triggering vertigo.
The Upper Cervical Chiropractic Process
At Wave Upper Cervical Chiropractic, we utilize precise diagnostic techniques to identify and correct these misalignments:
- Detailed Assessment: Comprehensive evaluation including posture analysis, spinal imaging, and neurological assessments.
- Gentle Adjustments: Non-invasive, precise adjustments targeting the upper cervical spine to restore proper alignment.
- Personalized Treatment Plan: Customized approach based on individual needs, severity of symptoms, and lifestyle.
