Understanding Vertigo
What is Vertigo?
Vertigo is a sensation of spinning, dizziness, or imbalance, often described as feeling like the room is moving around you. It can be triggered by issues with the inner ear, brain, or nervous system. Vertigo is a symptom rather than a condition, and it is commonly associated with disorders affecting the inner ear or vestibular system, which controls balance. Vertigo episodes can range from mild dizziness to severe, debilitating spinning sensations that affect daily activities.
Common Causes of Vertigo
- Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV): The most common cause of vertigo, BPPV occurs when small crystals in the inner ear become dislodged, disrupting balance.
- Inner Ear Infections (Labyrinthitis or Vestibular Neuritis): Inflammation or infections of the inner ear can lead to dizziness and vertigo.
- Meniere’s Disease: A disorder of the inner ear that causes vertigo, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), hearing loss, and a feeling of fullness in the ear.
- Migraines: Vestibular migraines can cause episodes of vertigo, often without headache.
- Head Trauma or Injury: Concussions or head injuries can disrupt the vestibular system, leading to vertigo.
- Cervicogenic Vertigo: Vertigo caused by issues in the cervical spine (neck), such as misalignments or muscle tension.
Recognizing the Symptoms
- Dizziness or Spinning Sensation: The most common symptom of vertigo is a feeling that either you or your surroundings are spinning or moving.
- Balance Problems: Difficulty maintaining balance, which can lead to unsteadiness or difficulty walking.
- Nausea or Vomiting: Severe vertigo can cause nausea or vomiting due to the sensation of spinning.
- Headaches: Some forms of vertigo, such as vestibular migraines, are accompanied by headaches or migraine-like symptoms.
- Hearing Loss or Tinnitus: In some cases, vertigo may be accompanied by hearing loss or ringing in the ears, particularly with Meniere’s disease.
- Blurred Vision or Eye Movements (Nystagmus): Involuntary eye movements may occur during episodes of vertigo, contributing to dizziness or imbalance.
Medical Treatment for Vertigo at Prestige Health and Wellness
At Prestige Health and Wellness, we offer a comprehensive approach to treating vertigo, focusing on relieving symptoms, improving balance, and addressing the underlying cause of the condition. Our treatments are customized based on the type and severity of your vertigo.
Chiropractic Care
- Cervical Spine Adjustments: Gentle adjustments to the neck and upper spine to correct misalignments that may contribute to vertigo, especially in cases of cervicogenic vertigo.
- Joint Mobilization: Techniques to improve mobility and reduce stiffness in the cervical spine, which can alleviate pressure on the vestibular system and reduce dizziness.
- Soft Tissue Therapy: Targeting muscle tension in the neck and upper back to relieve stress on the vestibular system and promote healing.
Physical Therapy
- Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT): A specialized form of physical therapy designed to improve balance and reduce dizziness by retraining the brain to compensate for inner ear issues.
- Balance and Stability Exercises: Exercises to improve coordination and balance, helping to reduce unsteadiness and prevent falls during vertigo episodes.
- Epley Maneuver (for BPPV): A repositioning technique that helps move dislodged crystals in the inner ear back to their proper position, relieving symptoms of BPPV.
- Postural Correction: Exercises to improve posture and alignment, reducing pressure on the neck and spine and helping to prevent further episodes of vertigo.
Additional Medical Services
- Cold Laser Therapy: Using light therapy to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and promote healing in the cervical spine and vestibular system.
- Massage Therapy: Promoting circulation and reducing muscle tension around the neck and upper back to support recovery and reduce symptoms.
- Acupuncture: Targeting specific acupuncture points to relieve dizziness, improve balance, and reduce symptoms of vertigo.
