vertigo

Suffering from Vertigo symptoms can be a debilitating condition for anyone at any age. It can affect your ability with normal everyday living and can be a nuisance to manage. It is important to understand that vertigo and dizziness are two difference conditions. Vertigo is defined as the person itself is moving around while its external environment is still. Dizziness is defined as the person is still and the external environment is moving around. 
The most common types of Vertigo are: 

• Benign Paroxysmal Positional vertigo (BPPV)
• Vestibular Neuronitis 
• Meniere’s Disease. 

Symptoms: 

• Ringing in ear (Tinnitus)
• Nausa/Vomiting 
• Nystagmus 
• Headache 
• Sweating 
• Ear pain

Chiropractic Treatment 
BPPV treatment – Epley’s man as shown in the research below – is the best! 
Depending on the causation of your vertigo and dizziness, it may be from a musculoskeletal origin, and this is where chiropractic care can help in reducing your symptoms. 
With a series of spinal adjustments at the cervical (neck) and upper thoracic region (upper back), the aim is to provide and encourage more movement within those regions, and thus placing less pressure on the nerves that affect your ear and balance and may assist in the reduction of your symptoms. In, addition, soft tissue techniques with corrective exercises may also assist.
