Struggling with Vertigo?

Vertigo can literally turn your life upside down. Many people with vertigo seek out a Doral FL chiropractor and find a great deal of improvement in their condition. It is a condition marked by dizziness, and living with it makes even the simplest functions of day-to-day living a struggle. Many people find it difficult to get information about what exactly is causing their vertigo, and therefore, what the best available treatments are. This article will hopefully help you to understand the common causes of Vertigo as well as explain how chiropractic treatment can help you to find relief.

Vertigo Treatment

Before we get into talking about the causes of vertigo, let’s go over some of the most common symptoms to help you determine if this is what you are dealing with. Two different kinds of dizziness are often assumed to be Vertigo. Sometimes people say that they feel dizzy when they actually mean that they feel like they are going to pass out or faint.

Others say they feel dizzy when they perceive objects around them spinning and moving. Vertigo is a medical term that is used to describe the second situation. It is important to differentiate between the two sensations because each has a different set of causes and appropriate treatments.

Vertigo can range from a small nuisance to an indication of a severe underlying condition. Contrary to popular belief, dizziness is not the only symptom associated with this disorder. Some of the symptoms of vertigo that commonly accompany dizziness are:

  • Blurry vision or difficulty focusing
  • Problems hearing, especially in one ear
  • Ringing ears
  • Trouble maintaining balance
  • Feeling fatigued or tired all the time
  • Double vision

Causes of Vertigo

As we already mentioned, there are a variety of different causes of vertigo. At times it can be caused by a severe underlying issue, therefore, it is of vital importance to be examined by a medical professional if you are experiencing symptoms. The following is a list of some of the most common causes of vertigo:

  • Severe headaches such as migraines or tension headaches
  • Chronic ear aches or damage to the inner ear
  • A lack of blood flow to the brain
  • Car accidents result in damage to the joints and ligaments throughout the spine
  • Misalignments or subluxations of the vertebrae in the neck

As you can see, vertigo commonly starts with issues involving the head, inner ear, and spine. These areas play an important role in how the body orients itself and maintains balance. Vertigo commonly results from a disruption in the signals sent from the nerves of the spine to the brain. When signals that would normally keep us balanced become distorted and scrambled symptoms of dizziness can occur.

Chiropractic care for Vertigo

Chiropractic treatment is a gentle and safe approach to overcoming many of the causes of Vertigo. A chiropractic treatment begins with a thorough evaluation that will determine the exact cause of your vertigo and the most appropriate treatment methods. Many people find that the adjustments they receive from their chiropractor are all that it takes to stabilize the nervous system function and completely cure their vertigo. Call today to consult with a chiropractor in Doral FL today on how you can find relief from your vertigo.

About Optimum Spine

  • Chiropractic care can support people of different ages, lifestyles and stages of life, from those seeking relief or recovering from an injury to those who want to care for their mobility and well-being.

    Certain adjustments or techniques may not be appropriate in situations such as:

    Acute fractures Dislocations or joint instability Active infections affecting bones or joints Tumors or cancer affecting the spine or bone tissue Other medical conditions requiring prior evaluation or clearance

    In these cases, your safety comes first. If chiropractic care is not appropriate for you, we will tell you and guide you on the next step.

  • First, we want to understand what is happening with you.

    We begin with a conversation about your symptoms, health history and what you want to get back to doing or improve. Then we assess your posture, mobility and musculoskeletal function. When clinically indicated, we may request or perform imaging studies such as X-rays.

    This information helps us explain our findings, whether chiropractic care is appropriate for you and the next steps.

    The New Patient Special includes this initial evaluation.

  • In general, a chiropractic adjustment should not be painful. We use instrument-assisted techniques and gentle, controlled manual techniques selected for each patient’s needs, condition and comfort.

    Not everyone receives the same type of adjustment. Before we begin, we explain which technique we will use and why.

    Some people may experience mild, temporary soreness after a session, similar to how they feel after exercise.

  • There is no single frequency for everyone. It depends on your evaluation, your needs and the goals we agree on together.

    After your initial evaluation, we will explain our recommendations. If chiropractic care is appropriate for you, we will develop a plan with a visit frequency suited to your case.

    The plan is reviewed periodically and may change as your needs and progress change.

  • Care should always be adapted to the person and their stage of life.

    During pregnancy, we use specific techniques adapted to the changes in the mother’s body. For babies and children, the evaluation and techniques are also adapted to their age, development and individual needs.

  • Yes. Our doctors and front desk team speak English and Spanish fluently, so you can receive care in whichever language feels most comfortable.

Ready to feel like yourself again?

Every plan is flexible — we adapt to your body, your schedule and your goals. Whether you need relief this week or a long-term plan, we'll walk it with you.
