Statistics show that 1 out of 10 people suffers from vertigo. Vertigo is the false sense of spinning. Either you or your world is moving or rotating even when there is no actual movement. As chiropractors for vertigo in Vancouver, WA, we’d like to share some facts about vertigo and a natural therapy that has high success in bringing relief for vertigo patients.
Two out of 5 people with migraines experience vertigo symptoms and migraines at the same time. Indeed, you can have vertigo and experience migraine attacks. There is a name for the condition, and it’s called migraine-associated vertigo. Also, vestibular migraines can affect the inner ear, which is responsible for our balance.
Yes, it is true. Before age 40, around 10% of people have vertigo. After age 40, the figure jumps up to 40%! Approximately 1 out of every 3 American adults over the age of 65 falls every year, and issues related to vertigo may be partly to blame.
Many people believe the misconception that once you lose your big toe, your balance will be hindered. This is false as most people who have lost their big toe do not have balance problems, although it changed their stride and gait. What is vital to balance is a healthy, functioning ear. An impairment in the ear can result in vertigo, dizziness, and other types of balance disorders.
Many studies have supported the theory that a misalignment in the bones of the neck has a connection with vertigo. This type of misalignment can impede the vestibulocochlear nerve from its optimum function. This nerve plays a role in the communication between the ear and the brain about the location of the body in its environment. Correcting the vertebral misalignment through a gentle and precise method can provide relief from vertigo. Some patients even report the complete elimination of their vertigo symptoms. Schedule a consultation with Balanced Living to reap the benefits of this unique form of care.
