Can Vertigo Episodes Stem from a Head Trauma?

Head trauma is a prevalent type of injury. It can be due to varying causes, including car collisions and sports activities like cycling, rugby, ringette, ice hockey. As a practice offering Vancouver vertigo relief, we have worked on thousands of cases that originated in previous head trauma. If you think your chronic vertigo attacks may be a result of a past injury, our discussion below can help shed light on what you can do to ease your symptom.

Head Injury and Vertigo – Tracing the Connection

Case studies prove that injuries like concussions or whiplash have a solid link to vertigo, a debilitating symptom that causes false motions, similar to riding a merry-go-round. Studies and other pieces of evidence explain that it has something to do with the displacement or shifting of the neck bones, C1 and C2.

These two bones supposedly protect the brainstem, the primary connection between the sensory and motor nerves to the brain. Unfortunately, sometimes these bones shift a few millimeters after a head injury or trauma and cause the following problems:

• Poor drainage inside the inner ears 
• Miscommunication between the brain and brainstem
• Impaired brainstem function
• Worse accompanying symptoms

Dr. Joseph Perin

Balanced Living Chiropractic

At the age of 11, Dr. Perin decided he wanted to become a Chiropractor, after receiving beneficial care from a local Doctor to correct his mild Scoliosis symptoms. After graduating from high school, he married the love of his life, started his family, and began actively pursuing his dream. In 2006, he moved his family of 4 to begin his education at LCCW. While in his first quarters of education, he was introduced to the NUCCA technique by a classmate and close friend, and felt that given it’s highly researched background and documented results, it was the technique that would best allow him to restore the body’s balance, alleviate pain, and optimize health.
