Vertigo is commonly a result of a problem with the inner ear, and a chiropractor for vertigo in Vancouver WA can help get rid of it. Vertigo is a result of the brain's improper interpretation of signals. These signals include stability, balance, and where the body locates itself within its environment.
Vertigo involves a feeling of whirling or spinning. You might sense that you are turning or the things near you may seem to be moving. Be advised that vertigo is simply a false sensation of movement. Also, you may notice some of these symptoms:
A well known way to care for vertigo is called the Epley Maneuver. This maneuver is only valid if you suffer with BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo). This technique involves a sequence of head movements that aid in realigning misplaced crystals in your inner ear. Take note that this offers only temporary relief. For this reason, many people seek out long-term solutions for vertigo instead.
If you still feel dizzy after doing the Epley manoeuvre by yourself, make an appointment with your healthcare provider or doctor. Upper cervical doctors can help you and discuss other ways to care for you.
Recent studies have shown that vertigo is most often connected to head or neck trauma to the head. In other words, solving the problem at the root is the key to alleviating vertigo long-term.
The C1 and C2 vertebrae act as protective barriers for the delicate brainstem. Unfortunately, sometimes, these vertebrae move out of proper alignment due to a trauma to the neck or head. This trauma may come from a sporting or car accident, a trip and fall, or some other similar incident or injury. The brainstem is the communication pathway between the body and brain. When it is under pressure, it may begin sending wrong signals to the brain. Therefore, this can be one underlying cause of vertigo.
The good news is that upper cervical doctors are trained to find these misalignments and work with their patients to realign them. They do not “pop or crack '' the neck or spine to move these bones back into place. Instead, they use a very gentle method that encourages the natural healing of the bones and return them into their proper positions. Therefore, once appropriately aligned, the correct communication between the body and brain also returns. Vertigo can finally go away for good.
