Dizziness & Upper Cervical Chiropractic
If you frequently experience dizziness, you are familiar with the unsettling sensations of spinning, lightheadedness, or unsteadiness. Some individuals with dizziness also suffer from nausea, blurred vision, difficulty focusing, or even falls. These symptoms can be disruptive and make daily activities, such as driving or standing up quickly, feel overwhelming.
What Causes Dizziness?
Dizziness, including vertigo and balance issues, can significantly impact daily activities and quality of life. It often stems from disturbances in the inner ear, nervous system, or blood flow to the brain. The upper cervical spine houses critical neural pathways that influence balance, spatial orientation, and blood circulation. When misaligned, these structures can contribute to dizziness and related symptoms.
Common Medical Treatments
Traditional medical treatments for dizziness include medications such as antihistamines, benzodiazepines, or vestibular suppressants to manage symptoms. Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) is often prescribed to retrain the brain’s ability to balance.
In cases where inner ear dysfunction is involved, physical therapy or surgical interventions may be recommended. While these approaches may help manage dizziness, they do not address potential upper cervical misalignments that could be contributing to the problem.
Can an Upper Cervical Correction Help?
Upper cervical chiropractic care focuses on correcting spinal misalignments that may interfere with the nervous system's ability to regulate balance and coordination.
By restoring proper alignment, many patients experience relief from dizziness and improved stability. Maintaining an upper cervical correction is essential for sustained relief, as it allows the nervous system to recalibrate and function optimally.
If dizziness or balance issues are affecting your life, an upper cervical chiropractor can assess whether spinal misalignment is a contributing factor and help restore optimal function.
Align Your Spine!
When the upper cervical spine is misaligned, it can impact the nervous system’s ability to regulate balance and spatial awareness, leading to dizziness and vertigo. Traumas such as whiplash injuries, falls, concussions, or repetitive stress on the neck can contribute to these misalignments.
Correcting and maintaining proper upper cervical alignment can help restore balance and reduce dizziness symptoms naturally.
