Chiropractic Care for Vertigo In DC

 Vertigo can be caused by a variety of causes. Chiropractic care may help to treat it. Vertigo can be caused by fluid accumulation in the inner ears. The root cause of this is usually the upper cervical vertebrae. The inner ear is connected to the upper vertebrae via nerves and cannot function normally if the vertebrae are misaligned or blocked. Subluxations of the spine can also cause a blockage or abnormal flow in cerebral spinal fluid. The blockage can eventually lead to a blocked fluid in the inner-ear, which creates the painful pressure manifested as dizziness and nausea, headaches, confusion, and other vertigo symptoms.

You can see that a symptom affecting the head or ears has its roots in the spine and neck. It is for this reason that attempting to treat inner ear problems with pain relief or drainage strategies often fails. Chiropractors treat the problem by determining the cause and treating it. This usually means that chiropractors make adjustments to the upper cervical vertebrae. According to research, chiropractic spinal manipulation can be used for chronic and non-responsive cervicogenic symptoms of dizziness.

Stand Up Straight with a DC Chiropractor

Chiropractors use a variety of techniques to treat vertigo. Your chiropractor will use different adjustment techniques based on your symptoms to remove any blockages causing fluid accumulations which manifest as vertigo. Vertigo is often relieved after only one chiropractic session. This is not a reason for cutting short a chiropractic treatment. It's not always the case that immediate relief means that a problem is fixed. It means that a sufficient realignment was achieved to break up the fluid causing tension. The months or even years of tension caused by misalignment can only be addressed when a complete treatment plan is completed.
