Tallahassee Chiropractors Alleviate Vertigo For Locals

By James John


Many people in Florida suffer with vertigo. This can be a minor annoyance or a major disruption to one's life. A Tallahassee upper cervical chiropractor concentrates on problems associated with the neck and head, and can help many people that are dealing with dizziness.

Vertigo is caused when the human balance system within the inner ear is disrupted. Many conditions can disrupt this delicate mechanism, including infection, ear disease, BPPV, and problem within the neck. The chiropractic professional must first determine why you are dizzy before you can be helped.

Your chiropractic visit includes a physical exam and may contain a lot of questions. It is important to inform the doctor what activities bring on vertigo. Be sure to mention all the problems you may be having, like nausea or ear ringing. Perhaps moving the head or lying in certain positions makes the room spin. You might have Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo or BPPV.

BPPV can make you feel dizzy when you lie down or get up from bed, or while looking upward. Your inner ear system is very tiny and delicate and contains canals filled with fluid. This fluid is essential for balance function and debris can sometimes become dislodged (by trauma from accident), affecting fluid circulation, making you dizzy.

If your chiropractic professional believes you may have BPPV, you may receive therapy known as the Epley Maneuver. You will lie down while the doctor manipulates your head. This is done in a manner to restore natural balance in the inner ear, and can alleviate positional vertigo.

Vertigo is sometimes difficult to understand and there are many things to consider when dealing with the dizzy patient. Some dizziness is caused by nerve impingement within the neck and chiropractic adjustment can help. If the solution to your problem is not evident, your Tallahassee upper cervical chiropractor may refer you to a qualified physician for care.
