Vertigo & Dizziness

Vertigo is the feeling that you or the room around you is spinning. It can come with nausea, unsteadiness and trouble with balance. One of the most common causes is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), which happens when tiny crystals in the inner ear move out of place and trigger dizziness with certain head movements.

Dizziness can also be linked to problems in the neck, known as cervicogenic dizziness, often alongside neck pain, stiffness or a past whiplash injury.

Our Chiropractors Will

• Perform a thorough examination of your neck, balance and head movements to help find the source of your symptoms.

• Use gentle adjustments, soft-tissue work and, when appropriate, repositioning maneuvers for BPPV.

• Prescribe home exercises and refer you to a medical provider if your symptoms suggest another cause.

If dizziness comes with a sudden severe headache, chest pain, trouble speaking, weakness or numbness, call 911 right away.
