Understanding Vertigo and Dizziness
Feeling unsteady or experiencing sudden bouts of dizziness can be alarming. Whether it’s a spinning sensation (vertigo) or a general feeling of imbalance, these symptoms can disrupt daily life. Many people don’t realize that chiropractic care offers effective, drug-free treatment options for vertigo and dizziness. At Midlands Spine Center in Lexington, SC, Dr. Jason Mubarak provides expert care to help patients regain their balance and improve their quality of life.
Causes of Vertigo and Dizziness
Vertigo and dizziness can stem from several conditions, including:
1. Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
Caused by small calcium particles (canaliths) in the inner ear.
Leads to sudden dizziness with head movements.
2. Cervicogenic Dizziness
Associated with neck injuries or poor posture.
Often caused by misalignment of the cervical spine.
3. Vestibular Dysfunction
Issues with the inner ear, including infections or inflammation.
Can result in balance problems and vertigo.
4. Meniere’s Disease
A chronic inner ear disorder.
Causes episodes of vertigo, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and hearing loss.
5. Post-Concussion Syndrome
After a head injury, the brain’s balance system can be affected.
Leads to dizziness, nausea, and headaches.
How Chiropractic Care Can Help with Vertigo & Dizziness
Many cases of vertigo and dizziness are linked to spinal misalignments, nerve dysfunction, or inner ear disturbances. Chiropractic care can address these issues by:
1. Spinal Adjustments
Realigning the spine, particularly the cervical (neck) region, can improve communication between the nervous system and the vestibular system.
Helps alleviate cervicogenic dizziness and restore balance.
2. The Epley Maneuver
A repositioning technique for BPPV.
Helps move displaced calcium particles in the inner ear back to their proper location.
3. Vestibular Rehabilitation Exercises
Customized balance exercises to retrain the brain and inner ear.
Reduces dizziness and improves stability.
4. Posture Correction & Lifestyle Advice
Poor posture can contribute to dizziness by affecting blood flow and nerve function.
Dr. Mubarak provides recommendations on ergonomics, stretching, and movement habits to prevent recurrences.
5. Soft Tissue Therapy & Massage
Addresses muscle tension in the neck that may contribute to dizziness.
Improves circulation and relieves pressure on nerves.
