Why Vertigo Happens and Where to Find Relief in Cedar Falls, IA

8/6/2017

 
Picture
Vertigo is a spinning sensation. You may feel as if you are spinning or the things around you may appear to be spinning when, in fact, there is no movement at all. You may have experienced this if you have ever stood up too quickly and felt dizzy. However, if it is persistent and accompanied by visual disturbances or sensitivity to light and noise, continue reading to find out more.

Understanding How Balance is Related to Vertigo

Here are some interesting facts about balance:
  • The vestibular system controls balance.
  • After the age of 40, 1 out of every 3 people suffer from vestibular issues.
  • Around 8 million people, 4% of the population, in America have problems with balance.
  • When seeking care for dizziness, a third will be diagnosed with either vertigo or Meniere’s disease.
The vestibular system has the vital job of keeping the body balanced and upright. It sends signals to the brain about how the body is moving and where it is positioned in its environment. The ears are part of the vestibular system, including the ear canals and fluid contained within. If something causes the vestibular system not to work properly, vertigo can be the end result. This can have a negative impact on one’s life and daily routine.

Help for Victims of Vertigo

A connection has been seen between the onset of vertigo and a misalignment in the bones of the upper neck. If you are experiencing vertigo, it is a good time to seek the care of an upper cervical chiropractor. Here at Upper Cervical Cedar Falls, we offer our patients a safe and gentle method to help realign the bones of the neck. A misalignment in this area can place undue pressure on the brainstem and cause the vestibular system to malfunction. By correcting this problem, many of our own patients and those in case studies have seen their vertigo improve or even go away entirely. ​
