Vertigo is a feeling that the world is spinning around you and can result in nausea and vomiting. While a spell may not last very long, at the wrong time—while driving a car or climbing a ladder, as examples—the results can be very dangerous. Vertigo is often connected with the alignment of the neck. In fact, cervical vertigo is the term for dizziness that is caused by turning the head.

Cervical Vertigo Symptoms and Diagnosis

Diagnosing cervical vertigo can often be frustrating because there is really only one primary symptom—vertigo that is caused by moving the neck. A general practitioner will, therefore, see the need to rule out many other conditions that cause vertigo by means of extensive (and expensive) tests and procedures. This stretches out the amount of time that a patient suffers.

Natural Treatment in Orlando, FL

However, at our practice in Orlando, Florida, we use specific x-rays of the upper cervical area to look for the type of misalignment that can cause vertigo. Then very gentle adjustments are administered to correct the misalignment. Following a correction, we encourage patients to rest in our office for 10-15 minutes. This allows the adjustment to set properly and last longer.

The results for you are the need for fewer adjustments and ultimately less cost than seeing a general chiropractor. Plus, there is no popping or cracking which means less chance of soreness after a visit. Adjusting the upper spine can often relieve pressure that causes vertigo and many other symptoms that you may never have connected to a neck injury.

For this reason, we encourage anyone who suffers from vertigo to come and see us at the Orlando Spine Center. Find out just what the NUCCA technique can mean for you and your overall health and wellness.
