Dizziness and Chiropractic

It is estimated that 80% of the population has experienced some episode of vertigo in their lifetime.

The most common symptoms of vertigo are the sensation that objects are spinning, instability, hearing loss and tinnitus, pressure and pain in the ear, gait disturbances, double vision, swallowing problems, and intense headache.

Some of the causes that can lead to vertigo are:

Vestibular Neuritis
Otological origin
Infections
Toxic or idiopathic
Traumatic

When you go to the doctor for vertigo, it is common for them to prescribe medication, among which the most common is Serc. But do you know what this medication does?

Easy, it alleviates the vertigo you are experiencing at that moment. But it does not eliminate or cure the cause of your vertigo.

After an accident, whether it’s a car, motorcycle, bicycle, soccer, etc., it is vital to check the cervical spine. Perhaps that neck pain we notice goes away in a few days, but that pain can turn into a subluxation in the cervical vertebrae and, over time (or immediately), lead to vertigo.

If instead of going to the hospital doctor for vertigo, who will prescribe medication and perhaps rehabilitation, you visit a Chiropractor, they can evaluate your spine and correct the possible subluxation, thus preventing future episodes of vertigo, other types of disorders, or diseases.
