Vertigo

Vertigo sufferers know how destabilizing it can be to their daily routine. Vertigo can make it difficult to do any task; even just sitting still can be a challenge when you feel like the world is spinning around you. Most people wouldn’t think to seek chiropractic care for vertigo, but trained chiropractors have been successfully treating vertigo for decades! That’s right; you don’t have to let vertigo control your life anymore.

Common Causes of Vertigo in Sandy Springs

Vertigo is a symptom, not a disease in and of itself. Therefore, finding the underlying cause of vertigo is crucial to treating it effectively. Some of the causes of vertigo we commonly see in Sandy Springs are:

• Spinal Misalignment can affect the central nervous system, which allows the brain to communicate with the body. This can cause brain signals to get crossed or blocked and result in a vertigo sensation.
• BPPV, or Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo, is caused by the buildup of calcium crystals in your inner ear. This buildup can interfere with your sense of balance and cause vertigo.
• Nerve Interference, especially in the upper neck, can cause a feeling of vertigo. This nerve damage is generally caused by an injury or repetitive strain.
• Poor Posture can cause nerve irritation in the spine over time and, in the most severe of cases, can cause the sensation of vertigo. Prolonged bad posture habits are more likely to cause vertigo. 
• Stress can trigger constrictions in the blood vessels of the inner ear, and this is thought by some to be a leading cause of Ménière’s Disease among those genetically inclined.  

Once the cause of your vertigo has been established, then it’s time to move on to the treatment phase.
