Understanding Vertigo
Vertigo is a condition that causes a sensation of spinning or dizziness, even when you’re standing still. It often stems from issues in the inner ear, where balance is controlled, or from dysfunctions in the nervous system. Common causes of vertigo include:

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo
BPPV is a common type of vertigo caused by tiny calcium particles moving in the inner ear canals, leading to dizziness and imbalance.

Inner Ear Infections or Inflammation
Conditions such as labyrinthitis or vestibular neuritis can disrupt the inner ear’s balance mechanisms.

Cervicogenic Vertigo
This occurs when misalignments or tension in the neck impact the nervous system, leading to vertigo symptoms.

Migraines
Some migraines are accompanied by vertigo, causing dizziness and disorientation.

Head or Neck Injuries
Trauma to the head or neck can disrupt balance signals between the brain and body, resulting in vertigo.

Symptoms of Vertigo
Vertigo symptoms can vary in intensity and duration. Common symptoms include:
- A spinning or whirling sensation
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Loss of balance or coordination
- Nausea or vomiting
- Headaches or pressure in the head
- Difficulty focusing or blurred vision
How We Treat Vertigo at Beacon of Life Chiropractic
At Beacon of Life Chiropractic, we use a combination of advanced therapies and techniques to address the root causes of vertigo and help you achieve lasting relief. Our personalized treatment plans may include:

Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments are a key component of vertigo treatment, especially when vertigo is related to misalignments in the cervical spine. Misalignments in the neck can interfere with the nervous system and disrupt communication between the brain and the vestibular system, leading to dizziness and imbalance.
Our vertigo chiropractors use precise, gentle adjustments to realign the spine and reduce pressure on the nerves. This improves communication between the brain and body, reducing vertigo symptoms and restoring balance.

Epley Maneuver and Vestibular Exercises
For patients with BPPV, a specific technique known as the Epley maneuver can be particularly effective. This series of head and body movements helps reposition the dislodged canaliths (calcium particles) in the inner ear that cause dizziness. By restoring the proper positioning of these particles, the Epley maneuver reduces or eliminates vertigo symptoms associated with BPPV.
In addition to the Epley maneuver, our chiropractors may recommend vestibular exercises designed to improve balance, coordination, and inner ear function. These exercises can help retrain your brain to compensate for balance issues, reducing dizziness and improving stability.

Cervical Spine and Neck Treatment
For vertigo caused by neck issues, such as cervicogenic vertigo or trauma-related vertigo, chiropractic care focuses on correcting misalignments and relieving tension in the cervical spine. Chiropractic adjustments, along with soft tissue techniques like myofascial release and trigger point therapy, generally help reduce tension in the neck and restore proper alignment, easing vertigo symptoms.
By addressing both spinal alignment and muscle tension, chiropractic care can significantly improve symptoms of cervicogenic vertigo and other neck-related dizziness.

Posture Correction and Ergonomic Guidance
Poor posture, especially forward head posture, can strain the neck and contribute to vertigo symptoms. Our chiropractors assess your posture and provide ergonomic recommendations to help you maintain proper alignment in daily activities, such as sitting, standing, and working at a desk. Correcting your posture reduces strain on the cervical spine and helps prevent future episodes of vertigo.
