Vertigo

If you’ve ever stood up too fast or performed a handstand, you might have felt dizzy temporarily. This is nothing compared to vertigo, the feeling of dizziness combined with the sensation that you are spinning when you are standing perfectly still. This condition makes it hard to go about your everyday life due to feeling sick and nauseous. Dr. Jay McClanahan of Dr. J Chiropractic & Wellness Center in Nitro, WV, offers treatment for vertigo.

Vertigo is the result of the way your brain and inner ear communicate. As mentioned, the main symptoms are dizziness with the sensation of spinning. Other symptoms include:

-Nausea
-Difficulties balancing
-Headaches
-Tinnitus
-Sweating

This condition is common with patients suffering from some sort of neck or head trauma. Other times it’s caused by damage to the inner ear, including infections and pressure changes. Chiropractic treatment at our office in Nitro, WV, can help regardless of the cause.

Chiropractic care focuses on your body as a whole, not just your symptoms. By keeping your body in harmony and working at it’s best, you live a healthier and happier life. Different types of chiropractic manipulations and exercises are available. Cervical vertigo occurs after an injury to the neck. The joints are moved out of place, creating confusion between your body and brain that results in dizziness. Chiropractic manipulation to the cervical vertebrae reconnects the neural pathways in the spine.

Another treatment possibility focuses on readjusting your head into certain positions. This helps realign parts of the ear that have moved out of place. Talk to your Nitro, WV, chiropractor about what treatments would work best for you.
