Chiropractic Treatment For Vertigo Glendale AZ

Migraines

Have you ever had the sensation that everything around you is shaking or spinning? You may feel off balance or dizzy. Vertigo is not a disease, but a symptom that can occur with a variety of conditions. Vertigo usually lasts for a few seconds to several minutes. However, in severe cases it can last for hours, days, weeks or several months.

There are several conditions that can cause vertigo. These include, but are not limited to inner ear problems, migraines, diabetes, medications, low blood pressure and problems with the central nervous system.

One cause of vertigo that is often overlooked is spinal misalignment (called subluxation) in the neck. The joints and muscles in the neck have receptors that send signals to the brain and inner ear to assist with balance and coordination. When your spine is working properly, these signals are unobstructed, and your brain gets the proper input about your balance. When a subluxation occurs, there can be interference with the communication to your brain and vertigo can occur. This type of vertigo is known as cervicogenic vertigo, also known as cervical vertigo. The dizziness from cervicogenic vertigo frequently occurs from sudden neck movements, most commonly turning your neck.
