Finding Balance: How Upper Cervical Adjustments Address Vertigo
Vertigo can make the simple act of standing feel like a challenge. This disorienting condition, which causes the sensation of spinning or swaying even when stationary, significantly impacts daily activities and quality of life.
At Demuth Spinal Care & Concussion Center, we tackle vertigo at its roots with precise upper cervical adjustments. This specialized chiropractic treatment targets the underlying issues that can lead to vertigo, offering a non-invasive path to regaining balance and stability.
Understanding Vertigo and Its Causes
Vertigo is often a symptom of underlying issues affecting the vestibular system in the inner ear, which is responsible for maintaining balance.
However, vertigo can also be caused by problems in the cervical spine, particularly the upper cervical area which consists of the atlas (C1) and axis (C2).
Misalignments here can interfere with the proper function of the nervous system and blood flow to the brain, contributing to vertigo symptoms.
The Role of Upper Cervical Chiropractic in Treating Vertigo
Upper cervical chiropractic care focuses on correcting misalignments in the atlas and axis, ensuring they are properly aligned.
This can have several beneficial effects for individuals suffering from vertigo:
Enhanced Nervous System Communication: Proper alignment of the upper cervical spine facilitates optimal nerve transmission, crucial for maintaining balance.
Improved Blood Flow: Adjustments can enhance blood circulation to the brain, helping to stabilize the vestibular system and alleviate vertigo symptoms.
Reduction of Vertigo Episodes: By addressing the root causes of vertigo linked to spinal misalignments, upper cervical chiropractic care can reduce the frequency and severity of vertigo episodes.
What to Expect During Treatment
Patients experiencing vertigo can expect comprehensive care at Demuth Spinal Care & Concussion Center. Dr. Amanthi Demuth begins with a thorough assessment, including a detailed examination of the cervical spine and possibly imaging studies, to pinpoint specific misalignments.
The treatment plan involves gentle, precise adjustments to the atlas and axis, performed with state-of-the-art techniques designed for maximum effectiveness and patient comfort.
Long-term Benefits of Upper Cervical Adjustments for Vertigo
In addition to immediate relief from vertigo symptoms, regular upper cervical chiropractic care offers long-term benefits:
Prevention of Future Episodes: Maintaining correct spinal alignment can help prevent the recurrence of vertigo.
Overall Health and Well-being: Correct alignment of the spine promotes general health, potentially alleviating other symptoms like headaches and neck pain often associated with vertigo.
Increased Quality of Life: By reducing vertigo symptoms, patients can enjoy an improved quality of life with greater independence and confidence in their daily activities.
