Upper Cervical Chiropractic: A Natural Remedy for Vertigo
Vertigo can be a disorienting and uncomfortable condition, characterized by a sensation of spinning or moving when you are actually still. If you have experienced this condition, you know how it can significantly affect your quality of life, making everyday tasks challenging.
Fortunately, upper cervical chiropractic care offers a natural remedy that has helped many people find relief from vertigo.
Understanding Vertigo
Vertigo is often caused by issues within the inner ear or central nervous system. Commonly, it is associated with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), Meniere's disease, or vestibular neuritis.
These conditions can disrupt the normal balance and spatial orientation cues that the brain uses to determine motion and positioning, leading to the symptoms of vertigo.
The Role of the Upper Cervical Spine
The upper cervical spine, comprising the atlas and axis, plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance and proper functioning of the nervous system.
Misalignments in these top two vertebrae can impact the brainstem and spinal cord, influencing the vestibular system, which is integral to balance.
Adjustments in this area can help correct misalignments and improve the body's natural ability to maintain balance.
How Upper Cervical Chiropractic Helps with Vertigo
Upper cervical chiropractic care focuses on precise and gentle corrections to the alignment of the neck's top two bones. Dr. Amanthi Demuth at Demuth Spinal Care & Concussion Center specializes in these adjustments.
By restoring proper alignment, this specialized chiropractic care can alleviate the pressure on the brainstem and spinal cord, promoting better communication between the brain and the body, and potentially reducing or eliminating the symptoms of vertigo.
Patients with vertigo often find that these adjustments help decrease the frequency and severity of their episodes. The treatment not only aims to reduce symptoms but also addresses the underlying causes of vertigo by ensuring the nervous system functions without interference.
What to Expect from Your Treatment
When you visit Demuth Spinal Care & Concussion Center, the first step will involve a thorough examination, including possibly diagnostic imaging, to pinpoint specific misalignments in the upper cervical area.
Dr. Demuth will then tailor a treatment plan focused on your unique needs.
The adjustments are usually quick and do not involve forceful manipulations. Many patients describe them as gentle and not painful, and they can lead to significant improvements in vertigo symptoms.
The Benefits of Choosing Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care
Choosing upper cervical chiropractic care for vertigo means opting for a non-invasive and drug-free approach. It is a holistic method that not only aims to relieve the symptoms of vertigo but also strives to restore overall spinal health and wellness.
This type of care can also enhance nervous system function, potentially improving other areas of health as well.
Long-Term Relief for Vertigo
For many, the benefits of upper cervical chiropractic care extend beyond immediate relief. Regular care can maintain alignment and help prevent the recurrence of vertigo. Patients often report improved overall balance, increased mobility, and a better quality of life.
