Vertigo Issues
Do you experience vertigo or dizziness in Los Feliz? At HealthWorks, our doctors frequently encounter patients who seek relief from dizziness, often after trying other healthcare providers with minimal success. Many of these patients report receiving limited information about the cause of their dizziness (vertigo) and the most effective treatments. Reach out to us to learn how chiropractic care can help alleviate your symptoms.
Dizziness can refer to two distinct sensations. Some individuals describe feeling dizzy when they're on the verge of fainting, while others experience dizziness as a sense of spinning or movement around them. The latter is known as vertigo. Distinguishing between the two sensations is crucial, as each has its own set of causes and appropriate treatments. Our HealthWorks doctors can help differentiate between these two sensations.
At HealthWorks, we've seen patients with various causes of vertigo, but some are more prevalent than others. Some of the most common causes of vertigo observed in our clinic include:
Severe headaches, such as migraines or tension headaches, which can create sensations of dizziness and nausea
Chronic earaches or inner ear damage
Insufficient blood flow to the brain
Car accidents resulting in damage to the joints and ligaments throughout the spine
Most commonly, misalignments or subluxations of the vertebrae in the neck
Although these common vertigo causes may appear unrelated, they share a critical factor: each plays a vital role in how the body maintains balance and orientation. When this balance is disrupted, the body functions abnormally. Vertigo often results from an imbalance of nervous system signals reaching the brain. These signals, which usually help us maintain balance, become distorted and scrambled, leading to dizziness. Fortunately, our HealthWorks doctors offer a specialized approach to treatment, focusing on stabilizing nervous system function.
Vertigo can have multiple causes, and dizziness is not the only associated symptom. Vertigo can range from a minor nuisance to a potential sign of a severe underlying condition. If you experience any of the following symptoms, it's essential to schedule a consultation with HealthWorks:
Blurry vision or difficulty focusing
Hearing problems, particularly in one ear
Ringing ears
Trouble maintaining balance
Difficulty concentrating
Persistent fatigue
Unexplained nausea
Newly developed sea-sickness
Slurred speech
Double vision
