Living with vertigo can be downright debilitating, affecting your ability to move, focus, and function normally. It’s not just about feeling dizzy—it can affect your day-to-day life, making it challenging to perform even the simplest tasks, like walking, driving, or concentrating at work.
If you’ve tried other treatments without success, you might not immediately think of chiropractic care as a solution. While many people associate chiropractic with back and neck pain relief, they may not know that it’s also incredibly effective for addressing vertigo.
Dr. Ryan shares how chiropractic was able to help one patient stop the spinning.
From 11 Weeks of Vertigo to Immediate Relief
Imagine suffering from vertigo for 11 weeks, unable to look up, down, or even roll over in bed without feeling disoriented. This was the reality for one of Dr. Ryan’s patients, Kim. After being unable to get an appointment with physical therapy until late October, she was desperate for relief and sought care at our practice.
How Does Chiropractic Help?
Chiropractic care, particularly adjustments to the upper cervical spine, can address the underlying issues contributing to vertigo. “In this case, I adjusted her upper cervical spine, her TMJ, and even did a sinus adjustment,” Dr. Ryan explains. “That combination cleared up 11 weeks of vertigo in just one adjustment.”
Chiropractors focus on realigning the spine, which can relieve pressure on nerves and improve communication within the nervous system. Vertigo often stems from misalignments in the upper neck, which can affect balance and equilibrium. Chiropractic adjustments help restore that balance.
When Other Treatments Don’t Work
Many patients, like Dr. Ryan’s, seek chiropractic care only after trying other options, such as physical therapy or medication. Unfortunately, these treatments don’t always address the root cause of the problem. Chiropractic offers a natural, drug-free approach that can provide relief when other methods fall short.
“When everything else is ruled out—when no one has an answer—the body’s nervous system is the smartest computer on Earth,” says Dr. Ryan. Chiropractic helps tap into that system to bring the body back into balance.
