Vertigo is a symptom associated with vestibular conditions. It gives people a false sense of movement, making it feel as though the things around them are moving or spinning. This symptom is commonly treated with prescriptions or over-the-counter medications. Unfortunately, this does not deal with the actual root cause of vertigo, making it very likely that the vertigo symptom will return.

Jordan Sparks, a former American Idol star, has had bouts of vertigo. She tweeted that the vertigo prevented her from sleeping for 4 days in a row. She mentioned that she also had the sensation whether she laid down or sat up. Strangely enough, she released a song called Vertigo back in 2009 that focused on the affect that love could have on someone, making them feel dizzy. However, in the case that she tweeted about, love had nothing to do with it. Instead, it was related to an inner ear infection that caused vertigo.

Proper Spinal Alignment Alleviates Vertigo

There is recorded evidence that vertigo often happens following an injury or trauma to the head or neck. The reason for this is because the bones of the upper neck shift out of alignment, thereby inhibiting the vestibular system from working properly. This causes distortion in the communication between the brain and body. A misalignment in this area of the body creates compromises in balance and can initiate many other health-related problems, including the spinning experience of vertigo.

At Body Balance Spinal Care, we use modern diagnostic technology to find even the mildest misalignments in the upper cervical spine. Even a slight shift of alignment such as ¼ of a millimeter can be the catalyst for serious issues. Upon locating the misalignment, we are able to correct it by administering a low-force correction to the neck. We don’t need to pop or crack the neck or spine to realign the bones because we use a gentle method called NUCCA that works with the bones, encouraging them to return into place naturally and allowing the body to repair any damage that may have occurred during the subluxation.
