Vertigo is more than just dizziness. It is the feeling that the room is spinning around you. This can result in balance problems and falls as well as nausea. Let’s take a look at 3 health problems that can cause vertigo and then we will consider a natural solution offered at our practice in Sacramento, California.

• Vestibular Migraine – Because we often associate migraines with head pain, we forget that migraines are a neurovascular condition. That means more is affected than just the head. In the case of a vestibular migraine, vertigo can occur before, during, or after a migraine. Sound and light sensitivity are also common.
• Acoustic Neuroma – This condition involves a growth that is non-cancerous. However, because it is on the vestibular nerve, vertigo, balance issues, and tinnitus result. Hearing loss is also possible. While growth is normally slow, there are rare situations in which the growth occurs rapidly, causing dangerous complications.
• Neurological Causes – A brain hemorrhage, stroke, or conditions such as MS can all cause vertigo. However, in each case there will be numerous other symptoms including things like double vision, facial paralysis, slurred speech, coordination problems, and the like.

Why Seek Upper Cervical Treatment?

At Body Balance Spinal Care, we use the NUCCA technique to treat conditions such as vertigo. Upper cervical chiropractic is all about getting to the real source of many chronic health conditions. For many, that source is a misalignment in the upper cervical spine.

When such a misalignment exists, your brain can no longer send the proper signals back and forth with the rest of the body. When the vestibular system is affected, the result can be vertigo. Advanced imaging and other diagnostic techniques are used to determine if a misalignment exists. Then gentle and specific treatments are tailored to each patient’s needs.
