Vertigo: The Brainstem Link

Head and neck injuries, such as whiplash, concussions, or even minor falls, can cause misalignments in the upper cervical spine, known as upper cervical subluxations. These misalignments can disrupt the normal function of the brainstem and vestibular system, which play a critical role in balance and spatial orientation. When the atlas (C1) or axis (C2) vertebra shifts out of alignment, it can put pressure on nerves and blood flow to the brain, leading to dizziness, disorientation, and vertigo. Upper cervical chiropractic care focuses on gently realigning these vertebrae, helping to restore proper nervous system function and providing lasting relief from vertigo symptoms.

Upper Cervical Chiropractic & Vertigo

Upper cervical chiropractic care utilizes the latest diagnostic technology, including digital X-rays, and infrared thermography, to precisely detect upper cervical subluxations that may be the root cause of vertigo. These advanced imaging techniques allow chiropractors to identify misalignments in the atlas (C1) and axis (C2) vertebrae that can disrupt brainstem function and vestibular system balance. By using gentle, precise adjustments to restore proper spinal alignment, upper cervical chiropractic helps relieve pressure on the nervous system, improving communication between the brain and body. As a result, many vertigo patients experience lasting relief without the need for medication or invasive procedures.

Clinical supplements harness the power of natural ingredients to effectively reduce inflammation in the body. By incorporating plant-based extracts, essential fatty acids, and antioxidants, these supplements work synergistically to support the body's natural healing processes. Ingredients like turmeric, ginger, and omega-3 fatty acids are known for their-inflammatory properties, helping to alleviate discomfort and promote overall wellness. With a focus on quality and efficacy, clinical supplements provide a holistic approach to managing inflammation naturally.

Clinical massage therapy is an effective approach to reducing muscle tension in the cervical spine, which can often lead to discomfort and restricted movement. By applying targeted pressure and techniques, massage therapists can release tight muscles, allowing for improved blood flow to the area. This increased circulation not only helps to alleviate pain but also promotes healing by delivering essential nutrients and oxygen to the affected tissues. As a result, patients with vertigo can experience a improvements in symptoms of vertigo.
