Does persistent vertigo leave you feeling dizzy, unstable and exhausted? With over 34 years of experience, our dedicated team of chiropractors is here to address your vertigo symptoms to help you find relief and restore your overall balance.
What causes vertigo?
Vertigo is a sensation of dizziness or spinning, often described as feeling off-balance, as if the environment around you is moving or tilting when it's not. The experience of vertigo can lead to feelings of nausea, vomiting, sweating, and difficulty walking or standing.
It’s estimated that any given year, 1 in 10 people will experience vertigo or dizziness.
Vertigo can be associated with inner ear problems, issues with the central nervous system, or other health conditions. Common causes include:
- Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)
- Infection of the ears, sinuses or vestibular nerve
- Meniere’s disease
- Migraines
- Head or neck injury (including whiplash)
- Medications
