Chiropractor & Physical Therapy for Vertigo Treatment in Carrollton, TX
Vertigo is a sensation of dizziness or a feeling that you or your surroundings are moving when they are not. It is a specific type of dizziness that gives the impression of spinning, tilting, or swaying. Vertigo is often associated with balance issues and may be caused by problems in the inner ear, brain, or sensory nerves.
There are two main types of vertigo:
1) Peripheral Vertigo
This type is caused by issues in the inner ear or the vestibular nerve, which controls balance.
Common causes include:
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV): A common condition where small crystals in the inner ear become dislodged and cause brief episodes of vertigo.
Meniere's Disease: A disorder that affects the inner ear and causes episodes of vertigo, hearing loss, and tinnitus (ringing in the ears).
Labyrinthitis or Vestibular Neuritis: Inflammation of the inner ear or the vestibular nerve, usually due to an infection.
2) Central Vertigo
This type is caused by issues in the brain—most often the cerebellum or brainstem—which process balance and spatial orientation.
Symptoms of vertigo can include:
A spinning sensation or feeling of unsteadiness.
Nausea or vomiting.
Trouble maintaining balance.
A sensation of tilting or swaying, even when standing still.
The intensity and duration of vertigo can vary widely. While some people experience brief episodes, others may have prolonged or recurrent symptoms. Treatment depends on the underlying cause, and in many cases, vertigo can be managed effectively with medications, physical therapy (such as vestibular rehabilitation exercises), or specific maneuvers (like the Epley maneuver for BPPV).
How can Chiropractic care and Physical Therapy be helpful for vertigo?
Chiropractors can play a valuable role in managing vertigo, particularly in cases where there is potential contribution from the neck (cervical spine) such as cervicogenic vertigo or if the suspected issue is BPPV. A chiropractor will usually conduct a thorough evaluation, including taking a history of your symptoms and possibly performing diagnostic tests, before deciding on a treatment plan tailored to your needs. If you're considering chiropractic care for vertigo, it's important to seek a chiropractor with experience in treating dizziness and vertigo specifically so they can be systematic about their approach with evaluation and treatment. Physical therapists are able to conduct examinations that are thorough and identify the cauase of the vertigo as well and provide manuevers and exercises that help improve vertigo. There are some physical therapists that specialize in vertigo symptoms. At Elevation, we can typically reduce vertigo symptoms pretty quickly and effectively when they are neck related or a BPPV case.
