🌀 Feeling dizzy or off balance? Don’t forget to check your neck!

Neck issues like poor posture, tension, or past injuries can affect blood flow and nerve signals, leading to vertigo or dizziness. If your symptoms get worse with head movement or you’ve had neck pain, it might be cervicogenic dizziness.

✅ We can help.
Your neck might be the missing piece to feeling better!

2️⃣ Two things to know about Meniere’s disease:

1. It causes sudden episodes of vertigo, hearing loss, tinnitus, and a feeling of fullness in one ear.

2. It's linked to inner ear fluid buildup. There’s no cure, but diet changes, meds, and therapy can help manage it.

If you're experiencing these symptoms, book an appointment with us, we’re here to help.

🧠 Did you know?
The most common cause of vertigo is BPPV — a condition triggered by tiny crystals moving in your inner ear! 😵‍💫
Risk increases after age 60, but head injuries, migraines, and even stress can play a role too.

🔑 Key points:
• Do everyday balance exercises (ex. one leg while brushing teeth)
• Leg strength is key, do simple strength routines
• Sensory check
• Medication review
• Prioritize home safety (ex. secure rugs, lighting)

For older adults, building balance and strength is key to staying independent especially with conditions like 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐠𝐨, which affects the inner ear and balance. Simple exercises and safety steps can reduce fall risk, improve stability, and help manage vertigo more effectively.

This week Bobbi Conner talks with MUSC's Dr. Kenneth Miller about improving balance and strength in the older adult years.

If you struggle with the spinning sensations of vertigo, you might feel like simple daily activities are a significant challenge. However, don't despair. There are exercises specifically designed to help you regain control and reduce the impact of vertigo on your life. Find out more about these and learn how they can help you work around your situation:

#1. Tai Chi
It’s a low-impact, gentle exercise that improves balance, coordination, and mindfulness. The slow, flowing movements of Tai Chi are perfect for people with vertigo, as they can help improve their body's sense of balance and reduce the frequency and severity of vertigo episodes.
#2. Yoga
Certain yoga poses can also help improve balance and stability, reducing the frequency and intensity of vertigo episodes. Poses like the Tree Pose, Warrior III Pose, and the Half Moon Pose can help improve balance and increase strength in the legs, core, and other muscles.
#3. Walking
Walking is an excellent exercise that improves cardiovascular health and overall balance. Regular walking can also help improve the body's sense of balance, which can help reduce the frequency of vertigo episodes.
#4. Cycling
Cycling whether done stationary or outdoors, is an excellent exercise that helps improve balance, leg strength, and overall fitness. Cycling is also a low-impact exercise, which makes it an excellent choice for people with vertigo.
#5. Stair Stepping
Using a stair stepper machine can help improve leg strength and overall balance, which can help reduce the frequency of vertigo episodes.
#6. Pilates
Pilates is an exercise that focuses on core strength, posture, and body awareness. Practicing Pilates can help improve overall strength and balance, which can help reduce the frequency and severity of vertigo episodes.
#7. Water aerobics
This is another low-impact exercise that is excellent for people with vertigo. The buoyancy of water reduces stress on the joints, making it easier to move around. Water aerobics can also help improve balance and coordination.
#8. Neck stretching
Stretching the neck can help relieve tension and reduce the frequency of vertigo episodes. Neck stretches like the Neck Roll and the Seated Clasping Neck Stretch can help reduce tension and increase flexibility in the neck muscles.
#9. Eye exercises
Certain eye exercises can help improve coordination and reduce dizziness. The Eye Tracking Exercise and the Near-Far Focus Exercise can help improve the body's sense of balance and reduce the frequency and severity of vertigo episodes.
#10. Balance training
Balance training, such as practicing standing on one leg or on an unstable surface like a balance board, can help improve balance and coordination. Practicing these exercises can help the body's sense of balance, reducing the frequency of vertigo episodes.

Completely avoiding screens isn't practical in today's world, but learning to manage screen time can make a big difference.

🌿 Here are some helpful strategies to reduce screen-related discomfort:
🔹 Lower screen brightness to a comfortable level
🔹 Enable dark mode and increase text size
🔹 Follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds
🔹 Keep your screen at eye level to prevent awkward neck positions
🔹 Use blue light filters or anti-glare protectors

If screen use worsens your vestibular symptoms, you're not alone. Reach out to us and book your appointment today!
