VERTIGO, DIZZINESS, and CHIROPRACTIC

I have been working with two cases of VERTIGO this week. One woman in her late thirties had been using a cane for two weeks because vertigo made her unable to walk safely. She also was having associated headaches and nausea. She was “miserable.”

The other woman in her late 70s had spins and nausea with changing positions and even turning her head, called BPPV…. for multiple days.

THEY BOTH GOT BETTER WITH CHIROPRACTIC! (Epley Maneuver included.)

Patient 1 has not used her cane since her first adjustment. She reports that vertigo is not interrupting her daily “to-do’s” anymore.

Patient 2 has been able to return to her normal movements and activities with minimal discomfort.

What causes vertigo and dizziness?

There can be multiple causes… loose crystals in the inner ear, a virus, nerve inflammation/irritation, TMJ… Regardless of the cause, CHIROPRACTIC HELPS by restoring normal range of motion of the upper cervical joints, influencing movement of inner ear crystals, and/or decreasing pressure on cranial and cervical nerves related to balance and spacial awareness.

Do you or someone you know suffer from vertigo or dizziness? Please refer them to me for helpful, compassionate, and effective chiropractic care! Or at least forward this email to your friends to spread the knowledge.

In health,

Dr. Audrey

Chiropractic is a great way to heal from trauma: PTSD, physical/sexual abuse, domestic violence, birth trauma... All that trauma is stored in your physical body and in your nervous system.

The gentle approach of bodywork here at YOGObody Chiropractic helps your body DESENSITIZE, which allows you to accept healthy touch without that trauma response of tightening up. It also stimulates your parasympathetic nervous system, which is the part of your nervous system that helps you rest, digest, and be at ease.

Most women with low back pain have dysfunction in their pelvis (there is more movement between pelvic bones in order to expand to birth a baby.) Most men with low back pain have dysfunction in their lumbar spine (because the male pelvis is more rigid.)

It is important to tell your chiropractor if you were born male or female. There is no judgement and everyone is welcome. The information is useful in the assessment of your issues so that you can receive the best chiropractic care possible.

We sit and look down a lot... these are "flexion" postures. Think of the fetal position; being curled in. The Superman exercise is the opposite: it emphasizes our extension muscles. It improves posture, muscle balance, mood, and confidence!

Is your pillow causing your neck pain?
Before you blame your pillow, answer these questions…

1. Are you waking up with neck pain?

Patients will often come in with neck pain and say to me, “I think it’s my pillow,” or, “I think I slept weird,” or, “I didn’t do anything to hurt myself, so it must be how I’m sleeping.”

If you don’t have pain first thing in the morning, your sleeping arrangement is likely not to blame.

2. When laying on your back, is your chin tucked in? When laying on your side, is your head tilted up?

We ideally maintain a neutral posture while sleeping, which means our head should be straight and our neck relaxed. If your pillow is too big, it can push your head up while laying on your back, and tilt your head while side lying.

When in doubt, try a smaller pillow or take out some stuffing.
