Text Neck, also referred to as tech neck, is overuse syndrome resulting from excessive strain on the neck from looking down at mobile handheld devices. This leads to headaches, neck and shoulder and arm pain, and breathing compromise.

Symptoms of Text Neck:
-Stiff neck: soreness and difficulty in moving the neck is usually present when trying to move the neck after long usages\
-Pain: can be localized to one spot or may be diffused over an area, usually lower part of the neck. Can be described as dull aching or can also be sharp or stabbing in extreme cases
-Radiating pain: there can often be radiation of pain into the shoulders and arms.
-Muscular weakness: shoulders muscles namely, trapezius, rhomboids and shoulder external rotators are often weak
-Headache: sub-occipital muscle tightness can lead to tension type headaches.

In addition to these common symptoms there can also be:
-Flattening of thoracic kyphosis
-Early onset arthritis
-Spinal degeneration
-Disc compression
-Muscle weakness
-Loss of lung capacity

Forward head dramatically increases the weight of the head on the spine, and the effect and amount of weight are powerfully and incrementally enhanced by varying degrees.
An average of cervical spine angle in flexion when texting is 37 to 47 degrees.
A study has shown that head weight increases to 18.14 kg at 30 degrees and 22.23 kg at 45 degrees, and this can lead to inflammation of the ligaments, muscles, and nerves in the neck, resulting in permanent arthritic damage with increased curvature of the spine.
A concern with children was raised due to their larger heads in relation to their body size than adults, thus they have an increased risk of potential damage on neck caused by text neck.

Management of Text Neck:
-Avoid excessive usage and take frequent breaks
-Avoid prolonged static postures.
-Position the device such that it reduces stresses both on the head/neck and the upper extremities
-Avoid high repetitions of movements such as prolonged typing or swiping
-Avoid holding large or heavy devices in one hand for long duration

Text Neck and Chiropractic Care:
Untreated text neck may result in spinal misalignment. Your chiropractor can offer treatment through spinal manipulations, stretches, and exercises to relieve pain and misalignments as well as strengthen weakened muscles

Also referred to as TECH NECK, this is a terrible thing plaguing the country these days. Anyone with a phone, TV, Computer, or gaming device knows about this problem to some degree. I have hundreds of examples and stories I could share and anyone suffering from headaches, shoulder tension, upper back pain, neck pain, tingling or numbness into arms and hands take notice. Put the phones down, shut off the screens, get outside and start living life to its fullest. We are here to help with adjustments, exercises and stretches to help you overcome this debilitating addiction with devices once and for all!

Condition of the Week

***Migraines***

A migraine is a headache that can cause severe throbbing pain or a pulsing sensation, usually on one side of the head. It's often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and extreme sensitivity to light and sound.

Migraines can progress through four stages:

-Prodrome: a day or two before a migraine, subtle changes that may warn of an oncoming migraine: constipation, mood changes, from depression to euphoria, food cravings, neck stiffness, increased urination, fluid retention, and frequent yawning

-Aura: Auras are reversible symptoms of the nervous system. Examples of migraine auras include: Visual phenomena, such as seeing various shapes, bright spots or flashes of light, Vision loss, Pins and needles sensations in an arm or leg, Weakness or numbness in the face or one side of the body, or Difficulty speaking

-Attack: A migraine usually lasts from 4 to 72 hours if untreated. During a migraine, you might have: Pain usually on one side of your head, but often on both sides, Pain that throbs or pulses, Sensitivity to light, sound, and sometimes smell and touch, or Nausea and vomiting.

-Post-drome: After a migraine attack, you might feel drained, confused and washed out for up to a day. Some people report feeling elated. Sudden head movement might bring on the pain again briefly.

Causes of Migraines:

Though migraine causes aren't fully understood, genetics and environmental factors appear to play a role.
Changes in the brainstem and its interactions with the trigeminal nerve, a major pain pathway, might be involved. So might imbalances in brain chemicals — including serotonin, which helps regulate pain in your nervous system.
Researchers are studying the role of serotonin in migraines. Other neurotransmitters play a role in the pain of migraine, including calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP).

Migraine Triggers:

-Hormonal changes in women. Fluctuations in estrogen, such as before or during menstrual periods, pregnancy and menopause, seem to trigger headaches in many women. Hormonal medications, such as oral contraceptives, also can worsen migraines. Some women, however, find that their migraines occur less often when taking these medications.

-Drinks. These include alcohol, especially wine, and too much caffeine, such as coffee.

-Stress. Stress at work or home can cause migraines.

-Sensory stimuli. Bright or flashing lights can induce migraines, as can loud sounds. Strong smells — such as perfume, paint thinner, secondhand smoke and others — trigger migraines in some people.

-Sleep changes. Missing sleep or getting too much sleep can trigger migraines in some people.

-Physical factors. Intense physical exertion, including s*xual activity, might provoke migraines.

-Weather changes. A change of weather or barometric pressure can prompt a migraine.

-Medications. Oral contraceptives and vasodilators, such as nitroglycerin, can aggravate migraines.

-Foods. Aged cheeses and salty and processed foods might trigger migraines. So might skipping meals.

-Food additives. These include the sweetener aspartame and the preservative monosodium glutamate (MSG), found in many foods.

Several factors make you more prone to having migraines, including:

-Family history. If you have a family member with migraines, then you have a good chance of developing them too.

-Age. Migraines can begin at any age, though the first often occurs during adolescence. Migraines tend to peak during your 30s, and gradually become less severe and less frequent in the following decades.

-S*x. Women are three times more likely than men to have migraines.

-Hormonal changes. For women who have migraines, headaches might begin just before or shortly after onset of menstruation. They might also change during pregnancy or menopause. Migraines generally improve after menopause.

Chiropractic and Migraines:
Chiropractic adjustments can help with acute and chronic neck discomfort, reducing the number of headaches – whether they are migraines or tension headaches.
The chiropractor will modify the position of the patient's spine using targeted methods to enhance spinal function and relieve nervous system tension. This helps the body function properly, lowering the chance of stress and tension building up until headache pain occurs.

*** Degenerative disc disease***

What is degenerative disk disease?
Degenerative disk disease is when your spinal disks wear down. Spinal disks are rubbery cushions between your vertebrae (bones in your spinal column). They act as shock absorbers and help you move, bend and twist comfortably. Everyone’s spinal disks degenerate over time and is a normal part of aging. When the cushions wear away, the bones can start to rub together. This contact can cause pain and other problems, such as:
Adult scoliosis, where the spine curves.
Herniated disk, also called a bulged, slipped or ruptured disk.
Spinal stenosis, when the spaces around your spine narrow.
Spondylolisthesis, when vertebrae move in and out of place.
How common is intervertebral disk degeneration?
Almost everyone has some disk degeneration after age 40, even if they don’t develop symptoms. It can lead to back pain in about 5% of adults.
Who might get degenerative disk disease?
Degenerative disk disease is most common in older adults. Some factors increase your risk of developing degenerative disk disease, including:
Acute injuries, such as falling.
Obesity.
Biological s*x, with women being more likely to experience symptoms.
Smoking.
Working a physically demanding job.

What are the symptoms of degenerative disk disease?
The most common symptoms of degenerative disk disease are neck pain and back pain. You may experience pain that:
Comes and goes, lasting for weeks or months at a time.
Leads to numbness or tingling in your arms or legs.
Radiates down your buttocks and lower back.
Worsens with sitting, bending or lifting.
What causes degenerative disk disease?
Spinal disks wear down as a normal part of aging. Especially after age 40, most people experience some disk degeneration. However, not everyone experiences pain.
You might have pain if your spinal disks:
Dry out: Your disks have a soft core that mostly contains water. As you get older, that core naturally loses some water. As a result, disks get thinner and don’t provide as much shock absorption as they used to.
Tear or crack: Minor injuries can lead to small cracks in your spinal disks. These tears are often near nerves. Tears can be painful, even when they are minor. If the outer wall of your spinal disk cracks open, your disk may bulge out of place, known as a herniated disk, which may compress a spinal nerve.
What does degenerative disk pain feel like?
Degenerative disk pain:
Can happen in the neck or lower back.
May extend into the arms and hands or into the butt and legs.
Can be mild, moderate or severe.
May start and stop.
Can get worse after certain activities such as bending, twisting or lifting.
Can get worse over time.

Can I treat degenerative disk disease at home?
Some people find pain relief through at-home remedies. At-home treatments may decrease pain for a short time. But they are not a long-term treatment for severely degenerated disks. You may try:
Exercise: Low-impact activity such as walking or swimming can strengthen back muscles and relieve some pain.
Hot and cold therapy: Alternating ice packs and heating pads every 10 to 15 minutes up to three to four times per day may reduce soreness and inflammation.
Stretching: Gentle yoga and stretching throughout the day may improve posture and relieve tension.

How can I prevent degenerative disk disease?
You can prevent or slow the progression of spinal degeneration through lifestyle changes. Some of these include:
Achieving and maintaining a healthy body weight.
Avoiding or quitting smoking.
Exercising regularly to increase strength and flexibility

How can chiropractic care help with degenerative disc disease?

Chiropractic treatment for degenerative disc disease can reduce inflammation in the spinal tissues, improve the range of motion of the spine, and relieve muscle tension. Chiropractic treatments can also reduce pressure on the spine, specifically the spinal discs, to promote healing.

Condition of the Week

*** Stenosis ***

Spinal stenosis happens when the spaces in the spine narrow and create pressure on the spinal cord and nerve roots.

The narrowing usually occurs over time and involves one or more areas of the spine:
-The spinal ca**l, the hollow space in the center of each vertebrae (bones in the spine that protect the spinal cord); the spinal cord and nerve roots run through the spinal ca**l.
-The ca**ls at the base or roots of nerves branching out from the spinal cord.
-The openings between vertebrae, through which nerves leave the spine and go to other parts of the body.

Anyone can get spinal stenosis; however, the chances of developing the disorder increase with age. Spinal stenosis also can be present in younger people who are born with a narrow spinal ca**l or who have an injury to the spine.

Causes of Spinal Stenosis:
Aging and age related changes in the spine:
-herniated or bulging disc
-spondylolisthesis which is the forward slipping of a vertebrae

Arthritis
-Osteoarthritis: when the tissue in a joint breaks down
-Rheumatoid Arthritis: chronic inflammatory disease affecting mostly the joints

Tumors of the spine: abnormal soft tissue growths that can cause inflammation and growth of tissues on the spinal column

Fractures due to injury or other medical condition: dislocate the spine and spinal ca**l or cause fractures that produce fragments of bone that pe*****te the spinal ca**l

Paget’s Disease: chronic disorder that causes bones to grow larger and become weaker

Ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament: calcium deposits form on the ligament that runs up and down behind the spine, inside the spinal ca**l

Inherited conditions:
-Congenital Stenosis: you are born with a narrow spinal ca**l
-Scoliosis: sideways curvature of the spine
-Achondroplasia: inherited condition that causes problems with bone formation in the bones

The symptoms you experience depend on the location of the narrowing in your spine.

Symptoms of spinal stenosis in the lower back can include:
-Pain in the lower back.
-Burning pain or ache that radiates down the buttocks and into the legs, that typically worsens with standing or walking and gets better with leaning forward (flexion).
-Numbness, tingling, or cramping in the legs and feet. These may become more pronounced during standing or walking.
-Weakness in the legs and feet.

Symptoms of spinal stenosis in the neck may include:
-Neck pain.
-Numbness or tingling that radiates down the arms into the hands.
-Weakness in a hand, arm, or fingers.

Walking, standing, or extending the lumbar area of the spine can cause symptoms to worsen. Sitting or flexing the lower back or neck may relieve symptoms. The flexed position “opens up” the spinal column, enlarging the spaces between vertebrae at the back of the spine.

People with more severe stenosis may have problems with:
-Bowel function.
-Bladder function.
-S*xual function.

Chiropractic is appropriate for spinal stenosis because it corrects and re-aligns dislocated and herniated discs, thus reducing pressure on the spinal cord and its joints and nerve network.

*** Subluxation ***

A joint subluxation is a partial dislocation of the joint. It is often the result of acute injury or repetitive motion injury but can also be caused by medical conditions that undermine the integrity of ligaments.

Symptoms of Subluxation:
-Pain and swelling around the joint
-A sensation of joint instability
-Limited mobility or the loss of range of motion
-Loss of feeling or numbness (usually temporary)
-Bruising

Types of Subluxations:
-Vertebral Subluxation: A vertebral subluxation can occur from poor posture, repetitive movements, or trauma to the spine, such as a fall or severe blow. The subluxation may involve a ligament rupture with or without injury to the vertebra (spinal bones) itself. This type of injury can compress the spinal cord, resulting in shooting pains, referred pain, or loss of nerve function.
Subluxation of the Shoulder
A subluxation of the shoulder means that the ball of your upper arm comes partially out of the socket in your scapula (shoulder blade). Severe injury or trauma is most often the cause of shoulder subluxation.
Subluxation of the Patella
The patella (kneecaps) fits in a groove at the end of the tibia (thigh bone). A subluxation of the patella occurs when the kneecap moves partially out of that groove. Patellar subluxation is the most common knee problem in children and adolescents.
Elbow Subluxation
Elbow subluxations can occur when someone falls onto their hands. Though elbow luxations are typically very painful, subluxations may not be as obvious. The elbow may move perfectly well, although there may be a dull or sharp pain.

Causes of a subluxation most often are some sort of trauma to the joint.
-Blunt force injuries: Including motor vehicle accidents, sports injuries, or a severe fall
-Overuse injuries: Including those associated with medial epicondylitis (golfer's elbow) or patellar tendonitis (jumper's knee)
-Joint hyperextension: An injury that occurs when a joint is hyperextended (extended beyond its normal range of motion)

Chiropractors are trained in a variety of adjustment techniques. Theses adjustments realign joints to their proper position.

A subluxation is a partial dislocation within the body. This dislocation typically occurs in a joint. Many people seek chiropractic care for joint subluxations that are creating serious pain and discomfort. A subluxation can happen to people of all ages. In fact, even children are susceptible to subluxations that result from being picked up or gently pulled by their caregivers. Subluxations can occur in a variety of areas throughout the body

*** Plantar Fasciitis ***

Plantar fasciitis can be caused by a number of factors, including type of shoes, foot structure, overuse and types of walking surfaces. The main symptom of plantar fasciitis is heel pain.

There are several ways that a visit to the chiropractor can help treat plantar fasciitis. Some of the most common treatment methods include:
-A chiropractor can perform adjustments to your feet, ankles, knees, hips, and spine. These adjustments are designed to alleviate pressure on the bottom of your feet, allowing you to relax and heal.
-It is also important to perform stretches on a regular basis to alleviate tension, pressure, and stress on the bottom of your feet. A chiropractor can help you perform specific stretches, exercises, and movements that can help you alleviate aches and pains. This can reduce inflammation in the bottom of your feet, helping to treat plantar fasciitis.
-Finally, the chiropractor can also help you make ergonomic adjustments that shift the weight as you sit or stand over your feet. It might even be helpful for you to wear a splint on your foot at night, alleviating any pressure that could be making your symptoms worse.

KT TAPE is also a great tool to use to relive the pain and discomfort many people experience with Plantar Fasciitis. Taping the foot and lower part of the leg and calf encourages the muscles to relax and repair.
Since plantar fasciitis usually develops from excessive strain, taping can reduce the stress on the plantar fascia and hold it in place. This method can provide short-term pain relief and prevent further damage to the tissue. Furthermore, taping may decrease swelling, giving your plantar fascia time to heal

Stretching is one of the most important things in healing plantar

What is a strain?
A strain is an injury to either a muscle or tendon. Tendons are the tough, fibrous bands of tissue that connect muscle to bone. With a back strain, the muscles and tendons that support the spine are twisted, pulled or torn.

What is a sprain?
A sprain is the stretching or tearing of a ligament. Ligaments are the fibrous bands of tissue that connect two or more bones at a joint and prevent excessive movement of the joint.

What can cause low back strains?
-Twisting or pulling a muscle or tendon
-Improper lifting
-over use after repetitive, prolonged movement

What can cause low back sprains?
-Falling
-Sudden twist
-Blow to the body that forces joint out of normal position

What are risk factors for strains and sprains?
-Curving the lower back excessively
-Being overweight
-Having weak back or abdominal muscles, and/or tight hamstrings (muscles in the back of the thighs)

What are symptoms of low back strains and sprains?
-Pain that gets worse when you move
-Muscle cramping or spasms (sudden uncontrollable muscle contractions)
-Decreased function and/or range of motion of the joint (difficulty walking, bending forward or sideways, or standing straight)

Some people may feel a pop or tear at the time of injury.

How can low back strains and sprains be prevented?
-Eat a healthy, well-balanced diet to keep your bones and muscles strong.
-Maintain a healthy weight. Excess weight puts added stress on the structures of the lower back.
-Exercise regularly, including stretching, to keep your joints flexible and your muscles in good condition.
-Practice safety measures to help prevent falls, such as wearing shoes that fit properly, and keeping stairs and walkways free of clutter.
-Use good body mechanics when sitting, standing and lifting. For example, try to keep your back straight and your shoulders back. When sitting, keep your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Don’t over-reach, and avoid twisting movements. When lifting, bend your knees and use your strong leg muscles to help balance the load.
-Stop smoking. Ni****ne interferes with blood flow to the muscles.

What is treatment options for low back strains and sprains?

A chiropractor can stabilize the area by ensuring the spine is able to support the muscles and ligaments of the lower back by being properly aligned.
Inflammation can be decreased by applying ice
Blood flow can be increased by applying heat

Low back strains fall into two categories: acute and chronic. Acute strains are caused by sudden, jarring impacts during heavy lifting, or excess pressure on the spine. Chronic strains are caused by repetitive movements that gradually overstretch or tear a muscle. It is common in athletes and people who have physically demanding jobs. Chiropractors help to stabilize the spine and ensure that the spine can support the muscles and ligaments. Practicing proper lifting techniques will help prevent a low back strain.

***Gastro-Intestinal***
GASTRO INTESTINAL disease affect the GI tract. There are two types : functional and structural.
Fictional GI diseases: When the GI TRACT looks normal when examined but doesn’t move properly. Functional diseases are most common problems affecting the GI tract such as
- constipation- makes it hard to have a bowel movement, stools are infrequent or incomplete. Usually caused by diet low or lacking in fiber.
- irritable bowel syndrome(IBS)- colon muscle contracts more or less often than normal this can be triggered by certain foods, medicines, and emotional stress.
Structural GI Disease-bowel looks abnormal when examined and doesn’t work properly. Sometimes the structural abnormality needs to be removed by surgery.
-Hemorrhoids- this happens when the veins in the a**l ca**l are dilated caused by excess pressure internally and externally.
-A**l Fissures- these occur when splits and or cracks appear in the lining of the a**l opening.
-Peria**l Abscess- this happens when the a**l glads become blocked and become infected.
-A**l fistula- abnormal tube like passage way
-Peria**l infections- skin glands near the a**s get infected
-Diverticular disease- presence of pouches in the wall of the large intestines usually sigmoid colon
-Polyps and cancer
-Colitis- inflammation of the bowels
Factors that may upset the GI tract and its mobility
-eating a diet low in fiber
- not getting enough exercise
-traveling or changes in routine
-eating large amounts of dairy products
-stress
- resisting the urge to have a bowel movement
-taking antacid medications containing calcium or aluminum
-certain mediations such as antidepressants, iron pills, strong narcotics
-pregnancy

Can GI diseases be prevented?
Many diseases of the colon and re**um can be prevented or minimized by maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Subluxations interfere with nerve functions. This can cause organs to malfunction. Muscle tension in the abdomen can contribute to digestive problems. Chiropractic treatment receives pressure on nerves, joints and muscles.

10/27/2025

Ear infection of the middle ear, is an infection behind the eardrum. The middle ear is the air-filled space behind the eardrum that contains the small bones of the ear.

Signs and symptoms common in children include:
-Ear pain, especially when lying down
-Tugging or pulling at an ear
-Trouble sleeping
-Crying more than usual
-Fussiness
-Trouble hearing or responding to sounds
-Loss of balance
-Fever of 100 F (38 C) or higher
-Drainage of fluid from the ear
-Headache
-Loss of appetite

Common signs and symptoms in adults include:
-Ear pain
-Drainage of fluid from the ear
-Trouble hearing

The cause of ear infection is a virus or bacteria in the middle ear. The infection is usually results from another illness, such as the cold or flu, that causes congestion and swelling of nasal passages, throat, and eustachian tubes.

Conditions of the middle ear that may be related to an ear infection or result in similar middle ear problems include:
-Otitis media with effusion, or swelling and fluid buildup (effusion) in the middle ear without bacterial or viral infection. This may occur because the fluid buildup persists after an ear infection has gotten better. It may also occur because of some dysfunction or noninfectious blockage of the eustachian tubes.
-Chronic otitis media with effusion, occurs when fluid remains in the middle ear and continues to return without bacterial or viral infection. This makes children susceptible to new ear infections and may affect hearing.
-Chronic suppurative otitis media, an ear infection that doesn't go away with the usual treatments. This can lead to a hole in the eardrum.

Risk factors for ear infections include:
-Age. Children between the ages of 6 months and 2 years are more susceptible to ear infections because of the size and shape of their eustachian tubes and because their immune systems are still developing.
-Group child care. Children cared for in group settings are more likely to get colds and ear infections than are children who stay home. The children in group settings are exposed to more infections, such as the common cold.
-Infant feeding. Babies who drink from a bottle, especially while lying down, tend to have more ear infections than do babies who are breast-fed.
-Seasonal factors. Ear infections are most common during the fall and winter. People with seasonal allergies may have a greater risk of ear infections when pollen counts are high.
-Poor air quality. Exposure to to***co smoke or high levels of air pollution can increase the risk of ear infections.
-Cleft palate. Differences in the bone structure and muscles in children who have cleft palates may make it more difficult for the eustachian tube to drain.

The following tips may reduce the risk of developing ear infections:
-Prevent common colds and other illnesses. Teach your children to wash their hands frequently and thoroughly and to not share eating and drinking utensils. Teach your children to cough or sneeze into their elbow. If possible, limit the time your child spends in group child care. A child care setting with fewer children may help. Try to keep your child home from child care or school when ill.
-Avoid secondhand smoke. Make sure that no one smokes in your home. Away from home, stay in smoke-free environments.
-Breast-feed your baby. If possible, breast-feed your baby for at least six months. Breast milk contains antibodies that may offer protection from ear infections.
-If you bottle-feed, hold your baby in an upright position. Avoid propping a bottle in your baby's mouth while he or she is lying down. Don't put bottles in the crib with your baby.
-Talk to your doctor about vaccinations. Ask your doctor about what vaccinations are appropriate for your child. Seasonal flu shots, pneumococcal and other bacterial vaccines may help prevent ear infections

Treatment for Ear Infection:
-Wait and See approach: most of the time ear infections will clear up on their own
-Antibiotics: treatment with antibiotics might be helpful for certain children with ear infections. On the other hand, using antibiotics too often can cause bacteria to become resistant to the medicine.
-Ear Tubes: a surgeon cuts a hole in the eardrum and inserts a small tube to aid in draining fluid.

Chiropractic Care for Ear Infection:
-Correcting misalignment issues and subluxations that may be preventing natural fluid drainage could help to drastically improve ear health and function in a way that treats and prevents childhood ear infections.

10/21/2025

Vertigo is a sensation of motion or spinning often described as dizziness. It is not the same as being light-headed. People with vertigo feel as thought they are actually spinning or moving or that the world is spinning around them.

There are 2 types of Vertigo: peripheral and central
Peripheral Vertigo: a problem in the part of the inner ear that control balance.
Causes:
-Benign positional vertigo (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo: BPPV)
-certain medications that are toxic to the inner ear structure
-head injury
-inflammation of the vestibular nerve (neuritis)
-irritation and swelling of the inner ear (labryinthits)
-Meniere disease
-pressure on the vestibule nerve- usually from a noncancerous tumor
Central Vertigo: problem in the brain usually in the brain stem or cerebellum
Causes:
-Blood vessel disease
-certain drugs
-multiple sclerosis
-seizures (rarely)
-strokes
-tumors (cancerous and noncancerous)
-vestibular migraine

Symptoms of Vertigo:
The main symptom is the sensation that you or the room is moving or spinning. This sensation may cause nausea or vomiting.
Depending on the cause, other symptoms:
-problems focusing the eyes
-dizziness
-hearing loss in one or both ears
-loss of balance that may cause falls
-ringing in the ears
-nausea and vomiting
With central vertigo:
-difficulty swallowing
-double vision
-eye movement problems
-facial paralysis
-slurred speech
-weakness in limbs

Treatment for Vertigo:
-Eply maneuver to help reset the balance organ
-exercises to restore a sense of balance and strengthen the muscles to prevent falls

Complications:
Vertigo may interfere with driving, work, and lifestyle. It can cause falls which leads to injuries.

Chiropractic care for Vertigo:
Chiropractic manipulations return the upper cervical spine and repositions the neck back to the optimal position to reduce dizziness and improve balance and coordination.
