Residents of the country of Luxembourg have a new place to attempt getting a diagnosis of vertigo. The Centre Hospitalier Emile Mayrisch is a vertigo clinic designed to bring together vertigo specialists for the sake of helping patients determine the cause of the issue. This is important as most patients never actually learn what is causing the problem.
Why is an actual diagnosis of the condition causing vertigo important? Why is it so hard for practitioners to discover this underlying cause? What is a common but overlooked issue that leads to false sensation of movement? How can you get natural relief? Let’s address these questions.

It’s tough to care for a problem if you don’t understand the reason behind it. That’s a simple problem. So why is the underlying cause of many cases of vertigo not discovered? The fact is that this symptom may be intermittent. If it happens only a few times per year, the average person won’t even go to the doctor unless a severe bout causes a fall. For others, vertigo clears up before doctors come up with a definitive answer.
So if the spinning sensation goes away, what is the issue? Without identifying the cause, there’s no way to know if vertigo will return. This can leave a person in fear of when the next bout will occur or completely unprepared when it arises.
Doctors recognize that vertigo often begins following a head or neck injury such as a concussion or whiplash. However, few make the connection between the injury and an upper cervical misalignment – a subluxation of the C1 (atlas) vertebra. When this bone misaligns, it can affect blood flow to the brain and communication in the balance system of the body. These factors can lead to vertigo.
Upper cervical chiropractors are helping many vertigo patients to get relief by gently correcting subluxations of the C1. This gives the body the opportunity it needs to heal, and episodes may become less severe. With the underlying problem corrected, vertigo could even resolve entirely and not return.
