In 2019, Miss South Africa won the Miss Universe. Zuzbini Tunzi spoke about leadership, true beauty, and women empowerment during the pageant’s question-and-answer segment.
Impressed by her answer, celebrity host and media mogul Oprah Winfrey went on Twitter to congratulate the new beauty queen. In the tweet, Zuzbini got invited to visit a school for girls in South Africa that Oprah fully sponsored.
According to Zuzbini, she almost fainted when she first heard about Oprah’s tweet. She originally wanted to become a morning show host and follow Oprah’s footsteps, one of her women role models.
What the beauty queen experienced is called lightheadedness, a momentary feeling of almost fainting. It can last for a few seconds, but a person can quickly recover after taking a seat to rest.
Unlike Zuzbini, thousands of people need vertigo relief. What they have is a recurring condition that leaves them bewildered and quite helpless. Being lightheaded is not the same as suffering from vertigo.

To better understand this condition, let’s see how the experts define it. According to scientists, vertigo is a symptom that hits when signals reach the brain conflict with the body’s balance system’s information. People who suffer from it experience spinning dizziness. In lightheadedness, one feels weak and almost about to faint, but there is no spinning dizziness.
There are two categories of vertigo causes: central and peripheral. Central causes arise in the brain or the spine, while peripheral causes occur in the inner ear canal.
The central causes of vertigo are:
Peripheral causes include:
Aside from spinning dizziness, the most common symptoms of vertigo include:
Unlike lightheadedness, which can go away after a person sits down and takes a few minutes of rest, a person who needs vertigo relief has to experiment with several methods. Some of the common ways of dealing with this condition include:
People can also get results from an upper cervical chiropractic session. You can get vertigo relief when an upper cervical chiropractor uses techniques to restore the alignment of your atlas (C1 vertebra) and axis bone (C2 vertebra).
Picture the entire spine as a network of electrical currents that provide power to your body. When the top of the spine (the upper cervical spine region) moves out of proper alignment or encounters injury, you can expect disturbance in the network’s current flow. The body’s ability to function properly, including maintaining balance and control, may get weak.
For example, a neck trauma or injury might cause a misalignment in the C1 and C2 bones. One negative effect of such a misalignment is the distortion of signals sent to the brain about a person’s movement or body position. Dizziness sets in because of the signal distortion that passes through the nerves and to the brain.
In the case of a Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), the most common vertigo-causing condition, upper cervical chiropractic also helps. In BPPV, there are crystals in the inner ear that move out of place. These crystals are highly sensitive and can detect sudden gravitational pull changes, including your head and body position. When they move out of their usual place, distortions again occur.
The mislocation of the crystals causes spinning dizziness. Upper cervical chiropractic helps move these crystals back to their proper position by adjusting the upper cervical bones, which then relieves you of dizziness.
In providing vertigo relief, upper cervical chiropractic is safe and all-natural since it does not involve any drugs or chemicals. It is non-invasive since it does not entail any surgery. Moreover, it will not hamper your daily work or personal life because there is no need for downtime after a chiropractic session.
Today, you can empower yourself with information about natural relief for vertigo and other health conditions. If you suffer from vertigo, you can get that much-needed relief immediately. Check our directory for the nearest upper cervical chiropractor in your area.
