If you are tired of conventional ways to get vertigo relief that promise the world and then just stick you with a big bill and a ton of side effects, you are far from alone. This is one of the most common health ailments. People over 40 have to contend with it, and it affects a lot of younger people as well.
Vertigo can be tough to care for properly because most people never even find out the underlying cause of the problem. There are dozens of conditions that can lead to vertigo, some of which stem from the ears and others that are related to the central nervous system (CNS).
With all of these factors in play, where can you turn to for relief? We are going to look at three categories of natural vertigo care. In the last section, we will address upper cervical chiropractic, a natural therapy that has helped many vertigo patients in case studies.
Regardless of the underlying cause of your vertigo, the number one vertigo trigger is stress. That means learning to manage your stress properly can be one of the best ways to reduce how often vertigo occurs. Does it correct the underlying problem? No. However, avoiding triggers can mean fewer bouts of vertigo, which can make the condition more manageable while you are searching for the underlying cause and a way to relieve it.
Many lifestyle changes that are related to vertigo relief are just ways of reducing some of the other common triggers. Once again, that means that these are not a vertigo cure, but they may be able to reduce the frequency and severity of bouts.
These are a few lifestyle changes that may be able to help with your symptoms.
Vertigo is often idiopathic, meaning that the doctor can’t find out why it is happening again and again. One of the most overlooked underlying causes of vertigo is an upper cervical misalignment. There are plenty of cases study that reveal when an upper cervical misalignment exists alongside vertigo that correcting this subluxation can help. Therefore, we encourage all vertigo patients, especially if you don’t know the underlying cause, to seek upper cervical chiropractic care.
An upper cervical misalignment can also be the source of many vertigo causes. For example, upper cervical misalignments have been linked to migraine occurrence, and 40% of migraineurs get vertigo as a symptom. There are also hundreds of patients with Meniere’s disease who saw significant reductions in vertigo severity after misalignments in the top two bones of the neck were corrected.
Upper cervical misalignments are common, especially for persons with a history of head or neck trauma. So if you have ever been in a car accident, suffered a sports injury, or have any other reason to believe that you may have a misalignment, contact a practitioner in your area today.
