Feeling dizzy?
Vertigo is a strong sensation of dizziness that can feel like the environment around you is spinning, or that you yourself are spinning. It can be a devastating and debilitating sensation. The feeling of instability can make you nauseous, bring you to tears, and cause vomiting in some cases, leaving you feeling scared and desperate.
What can cause this?
There are many different factors.
First it is important to understand a bit more about your nervous system. Fundamentally, your brain is always searching to keep you body safe from harm. It does this by receiving feedback from different parts of the body. You ears, eyes, and cervical spine all communicate with your brain to tell it where your head is, in respect to your body, and where is your head/body in respect to your environment. When your brain knows where your head and body are, it can respond and react accordingly to your external environment to keep you safe. When these 3 parts for your body (eyes, ears, neck) are not aligned in their communication, your brain gets “confused” and you experience the unfortunate sensation of vertigo.
How can we resolve vertigo?
It depends on the cause. Once we determine the cause or causes, we create a plan to heal and prevent reoccurrence. We work with the cervical spine and with the ear.
The cervical spine:
The most common cause is the cervical spine being misaligned. Dysfunction of the cervical proprioception because of various neck problems can alter orientation in space and cause a sensation of disequilibrium. The underlying cause of cervicogenic dizziness can come from muscular tension, joint dysfunction, or in most cases a combination of both.
The inner ear:
In the case of the ear, it is called Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo or BPPV. is due to the movement of crystals around the inner-ear. These crystals are from your otolith organs and make you sensitive to gravity. They can shift out of the organ and into other parts of the vestibular labyrinth, altering your center of balance and briefly making you feel dizzy. This can be diagnosed easily in our studio using the dix hallpike test.
To help rectify BPPV, your chiropractor may use the Epley maneuver, which places your head into different positions to reposition the crystals inside the inner ear. When this maneuver is done correctly, it should only take 1-2 times on average.

Daniele Papalia2024-03-07Dopo tanti anni di dolori costanti alla schiena ho deciso di provare questo studio. Oltre ad essere una persona fantastica, Andrew mi ha dato sollievo fin dal primo trattamento. A seguito del primo appuntamento sono uscito con un "programma di rientro" preciso, nel quale sono stati condivisi anche gli obiettivi da raggiungere passo passo. Trattamenti precisi e risolutivi, il tutto condito dalla grande disponibilità e dalla spiegazione di ogni trattamento e dei principi base della terapia. Morale della favola: dopo di me è andato anche qualche amico e tutti sono rimasti molto soddisfatti. Thanks guys!Trustindex verifica che la fonte originale della recensione sia Google.

estie martin2023-11-20I have been seeing Tanya for over a year now. I went mainly to address neck and back pain from, but she has and continues to help me resolve underlying issues that I wasn't even aware were there. We have been working on correcting TMJ, working on managing stress, and building strength to name just a few things. Of all of the years where I have been seeing chiropractors and physical therapist I can say Tanya and Andrew are by far some of the best.Trustindex verifica che la fonte originale della recensione sia Google.

Jessica Dhaliwal2023-11-02It's so refreshing how genuine they are in caring for people's health. Memorable experience at their office in Turin. I also never believed in chiropractic treatment until I experienced the treatment at optimal living and one of their recommendation in White Rock after a car accident.
