Vertigo and dizziness are complex conditions that vary from person to person. For some, dizziness feels like mild unsteadiness, while for others, it’s as if the entire world is spinning uncontrollably. These symptoms can stem from various causes, and prompt assessment is essential to rule out serious underlying conditions.

• Dizziness: Often described as a sensation of imbalance or the external environment moving abnormally, leading to disorientation or unsteadiness.
• Vertigo: A specific type of dizziness where you experience a spinning sensation, even when stationary. It’s often more intense and can significantly impact daily activities.

Vertigo tends to become more prevalent with age and is more commonly reported in women than men. It is classified into two main types: peripheral vertigo and central vertigo, depending on the underlying cause.

Peripheral vertigo originates from issues in the inner ear or vestibular system, which are critical for balance and spatial orientation. Common causes include:

• Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV): The most frequent form of peripheral vertigo, caused by tiny calcium crystals (otoconia) becoming dislodged in the inner ear, leading to brief episodes of spinning triggered by head movements.
• Meniere’s Disease: A condition involving fluid buildup in the inner ear, often accompanied by tinnitus (ringing in the ears), hearing loss, and vertigo.
• Vestibular Neuritis: Inflammation of the vestibular nerve, typically caused by a viral infection, leading to sudden and severe vertigo.

Symptoms of peripheral vertigo often include imbalance, nausea, vomiting, tinnitus, and ear pain.

Vertigo and dizziness can lead to a range of related symptoms, including:

• Headaches and migraines
• Nausea and vomiting
• Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
• Nystagmus (involuntary eye movements)
• Blurred vision
• Neck pain or stiffness
• Gait changes or difficulty walking
• Ear pain or pressure

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s crucial to seek professional care to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment.

Our chiropractors use a variety of gentle, evidence-based techniques tailored to your specific needs. These include:

1. Spinal Manipulation
   Known for the characteristic “popping” sound, spinal manipulation involves precise adjustments to realign joints, improve mobility, and reduce nervous system interference. This technique is highly effective for addressing cervical spine misalignment and improving overall balance.
2. Atlas Orthogonal Technique
   A gentle and highly specialized method, the Atlas Orthogonal technique focuses on the top bone in the neck (the atlas). Using a precise instrument, our chiropractors gently correct misalignments to restore proper nerve function and alleviate vertigo symptoms. This technique is particularly effective for natural vertigo relief and is gaining popularity in Australia due to its non-invasive approach.
3. Joint Mobilisation
   For those seeking a gentler approach, joint mobilisation involves stretching and mobilizing joints to enhance movement and reduce stiffness. This technique is ideal for patients with arthritis or disc degeneration contributing to vertigo.
4. Activator Methods
   The Activator is a handheld instrument that delivers precise, low-force adjustments to improve joint alignment and function. This gentle technique is suitable for patients who prefer a less manual approach to chiropractic vertigo treatment.
5. Epley Maneuver for BPPV
   For patients with BPPV chiropractic care, the Epley Maneuver is a specialized technique designed to reposition dislodged crystals in the inner ear. This highly effective method can provide rapid relief from vertigo episodes triggered by head movements.
