  Condition of the Month:     
VERTIGO

Vertigo is a sensation of spinning. If you have these dizzy spells, you might feel like you are spinning or that the world around you is spinning.

Vertigo is often caused by an inner ear problem. Some of the most common causes include:

BPPV. These initials stand for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. BPPV occurs when tiny calcium particles (canaliths) clump up in canals of the inner ear. The inner ear sends signals to the brain about head and body movements relative to gravity. It helps you keep your balance.

Meniere's disease. This is an inner ear disorder thought to be caused by a buildup of fluid and changing pressure in the ear. It can cause episodes of vertigo along with ringing in the ears (tinnitus) and hearing loss.

Vestibular neuritis or labyrinthitis. This is an inner ear problem usually related to infection (usually viral). The infection causes inflammation in the inner ear around nerves that are important for helping the body sense balance.


Other causes could be head or neck injury,
brain problems such as stroke or tumor,
certain medications that cause ear damage,
and/ or migraine headaches.

People with vertigo typically describe it as feeling like they are: spinning, tilting swaying, unbalanced, and/or pulled to one direction.


Other symptoms that may accompany vertigo include feeling nauseated,
abnormal or jerking eye movements, headache, sweating, ringing in the ears or hearing loss.

Symptoms can last a few minutes to a few hours or more, and may come and go.

Chiropractic adjustments can help control or resolve vertigo:  “Your chiropractor will use adjustments targeting joints that are not moving properly.

In the upper neck, faulty motion patterns create misinformation about body position and movement going from the joints to the brain. This type of vertigo, called cervicogenic vertigo, can be helped by chiropractic adjustments.
Livestrong.com

Specific upper cervical adjustments, as we do through Atlas Orthogonal technique, are uniquely designed to correct abnormal alignment in this area of the spine which has a direct correlation to cranial nerves and blood supply associated with conditions such as vertigo.


New Product!:  We have a new probiotic specifically for the unique microbiome for women. It is from Nutridyn and is called Ultrabiotic Women’s. If you have any questions or interest in this product please talk to Dr. Borski or Dr. Baker to see if you could benefit from this specific supplement!


Please mark your calendars for Chiro Kids Day, January 25^th!  We will have stickers, coloring pages and activity sheets to share. We will have a drawing for any child that participates. We will also have special gift certificates for new patients as well. Please join us in promoting good health through chiropractic care for our most precious children!
