Vertigo, the sudden sensation that a person is spinning, is difficult to cope with and even harder to find an actual cause for. Medical doctors are only able to find an underlying reason in approximately 50% cases. The majority of these causes lead back to head injuries.
This fact was discovered in a study performed involving 60 patients. When a medical history was taken on each patient, it was revealed that 93% of them had suffered some type of trauma, such as during skiing, car accidents, horseback riding, and some as simple as tripping and falling. Only 4 of the participants could not remember having an accident that was related to their vertigo.
This clearly shows the connection between trauma that affects the head and neck and vertigo. How much damage was done during the accident does not seem to matter. Therefore, if someone is experiencing vertigo, it is vital to recognize the fact that it could be caused by some sort of injury, even if this injury happened a long time ago.

Upper Cervical Care for Vertigo
The C1 and C2 vertebrae, which are the top two bones of the neck, are very susceptible to injury due to their location and mobility. They protect the brainstem. However, if they are misaligned they can actually cause the brainstem to malfunction sending improper signals to and from the body and brain. This leads to a number of health problems, including vertigo.
At Crowder Specific Chiropractic, we have been specifically trained to detect where a certain misalignment is and then work to correct this. Once corrected, the body can begin to heal and the brain can once again receive and send proper signals. Our patients have reported a decrease in symptoms. Some have had it go into remission entirely. Is there is more proof available? The study referenced earlier saw a patient that had suffered from vertigo for 37 years have it go away completely. Additional proof abounds. Why not give it a try?
