WHAT IS VERTIGO?
If you’re grappling with disc-related injuries, don’t lose hope. A holistic approach involving a nutritious diet, low-impact exercise, and a regimen of warm and cold compresses could significantly reduce your pain or potentially bring about full recovery.
However, for more severe cases, surgery may be the only effective treatment. Known as a discectomy, this surgical procedure removes the troublesome tissue, thereby relieving pressure on nearby nerves and tissues. Conducted almost half a million times annually, it’s a fairly common and minimally invasive procedure.
If you suspect that your back pain is due to a disc issue, don’t hesitate to contact our specialized chiropractic team at Meridian Integrative Wellness for a consultation. Acting early increases the range of treatment options that will be available to you.
WHAT CAUSES VERTIGO?
Patients often report a range of underlying factors for their vertigo, though certain causes appear more frequently. Among the most commonly cited triggers for vertigo are:
- Intense headaches, like migraines or tension headaches, which can induce feelings of dizziness and nausea
- Persistent earaches or internal ear damage
- Reduced blood circulation to the brain
- Vehicular accidents causing harm to the spine’s joints and ligaments
- Most commonly, misaligned vertebrae or subluxations in the neck
While these common vertigo triggers may seem disparate, they share a crucial similarity: each one affects the body’s ability to maintain balance and orientation. When this equilibrium is disrupted, it can lead to abnormal body functioning.
Generally, vertigo arises from an imbalance in the nervous system signals being sent to the brain. These signals, which typically help us maintain stability, can become garbled or distorted, leading to symptoms like dizziness.
SYMPTOMS OF VERTIGO
Vertigo presents itself in various ways, and dizziness is just one of its many manifestations. The condition can range from a minor inconvenience to a potential sign of a more serious underlying issue. As such, if you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, it’s crucial to consult a healthcare professional:
- Vision issues, such as blurriness or seeing double
- Auditory problems, like tinnitus, particularly in one ear
- Difficulties with balance and coordination
- A constant sense of fatigue or tiredness
