How Boise, ID Residents Are Finding Natural Help for Vertigo

Vertigo can hit suddenly and without warning.  One may be performing normal daily activities or be in the middle of a work day, and suddenly the room seems to spin. The person may now need to sit or lie down until the sensation passes leading to the entire day being ruined.  

Other symptoms that may accompany vertigo are:

• Headache
• Sweating
• Ringing in the ears (called tinnitus)
• Nausea

Health conditions that have vertigo as a primary symptom include:

• Meniere’s disease
• BPPV – benign paroxysmal positional vertigo
• Labyrinthitis

Caring For Vertigo

​One may begin the journey of finding help for vertigo by visiting an ear, nose, and throat doctor. This specialist may recommend such things as:

• Anti-nausea medicine
• Vestibular suppressants (to reduce the symptoms of motion sickness)
• Steroid shots

While these medications do provide some semblance of relief when one is coping with an intense attack of vertigo, they are not a permanent fix. In order to find a long-lasting solution, one needs to identify the underlying cause of vertigo.

NATURAL, DRUG-FREE VERTIGO RELIEF IN BOISE IDAHO

​At Upper Cervical Health Center Boise, we focus on making sure that the spine is in proper alignment.  We look specifically at the C1 and C2 vertebrae.  The C1 or Atlas has the important job of protecting the brainstem. If it becomes misaligned, brainstem function may be disrupted.  This is the communication superhighway between the brain and body.  If signals become distorted, vertigo can be the end result.  We use a gentle, precise method to correct the upper bones of the neck back into place.  Once this is done, the body can begin heal and repair.
