What Causes Dizziness?
Dizziness or vertigo can be caused by many different problems. This is a very difficult condition to treat, because so many things cause it, and not many of these things show up clearly on tests.
Inner ear infections can cause many problems with balance. However, I find that this is often a misdiagnosis. How do you know if you’ve been misdiagnosed? Well, if you have taken a round of antibiotics, you show no other signs of infection and you are still dizzy, you probably don’t have an inner ear infection. In my opinion, you need to look elsewhere for the cause.
Dehydration is a very common cause of dizziness. Many people are dehydrated and don’t know it. This is caused by the massive consumption of soft drinks, orange juice, coffee and alcohol that make your body lose water. Dizziness can be a sign that your body has lost too much water and you need to address the issue.
Nerve interference in the cervical spine is by far the most overlooked cause of dizziness and vertigo. It is very common to have balance disorders after injury to the cervical spine. When the spine is injured, vertebra can misalign and nerves in the upper cervical area can be stretched or pinched. The nerves in this area carry signals to the brain that help it determine where you are in space. If the nerves are irritated, it can cause signals to be sent to the brain telling it you are somewhere you aren’t. You then get balance disorders.
Chiropractic adjusting can correct many cases of dizziness and vertigo by removing nerve interference in the upper cervical spine. When proper nerve function is restored, the positional sense is restored. And the crazy, out of control feelings stop.
