Sidelined By Vertigo? Our Holistic Approach Can Get You Back on Your Feet

Feeling like the world is spinning while standing still can be unsettling, and even dangerous. Vertigo can keep you from enjoying your daily life, affecting your balance, mood, and confidence. At Health Advantage Physical Medicine, we take a holistic, noninvasive approach to help you regain stability and restore a life without constant dizziness.

What to know about vertigo

Vertigo is a persistent sensation that you or your surroundings are moving, even when they’re not. This imbalance can come from issues in your inner ear (peripheral vertigo) or your brain (central vertigo).

Peripheral vertigo, the more common type, often develops when there are problems in the vestibular nerve or the inner ear, both of which are key components for maintaining balance. Central vertigo is typically linked to conditions such as infections, migraines, or stroke. While the underlying causes differ, both types can disrupt your life if left unaddressed.

Common symptoms include nausea, vomiting, headaches, ringing in the ears, and difficulty walking straight. These can be mild or severe, and they often worsen with sudden head movements.

Why a holistic approach matters

Vertigo has multiple potential triggers, so treating it effectively requires looking at your whole health picture. Our team provides chiropractic care, as well as other therapies to manage vertigo.

We start with a thorough evaluation, using in-office diagnostics to save you time and ensure we have comprehensive insight into your condition. The goal is to develop an individualized care plan that reduces your symptoms and supports overall well-being.

Chiropractic care for balance restoration 

Manual spinal adjustments can help by easing pressure on the nerves that control balance and by improving nervous system communication. Adjustments can also improve circulation to the inner ear and relieve blockages that contribute to vertigo episodes.

For many patients, we integrate balance exercises to retrain the body’s ability to stabilize itself. These targeted movements strengthen the connection between your brain, muscles, and vestibular system.

Integrative therapies for lasting results

We often recommend combining chiropractic care with additional treatments, such as:

• Acupuncture 
• Massage therapy
• IV therapy

Small changes in lifestyle habits, such as staying well hydrated, reducing sodium to prevent fluid buildup in the inner ear, getting good quality sleep, and avoiding rapid head movements, can make a noticeable difference in reducing vertigo flare-ups.

Preventing recurrences

Taking steps to reduce and prevent future vertigo episodes plays a role in managing the condition and finding relief. Our team works closely with you to identify potential triggers and to create effective strategies for avoiding them.

Regular check-ins allow us to track your progress and make adjustments to your plan so you can stay on a steady path forward.

Regain your footing

Vertigo doesn’t have to control your life or reduce your ability to live life to the fullest. With the right combination of targeted care and whole-body support, it’s possible to steady your world and feel confident moving again. Our holistic approach gives you the tools and treatments you need to get back on your feet and stay there.
