Vertigo is an inner-ear problem that causes intense dizziness and nausea — a feeling that the room is spinning or tilting. Episodes range from mild to debilitating, and getting the right diagnosis and treatment matters. At The Spine and Wellness Center in Coral Springs, we help patients find drug-free relief.

What Causes Vertigo?

The most common type is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), in which tiny calcium crystals shift in the inner-ear canals and confuse your sense of position. It’s more common with age, though anyone can develop it, and about half of cases have no identifiable cause.

Other causes include:

• Meniere’s disease — fluid buildup and pressure changes in the ear
• Vestibular neuritis — nerve inflammation, often after an ear infection
• Labyrinthitis — inflammation of the inner ear and vestibular nerve
• Whiplash or head trauma — the leading cause in people under 50
• Severe colds or viruses, certain medications, and inner-ear surgery

Symptoms of Vertigo

• Spinning or tilting dizziness
• Nausea and loss of balance
• Headache and sweating
• Ringing in the ears or hearing changes
• Symptoms triggered by head or position changes

How Chiropractic Care Helps Vertigo

Because vertigo is often linked to the inner ear and the alignment of the upper neck (cervical spine), chiropractic care can be a powerful, drug-free option. We use gentle repositioning maneuvers for BPPV, precise adjustments to relieve cervical misalignment that can disrupt balance signals, and targeted exercises to retrain your vestibular system. We also help identify whiplash-related causes after an accident.
