40% of Americans will experience vertigo at least once in their lifetime. This condition can cause dizziness and balance issues, making it almost impossible to carry out the simplest tasks. Vertigo and other balance-related conditions can negatively impact every aspect of a person’s life.
This condition can occur due to a problem with the body’s vestibular system, which includes the cerebellum, an area of the brain that integrates motor control, coordination, and sensory perception. It can also affect the brain stem, vestibular nerve, and the structures of the inner ear. The vestibular system regulates the body’s orientation in space, posture, and balance.
People diagnosed with vertigo often seek chiropractic care to relieve their debilitating symptoms. At Cornerstone Chiropractic Health Center, our team offers a non-invasive treatment option that can help you manage your vertigo.
Vertigo is divided into two types:
Peripheral vertigo is caused by Meniere’s disease, vestibular neuronitis, or benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.
Central vertigo may be caused by head injuries, strokes, migraines, infection or illness, brain tumors, or multiple sclerosis.
Other causes of vertigo include:
Common symptoms associated with vertigo include:
Not everyone with vertigo will experience the same symptoms. Symptoms will vary depending on the underlying cause. If you’re experiencing one or more of these symptoms, it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible.
At Cornerstone Chiropractic Health Center, our chiropractors offer treatments that can relieve vertigo symptoms. Depending upon the cause of the vertigo, treatments can range from gentle chiropractic adjustments to a series of therapies.
Adjustments will correct any misalignments in the spine, allowing the central nervous system to send and receive signals properly. When communication is restored between the brain and ears, an improvement in balance will follow.
If benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is the underlying cause of symptoms, a patient may benefit from the Epley maneuver. This technique repositions the crystals in the inner ear. A chiropractor will perform a series of position changes that restore the normal crystal position.
Your appointment at Cornerstone Chiropractic Health Center will begin by meeting with your chiropractor to discuss your medical history and the symptoms you are experiencing.
Next, you will undergo a thorough examination to identify the root cause of the issue. Based on their findings, your chiropractor will create a unique personalized treatment plan that addresses your symptoms, balance issues, and the underlying cause of your vertigo.
During an adjustment, your chiropractor will use a small instrument or their hands to gently realign the spine. If the joints in the cervical spine are misaligned, the brain can misinterpret the information it receives from the body. Adjusting the cervical spine can improve joint function and reduce vertigo symptoms.
Your chiropractor may recommend treatment follow up treatments, to effectively help you manage vertigo. For the best results, consistent treatment is crucial.

Dr. Mike is personable and listens to his patients. My primary interaction with him was with one of my wrestlers that was tryin to get back on the mat after numerous surgeries. He tried and tried and continued to have problems with his shoulder. He was sidelined for a good portion of his senior year. Dr. Mike started working with him a couples days a week. This last for for about 8 weeks. He was ultimately able to compete and placed 3rd in the state tournament. What is truly unique is that he had gone to numerous other experts and the results were always the same. It was different with Dr. mike and so were the results. This guy does it right and gets results! I strongly recommend him.
