Dizziness Relief in Canberra
What Is Dizziness and Why Does It Happen?
Dizziness is a broad and often ambiguous symptom that can encompass feelings of spinning, unsteadiness, or even disconnection from your surroundings. It’s a common issue but can be complex, with causes ranging from benign to severe.
At Canberra Spine Centre, our experienced chiropractors are equipped to diagnose and manage both dizziness and vertigo, ensuring you receive care tailored to your specific needs.
Common Causes
The origins of dizziness can vary significantly—ranging from inner ear disorders like Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) to more serious conditions such as cardiovascular diseases or even brain tumors. Understanding the cause is crucial as it dictates the appropriate care. For example, BPPV, a common form of vertigo, often improves with specific maneuvers performed in a clinical setting.
The Critical Role of Proper Diagnosis
Misdiagnosis or incomplete management can leave individuals struggling with ongoing symptoms or unnecessary medications. That’s why at Canberra Spine Centre, we emphasize the importance of an accurate diagnosis through a detailed assessment and comprehensive examination, avoiding over-reliance on lab tests and imaging which are often not required.
How Does Spinal Health Affect Dizziness?
Often overlooked, spinal health plays a pivotal role in balance and orientation. Dysfunction in spinal alignment or motion can disrupt the proprioceptive signals—sensory information related to body position and movement. These disruptions can lead to the sensory mismatches that cause the condition. Our chiropractors focus on correcting these misalignments, enhancing your body’s natural balance mechanisms.
Chiropractic Care for Dizziness
At Canberra Spine Centre, managing dizzy spells involves a three-step process:
- Assessment: Gathering a detailed history and conducting thorough examinations to pinpoint the cause of your symptoms.
- Diagnosis: Using the information from the assessment to determine the most likely causes of your dizziness.
- Management: Tailoring a care plan that may include spinal adjustments, specialized maneuvers for conditions like BPPV, and personalized rehabilitation exercises. We also provide lifestyle advice to support your recovery.
