Vertigo in Gilbert AZ

Patients can have a number of different reasons for experiencing vertigo, though there are some causes that are more typical. Causes of vertigo and dizziness that can be treated by a chiropractic physician include:

• Cervicogenic dizziness
• Benign Positional Paroxysmal Vertigo (BPPV)

Cervicogenic dizziness is caused by neurobiomechanical dysfunction of the cervical spine which can often be corrected with cervical spine manipulation and neck exercises. BPPV is dysfunction of the inner ear which can respond well to neck manipulation and specific therapies to reposition crystals in the inner ear.

However, dizziness and vertigo can be symptoms of a more serious condition such as an ear infection or even a stroke. These conditions require medical evaluation and treatment. Dr. Brown will refer you to the appropriate provider if he suspects you may have a condition causing your dizziness and/or vertigo that requires medical diagnosis.
