Dizziness and Fibromyalgia - A Common Combo

Dizziness takes many forms including loss of balance and vertigo (the sensation of spinning). This condition is also commonly associated with chronic conditions like fibromyalgia. When a person is already suffering daily pain, you don’t need to add a fall to the mix. Caring for dizziness is vital. Is there a natural option available? More importantly, how do you deal with dizziness and fibromyalgia?

Dizziness and Fibromyalgia Care in Stow, OH

The fact is that medication is rarely a good solution for dizziness. First of all, dizziness is usually a symptom of an underlying problem and not the problem itself. That means only symptoms are being treated. As a result, the symptoms are likely to return, and medication use becomes necessary on a long-term basis. Because of this, many are seeking natural dizziness solutions.

Upper cervical chiropractic has the ability to get to the underlying cause of dizziness. If you look at our patient reviews page, you will find many real life examples such as Terry. He came to the clinic with dizzy spells that could have proven very dangerous at his construction job. His dizziness and other symptoms improved greatly after just one adjustment, and things continued to get better as his alignment held.

Why Does Upper Cervical Chiropractic Help?

Problems with vertigo, dizziness, and fibromyalgia often result from a misalignment of the upper cervical spine. Such a misalignment can affect the vestibulocochlear nerve or even the Eustachian tubes because the atlas (C1 vertebrae) is in such close proximity. Other complications of an upper cervical misalignment include pressure on the brainstem or spinal cord and inhibited blood and cerebrospinal fluid flow.

Once an adjustment corrects the misalignment, the nerves and tissues have a chance to heal. Pressure can be reduced, and flow of vital fluids can return to normal. A low force correction ensures that the adjustment lasts as long as possible, and your body has the optimal amount of time to repair the damage.
