Vertigo Treatment in Shelby Township.

Dizziness, spinning, balance problems. Dr. Brad identifies the cause and treats it — often in just a few visits.

Overview

Vertigo has a cause. Let's find it.

Vertigo — that feeling that the room is spinning — can be debilitating. It makes driving dangerous, working difficult, and everyday tasks unpredictable. And most people have no idea that a chiropractor can help.

There are two common types of vertigo Dr. Brad sees. Cervicogenic vertigo is caused by dysfunction in the upper cervical spine — misalignment or restricted joints that disrupt the signals your brain uses for balance. BPPV is caused by displaced crystals in the inner ear that confuse your vestibular system.

Both types respond well to specific treatments. Cervical adjustments for neck-related vertigo. Repositioning maneuvers (like the Epley technique) for BPPV. Dr. Brad determines which type you have and treats accordingly.

Why chiropractic works for vertigo.

Identifies the Type

Not all vertigo is the same. Dr. Brad performs specific tests to determine whether yours is cervical, vestibular, or another cause entirely.

Often Resolves Quickly

Many vertigo cases — especially BPPV — can be resolved in just one or two sessions with the right repositioning technique.

No Medication Needed

Anti-vertigo medications mask symptoms and cause drowsiness. Treating the cause provides actual resolution without side effects.

Restored Balance

Proper cervical alignment and vestibular function mean stable balance, confident movement, and safe driving again.

FAQ

Vertigo questions.

Can a chiropractor help with vertigo?
Yes. Many cases of vertigo are related to cervical spine dysfunction (cervicogenic vertigo) or inner ear crystal displacement (BPPV). Chiropractic adjustments and specific repositioning maneuvers can provide significant relief.
What is BPPV?
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) occurs when tiny calcium crystals in the inner ear become displaced. Specific head repositioning maneuvers like the Epley maneuver can often resolve BPPV in one or two sessions.
How do I know if my vertigo is from my neck?
Cervicogenic vertigo is often accompanied by neck pain or stiffness, and dizziness is triggered by neck movements. Dr. Brad performs specific tests to distinguish between cervical and inner ear causes of vertigo.
