Vertigo / Dizziness

Vertigo is a form of dizziness that is characterised by a feeling of spinning or movement, particularly when changing position suddenly, such as turning over in bed. This sensation can cause a loss of balance and stability.

Causes

Inner ear problems

The inner ear plays a crucial role in balance and orientation. Common conditions include Meniere’s disease, vestibular neuritis, and benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), where the calcium crystals in the inner ear are dislodged into the wrong area.

Misalignment of the upper cervical spine

This can put pressure on the brain stem.

Head and neck injuries

Injuries to the head and neck can lead to damage in the inner ear or brain.

Migraines

Vertigo can be a symptom of migraine headache.

Medications

Certain medications can cause vertigo as a side effect.

Neurological conditions

Some neurological conditions, such as multiple sclerosis or a stroke, can cause vertigo.

Symptoms

  • Spinning sensation
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Loss of balance
  • Headaches
  • Sweating
  • Ringing in the ears
  • Abnormal eye movements
  • Weakness or difficulty walking
