Dizziness and Vertigo

Understanding Different Types of Dizziness

At Northwood Chiropractic Oxford, we recognize that getting to the root cause of dizziness requires in-depth analysis and a detailed understanding of the problem. Dizziness classically presents in three distinct forms: lightheadedness, unsteadiness or vertigo (spinning sensation). Each of these symptoms can have many causes however one of the most common issues we see is Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV).

BPPV: Understanding the Mechanism

BPPV occurs when tiny crystals in your inner ear become displaced, triggering false spinning sensations. These episodes typically manifest as sudden spinning sensations lasting up to 30 seconds with head movement, particularly when lying down or looking up. Many patients experience their worst symptoms in the morning, accompanied by nausea.

Getting To The Root Of BPPV

Our Oxford clinic specializes in the Epley Maneuver, widely recognized as the gold standard for resolving BPPV. However, our approach extends beyond this single maneuver. Our exam also focuses on a thorough analysis of the spine. This is because the spine is integral to the proper functioning of your nervous system. To really get at the root cause of this problem, the spine must be free from misalignments causing an interference in your nervous system. It is only when we really address this aspect when we truly address the cause and stop this issue from returning.

The Northwood Chiropractic Difference

What sets our approach apart is our holistic approach to this issue. We don’t want to only focus on the symptoms but ask the question, why did this occur in the first place. By really addressing the underlying issue, we get better results and importantly, lasting results.
