Help for Dizziness or Vertigo in Marietta
Vertigo is a type of dizziness where you feel like you or your surroundings are spinning. It can be mild or a sign of something more serious, and balance issues often accompany it.
Symptoms Beyond Dizziness
Apart from dizziness, vertigo can manifest through several symptoms, including:
- Blurry vision or difficulty concentrating
- Hearing issues, often in one ear, or ringing sounds
- Challenges in maintaining balance
- Persistent fatigue or tiredness
- Experiencing double vision
How an Upper Cervical Misalignment Can Trigger Vertigo
An upper cervical misalignment can result in various forms of dizziness or vertigo. Both the cranial nerves to the eyes and ears can be affected. Additionally, CSF and blood flow to and from the brain can be impacted. Any of these occurrences can lead to vestibular imbalances, causing dizziness and vertigo.
Will I Need an MRI?
Regular MRIs are meant to rule out pathology and disc issues. If you have headaches, dizziness, fatigue, brain fog, or head pressure, upper cervical chiropractors like Dr. Berner may order a cranial cervical junction (CCJ) MRI to visualize the top structures in the spine. You may have ligamentous damage or blood flow issues to and from the brain.
