Dizziness & Vertigo Support Group
Dizziness is the sensation of instability. Vertigo refers to dizziness with a sensation of motion. Vertigo is more likely than other types of dizziness to be associated with nausea, vomiting, or double vision, to occur even when lying down, and to feel better with the eyes closed. If you are a frequent sufferer of dizziness or vertigo, join the group and find support.
Do any of you who have lightheadness or vertigo go to a chiropractor to have your neck adjusted? Mom and I do but it has been about 6 weeks or more and we need to see our good chiro again.
I've had so much car troubles, it is hard to get there--40 miles away. The young chiro here in town can't do necks. He has tried mine and ends up pulling on it rather than adjusting it. Mom was fine in her neck till about a week ago now she is having vertigo.
We think we need adjustments because we both have a sore area in the back of our necks. We had a great chiro many years ago who could fix almost anything, but like most things, he died.
This is a frustration situation! I am glad to know this sensation is usually not serious but can be helped.
Glad I checked it out.

and to answer your original question. i have gone to one for my neck. it was the main reason for going to my first chiro .
years ago.
i have a backward curvature of my cervical spine.
kyphosis
it is tricky to adjust my neck b/c of that and b/c of the tight muscles that have been that way for so many decades.
my more recent chiro , has several options, besides the type of manipulation you mean.
sometimes i need that kind, but sometimes , a different approach.
for me, massage helps tremendously
and also.............the first time I had vertigo, my chiro , who is not just a chiropractor but also a teacher (of it) and neurologist.
he helped my vertigo , despite my reluctance to let him, by putting me in a spinning chair and other maneuvers that seemed like the opposite of what I should need, but it worked.
