How can chiropractic care help vertigo and dizziness?

Gentle, precise chiropractic adjustments—especially in the upper neck—restore motion and reduce irritation that can scramble balance signals. We pair care with vestibulo-ocular drills, balance/proprioception training, and canalith repositioning maneuvers for BPPV when appropriate.

Q: What causes vertigo and dizziness?

Common causes include BPPV (inner-ear crystals), neck-related (cervicogenic) dizziness, vestibular neuritis or post-viral irritation, vestibular migraine, blood sugar or blood pressure swings, and dysautonomia. At iHeal Chiropractic and Functional Medicine, serving Farmington & Lakeville, MN, we perform a targeted exam to identify your root cause.

Q: How can Functional Medicine help vertigo and dizziness?

Functional Medicine targets inflammation, including potential neuroinflammation (an inflamed brain) that can worsen dizziness, motion sensitivity, and brain fog. We stabilize blood sugar, optimize hydration/electrolytes, and evaluate key nutrients (B12, ferritin/iron, vitamin D, magnesium). We also address gut-driven inflammation and triggers to lower the overall inflammatory load on the nervous system.

Q: How long does it take to recover from vertigo and dizziness?

About eight weeks with consistent care and home exercises, though some BPPV cases improve faster. Individual timelines vary by cause and adherence to the plan.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What’s the difference between dizziness and vertigo?

Dizziness feels like lightheadedness or being off-balance. Vertigo feels like the room is spinning or tilting. Common triggers include head movement, dehydration, low blood sugar, stress, poor sleep, visual overload (busy stores/screens), and neck or jaw tension. Keep a simple diary (date, sleep, meals, stress, cycle phase, head positions/visual triggers) to spot patterns.

How can chiropractic care help dizziness or vertigo?

We address the spine–brain connection and tight neck/upper-back tissues that can confuse your balance system. Care may include gentle cervical adjustments, soft-tissue work and posture retraining (upper traps, suboccipitals, jaw/temporal areas), TMJ and rib mechanics support, and workstation/sleep coaching—often reducing cervicogenic (neck-related) dizziness.

How can Functional Medicine help vertigo and dizziness?

We look for and calm inflammation, including signs of an inflamed brain (neuroinflammation) that can heighten light-headedness, motion sensitivity, and brain fog. We assess hydration/electrolytes, stabilize blood sugar, check key nutrients (B12, ferritin/iron, vitamin D, magnesium), and address gut-driven inflammation and triggers. The goal is to lower inflammatory load on your nervous system so your vestibular pathways can recover.

How long does it take to recover from vertigo and dizziness?

About eight weeks with consistent care and home exercises (some BPPV cases improve faster).
