What Are The Differences in
Vertigo or Dizziness?

Are you dealing with vertigo or dizziness and live near Elmhurst? Our experienced doctors at Elm Chiropractic often encounter patients who have previously sought care from other healthcare providers with little to no success in relieving their symptoms. Many of these patients report receiving a lack of information regarding the underlying causes of their vertigo and the most effective treatments available.


It is important to note that dizziness can refer to two distinct sensations - feeling lightheaded or feeling like you’re about to faint, and the perception of objects moving or spinning around yourself - known as vertigo. The causes and treatments for these two sensations differ, and it is important to accurately identify which sensation you are experiencing. At Elm Chiropractic, our doctors are skilled at distinguishing between these two sensations and determining the underlying cause of vertigo or dizziness.

What Are The
Underlying Causes?

At Elm Chiropractic, we have treated many patients who experience vertigo and have encountered a range of underlying causes, and have seen that certain causes have been more prevalent than others. Here we have compiled a list of the most commonly observed causes of vertigo at our clinic:

  • Severe headaches, such as migraine or tension headaches, which can cause dizziness and nausea.
  • Chronic earaches or even damage to the inner ear
  • Automobile accidents can cause damage to the spinal joints and ligaments
  • Reduced and limited blood flow to the brain
  • Misalignments or subluxations of the neck vertebrae are also associated with vertigo and can be the most common cause

Elm Chiropractic
Can Help With Vertigo

Although the list of common causes of vertigo may seem random, they are actually connected by a crucial factor. Each of these areas of the body plays a critical role in the body's ability to orient itself and keep its sense of balance. When this balance is disrupted, it can cause abnormal body function. The imbalance that leads to vertigo is typically caused by a disproportionate amount of nervous system signals reaching the brain. These signals, which are responsible for maintaining balance, can become distorted and scrambled, leading to symptoms of dizziness.



Thankfully, at Elm Chiropractic, our doctors take a unique approach to treating vertigo and specialize in stabilizing nervous system function. By addressing the underlying cause of the imbalance and improving nervous system function, we can help alleviate symptoms and improve overall health.
