Vertigo Treatment in San Diego
There are 2 different kinds of dizziness that are most associated with vertigo. Individuals often say they are feeling dizzy, but this often means they feel like they are going to faint, or even pass out.
Another kind is when someone says they are dizzy when they perceive objects around them as spinning or moving. This is when the term “vertigo” is used in the medical field. But it is very important to understand the difference between the 2 because this will determine the appropriate treatments and roof causes of the symptoms you are feeling.
It can vary per person, but vertigo symptoms range from a small nuisance and frustration, or it might be an indication of a more severe underlying condition. Unlike what many people believe, dizziness is not the only symptom associated with this condition.
Some of the Most Common Vertigo Symptoms include:
Blurry vision or difficulty focusing
Problems hearing, especially in one ear
Ringing ears
Trouble maintaining balance
Feeling fatigued or tired all the time
Double vision
Causes of Vertigo
As discussed above, there are a variety of causes for vertigo. If it is a severe underlying issue, it is crucial to be examined by a medical professional. Dr. Blakely is very familiar with helping individuals with vertigo issues and working towards the underlying conditions to help bring relief. Some of the more common causes of vertigo include:
Severe headaches such as migraines or tension headaches
Chronic ear aches or damage to the inner ear
A lack of blood flow to the brain
Car accidents resulting in damage to the joints and ligaments throughout the spine
Misalignments or subluxations of the vertebrae in the neck
Vertigo commonly starts with issues involving the head, spine, and inner ear. Each of these parts plays a very important role as to how the body orients itself to maintain balance. Oftentimes it results from a disruption in the signals that the spine sends to the brain. If these signals that keep us balance become disoriented and scrambled, symptoms of dizziness will occur.
