Vertigo Treatment in Round Rock
Vertigo can stop you mid-step. A sudden, disorienting spin can make even the simplest tasks feel unsafe. At Family Wellness at Teravista, our Gonstead chiropractor takes a thorough, root-cause approach to understanding why you’re experiencing vertigo and what can be done to address it without relying on medication.
When the World Spins Without Warning
Vertigo is not simply dizziness. It’s the false sensation that you or your surroundings are moving when they aren’t. In most cases, it originates in the vestibular system, the inner ear and its connections to the brain, but spinal nerve interference can compound or directly contribute to the problem.
The most common form, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), occurs when tiny calcium crystals in the inner ear shift out of position and disrupt normal balance signals.
NEW PATIENTS
Displaced Crystals, Cervical Tension, and the Nerves In Between
The causes of vertigo are more varied than many patients expect:
- Displaced calcium crystals (otoliths) in the inner ear
- Upper cervical misalignment affecting vestibular nerve pathways
- Poor proprioceptive signaling from the neck and spine
- Inflammation or fluid changes in the inner ear
- Nutritional deficiencies affecting neurological function
- Head trauma or whiplash
Symptoms commonly include spinning sensations, nausea, difficulty focusing, and unsteadiness when walking.
A Precise Vestibular and Spinal Evaluation
We begin by evaluating the vestibular canal for abnormal function and frequently perform the Epley’s maneuver as part of our assessment process. From there, Gonstead full spine adjustments correct any misalignments contributing to nerve interference in the pathways governing balance. We complement spinal care with Epley’s stretches, proprioceptive exercises, and function-based movement work.
Shockwave therapy and Science-Based Nutrition evaluations are also available, including guidance on healthy fats like MCT oil derived from coconut oil to support nerve tissue repair.
Getting Back to Ground You Can Trust
When vertigo is properly addressed at its source, patients often return to the activities and confidence that spinning spells have taken from them. Walking without grabbing walls, driving without hesitation, and getting through a full day without dreading the next episode are all realistic goals with the right care.
