Can A Chiropractor Help With Vertigo?
Neuro-Structural Corrective Chiropractic is not only an effective treatment option for vertigo but essential when addressing the root cause of the issue.
To understand how it works, let’s take a closer look at what vertigo is, why it happens, what conventional treatment options are, and how our approach to vertigo treatment here at Platinum Chiropractic is different.
Vertigo is a common condition that affects most of the population at least once in their lifetime. It is more common among older people, though it can happen to anyone. There are two types of vertigo: peripheral and central. Some telltale signs you are experiencing vertigo include the following:
- Dizziness
- Difficulty focusing the eyes
- Loss of balance and potential falls
- Hearing loss in one or both ears
- Ringing in the ears
- Nausea and vomiting leading to loss of body fluids and dehydration
People who experience vertigo differentiate it from lightheadedness. With vertigo, they describe the sensation as though they are actually spinning or moving or that the world is spinning around them.
Platinum Chiropractic is a leading chiropractor for Vertigo in Santa Clara, CA.
Dealing with vertigo can be quite challenging and dangerous. The spinning sensation is disorienting and often leads to losing balance and falling. Aside from falling, other symptoms that come as a result of vertigo include:
difficulty swallowing
- double vision
- eye movement problems
- facial paralysis
- slurred speech
- weakness of the arms and legs
As you can imagine, the effects of vertigo can be jarring and significantly impact one’s quality of life. Many folks may begin to get out less and stop doing the activities they enjoy to avoid triggering their symptoms. Many even lose their ability to drive. Common treatments for those suffering from vertigo:
- keeping still
- avoiding sudden movement
- avoiding bright lights
- performing the Epley maneuver
- prescription drugs
- physical therapy to improve balance
However, none of these options address what caused vertigo in the first place. So then, what causes vertigo?

I've tried everything! How is Platinum different?
The good news, this area is our exact focus with Neuro-Structural Correction:
- identify and relieve pressure on the nerves by restoring proper alignment of the spinal cord,
- taking pressure off the pathways of communication between your brain, spine and nerves
- so that they can heal and function normally.
When patients come to us with vertigo, we first question why you are experiencing these symptoms. What is your body telling us? How is your underlying structure and nervous system function impacting your health? Our thorough Neuro-Structural Chiropractic Examination is designed to tell us just that.
By identifying and addressing a Neuro-Structural Shift, we can help restore proper spine function, taking pressure off the brain and nerves. We use objective measures to identify the underlying cause of your vertigo by testing for Neuro-Structural Shifts in the spine.
If a Neuro-Structural Shift has been found, we create a personalized care plan tailored to each individual’s specific needs. Our techniques are gentle and non-invasive, and we prioritize our patients’ comfort and safety. Soon after beginning care, many people start to notice the symptoms of vertigo improving due to better alignment and mobility in the spine.
If you are suffering from vertigo, we offer a drug-free, long-term solution.
Schedule a consultation with Dr. Karo so you can get back to living a healthy, vibrant life without drugs or surgery.

I've tried everything! How is Platinum different?
Here at Platinum Chiropractic we have a patient centered approach, getting to know you and your health history and goals before we begin. Our primary focus is identifying and treating Neuro-Structural shifts in the spine, which are usually the cause of many different symptoms – so pain/symptom relief is naturally a byproduct of the work we do.
Our thorough examination using objective measures directs us to the underlying cause of your headaches and migraines. We can test for Neuro-Structural Shifts in areas of the spine which have a high correlation in causing migraines and headaches. We use state of the art equipment to assess and locate nerve irritation and structural abnormalities.
The best part is when patients begin care, they can have immediate reductions in pain and dysfunction. People frequently tell us at their progress examinations that they stopped taking migraine medications because they’ve been migraine free for weeks and even months! And the only thing they have changed in their life is starting their custom Neuro-Structural Chiropractic Care plan at our practice.

Study Correlates Chiropractic Care and Good Health
Meet Dr. Henry Windsor. Back in 1921, Dr. Windsor, a medical doctor, wanted to know why his patients undergoing chiropractic care or osteopathic spinal care returned to health without medications or surgery. So he put together a study at the University of Pennsylvania to try and answer just that question.

Why do people tend to get sick this time of year? We’ve all heard the theory that when kids return to school, being around each other is how they “catch colds.” Although it is correct that they are around more people, this alone doesn’t cause sickness. Think about all the places people go during the summertime where there are many people, amusement parks, camps, vacations with lots of tourists, and even other countries.
Strong Immune System Defense
The purpose of strong immune system defense is to defend the body from enemies and effectively attack and remove infiltrators. The brain and the autonomic nervous system (automatic operating system) play a critical role in that process. When an invader is detected, the brain and the autonomic nervous system facilitate the synchronization of the immune system’s soldiers to sequester and eliminate the assailants.
