Chiropractic Treatment For Vertigo

Vertigo is the term often used to describe dizziness associated with an illusion of movement, often a spinning sensation. It can be caused by problems in the brain or the inner ear. You never know when you'll be caught off guard by vertigo, but when this happens, there are several ways that Dr. Christopher Brill can treat you. 


Treatment for vertigo depends on what's causing it. In many cases, vertigo goes away without any treatment. This is because your brain is able to adapt, at least in part, to the inner ear changes, relying on other mechanisms to maintain balance. However, vertigo can often be treated with manipulation as well as positioning maneuvers and exercises. If the source of a patient's vertigo appears to be the inner ear, Dr. Christopher Brill may assist him or her through a specific procedure to attempt to reposition the debris to a more innocuous position.

Ergonomics

Many Americans spend at least 40 hours a week sitting in an office in front of a computer. Many of these workers will start to experience certain chronic conditions like neck or back pains, carpal tunnel syndrome, numbness in the limbs, etc. because of poor posture in the workplace. If you suffer from any of these chronic conditions, visit us at Therapeutic Solutions LLC to learn more about your treatment options.


Many people who are hunched over or slouching in their chairs experience neck pains from staring at the monitor all day, and feel numbness in the low-back from sitting. Other common ailments are headaches, weakness in the legs, and wrist and/or elbow pain. There are a few things you can do to prevent these pains from occurring so frequently, or even stop them altogether. Here are some tips to improving your posture at work:


 



  • Take a break: take mini-breaks throughout the day to stretch out your arms and legs

  • Set yourself up for success: create a desk space that works for your posture, not against it. Your body and legs should create a 90 to 110 degree angle and your feet should be able to touch the floor

  • Keep your head up: try keeping your head forward and your neck in alignment when you are working. The top of your monitor should be level with your eyes as well


If you feel that your work environment isn’t good for your posture, try taking some steps to improve your work lifestyle. During your consultation with Dr. Christopher Brill, make sure to ask what steps you can take to improve your posture throughout your everyday life.
