Understanding people with Dizziness and Vertigo
Dr Wilson has worked with hundreds, perhaps thousands, of clients with dizziness and vertigo and he knows that they often carry high levels of anxiety and fear. Episodes of dizziness can be extremely frightening and traumatic and can result in a loss of confidence. Some clients liken it to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
Finding Solutions for You
Clients often call when they have been suffering with dizziness and vertigo and are desperate to find a solution.
It is important to understand that balance, coordination and movement are difficult neurological tricks to pull off in the first place. As the growing child rocks, then crawls, then stands and eventually walks, their nervous system is making lifetime internal brain connections between a number of different neurological mechanisms.
Important parts include the inner ear (semi-circular canals), vision, neck motion (muscle tone and awareness of head position) and what is called proprioception (nerve feedback from the body, sending signals about position, muscle tone and joint position).
The calculations in the brain that occur to build a sense of balance and coordinated motion is vast. Modern computers find it hard to recreate these functions and autonomous robots are still not as coordinated, well balanced and graceful as the most uncoordinated human.
Determining the Cause of your Vertigo
A detailed examination allows differentiation between issues such as labyrinthitis, vertigo, loss of fine point determination and other problems.
These findings allow us to begin restoring good function to the organs of balance, helping them to work as they were intended. By correcting joint function in the neck, nerve feedback, crystals in the semi-circular canals and visual coordination, we can help the body to heal, when it wasn’t before – often bringing great results. Many clients describe the outcome as ‘life changing.’
