Chiropractor for Dizziness in St. Louis, MO
Dizziness can not only be unsettling and distressing, it can even be disabling. It may be impossible to function or even move when dizziness strikes. For many people, chiropractic care has offered a drug-free route to relief from dizziness.
In St. Louis, Dr. Dusty Mattingly offers his decades of experience to patients struggling with dizziness. His gentle chiropractic care can very often resolve the causes of dizziness, sparing patients from the hazardous side effects of pharmaceutical solutions to this problem.
Causes of Dizziness
There are several physical causes of dizziness that a chiropractic doctor can address.
- Tension or misalignment of the vertebrae in the neck: Dizziness can result from poor alignment of the neck vertebrae. This misalignment places pressure on the nerves and can cause muscle tension and stiffness. This situation prevents the brain and nervous system from working properly and the result can be dizziness or vertigo.
- Vertigo: This condition often results from the shifting of inner-ear calcium crystals which can disrupt balance. Chiropractors have multiple methods of correcting the placement of these crystals to provide relief from dizziness.
- Neck trauma or whiplash: Even mild neck trauma can cause damage to the neck and upper body that may turn into dizziness, tension headaches, neck pain or other problems years later. Don’t overlook getting care after a minor auto accident, even parking lot incidents that seem harmless. Even years later, chiropractic care can correct these problems that took a long time to develop.
- Other causes: Many chiropractors provide other help and advice beyond adjusting the neck and back. Dr. Dusty provides experienced nutritional and lifestyle advice to his patients suffering from dizziness. Something as simple as low blood sugar or dehydration can trigger lightheadedness. As part of his care, Dr. Dusty will advise patients of every solution to their dizziness.
How Chiropractic Care Relieves Dizziness
Dr. Dusty approaches each case carefully so he can ensure that each patient gets the right solution for the cause of their dizziness.
- Accurate assessment: Dr. Dusty begins every case with a careful and detailed assessment. He will study your medical history, episodes of dizziness and any accidents, injuries, medical situations or other possible contributing factors. A postural and balance analysis can provide more data leading to a solution.
- Spinal and cervical adjustments: Utilizing gentle, precise techniques, he can ease neck and spine vertebrae into their correct positions to ease nerve compression, relax muscles and improve blood flow.
- Complementary therapies: Deep tissue laser therapy, pressure point therapy addressing muscle tension and nutritional recommendations can provide further relief from dizziness.
