  • Vertigo and Dizziness: Is it coming from your neck? Home Test and Treatment | Dr. Matthew Posa Chiropractor in Milton, ON
    In this video, Dr. Matthew Posa, a chiropractor in Milton, Ontario will discuss the 3 main causes of #vertigo and #dizziness, their main differences and a simple test using a thermometer to determine if the neck is the problem.
    Home Tests:
    - Thermometer - Balanced: .2 of a degree or better
    Out of balance: .3 or greater
    - Swivel Chair Test - Sitting on a chair, turn your legs back and forth making sure not to turn your head or neck. If you get vertigo, then it can come from your neck.
    There are many reasons for #vertigo and #bppv and #Dizziness. Please consult your medical doctor or chiropractor. These home tests are generic and are not meant to diagnose. This should only be done by a trained health care provider.

    Thank you for this video. I have been experiencing vertigo, swaying to one side especially for more than a month. Got an MRI which showed nothing, blood work was normal, but when I did the acupressure point release exercise, it fixed the issue at least temporarily, after a few minutes it went back to being kind of dizzy again.There would also be times in the evening I would get a racing heart for a few moments as well..Is this all related to the vagus nerve, and is now a good time to see a chiropractor? Thanks.

      @@HMFamBlessed It was the week of my gall bladder surgery, when I began to awaken, feeling as if I was dying. I began to fear going to sleep, and ended up in the ER one time, where they kept me for four hours. I did much questioning to doctors who said it was nerves...lol...they had the nerve. We know our bodies, and we feel when something is awry. Plus...no one was treating apnea in 1972. I am going to be 79 in June. I am still learning everything I can all the time. The medical journal I read info about respiratory issues, stated..."Patients who have undergone open abdominal surgeries will likely suffer from respiratory issues." I asked my apnea NP if that was true, and her answer was "unfortunately, yes." So, I asked my former GP, if I could have a hole in my diaphragm. He said that if I did, I would be having other symptoms. I BEelieve part of my issues may be digestive, since I have no gall bladder, but it was never taken into consideration. Duh...So, I am inrterested in bile salts, but since my life has become so in volved with my husband's dementia, my needs are on the VERY back burner.

      @@drmatthewposadc I called a local chiropractor yesterday, and he was clueless, or nervous about my not having a diagnosis. I told him I didn't need a diagnosis, if I was coming in for dizziness. I worked for a chiropractor years ago, and we treated symptoms, and one patient was passing out for no reason. It was a neck area that needed adjustment. Through my extensive research into the wee hours, I think I have my issue resolved. I had looked up dizziness and vertigo causes, and in one a girl was low in vitamin D. I researched that, and many symptoms were listed, but not dizziness, so I typed vit d and dizziness. Bingo! I had been skipping my 4000iu, and kept reminding myself to take it, and a mini crisis would come up. I immediately took 4000, plus an extra 2000, plus 2 K2. This morning my vertigo was so minimal. So I took another half dose this morning. I read the dosage could be 10000, but I want to do it gradually. Amazing vitamin D. I had just said to my husband when the sun was out...open the car window, so I can get some D. LOL IT was very cold outside.

    I have had similar symptoms and been to various Dr’s. I finally went to a spine specialist and he ordered an MRI . His diagnosis was mine was all muscular located in the upper cervical . I started massage therapy and the therapist suggested I wear a cervical collar when I go to bed. This has given me a new lease on life and my dizziness and pain in my back and shoulders relief.

    I have had this problem for a while… G.P. Sent me for an MRI on my ears which I knew would come back negative. I know the problem is coming from my neck. I was in a car accident in my early 20’s now 61 and I know my problems stem from that. The bruising on my body was the exact imprint of the seat belt. So definitely had whiplash. I’ve been to an Osteopath,Physiotherapist, acupuncturist and then finally a chiropractor who did work on me but nothing changed. I decided to wear a collar in bed as I cannot lie down without it. I can’t lie on either side luckily I naturally sleep on my back. I couldn’t sleep at all without the collar. It’s made of memory foam so very comfortable but it has to be the same width all the way around… the travel ones are no good for me whatsoever and I’m struggling to find more like the one I have. I’ve just resigned myself to living in this way. My shoulder and neck ache a lot and I have flare ups. Watching this video has spurred me on to find another chiropractor… I had one treatment and when I came out initially it felt great but before I even got home I began experiencing a flare up.I’ll do some research and hopefully find the right one for me. Thank you for sharing.

    I've been experiencing dizziness/vertigo for quite a while now. It started maybe 8 years ago, very mild, where I couldn't turn to look around me when I'm walking, or I start to lose my balance. In the last 6-8 months it has gotten serious. Every step I take jars my visual perception. If I'm standing and I close my eyes, I have to be touching something or I start to lose my balance. (When taking a shower I have to have an elbow touching the wall or I start to tip over.) Someone else commented mentioning the vagus nerve. I also have a chronic cough that ENTs and allergists can't figure out. Different things trigger it from food textures, talking a lot, yawning really wide and exertion. And other times a cough hits me without warning. I also seem to suffer from post nasal drip, but the nose sprays and allergy pills the allergist prescribed didn't do a thing. Could this all be related somehow? I tried your three tests, but they were all negative for me.

Yes last test out of many was a MRI of the upper cervical neck which showed that I have two bones touching each other. You asked if I would like to follow up with a chiropractor and yes I do. I need to find a chiropractor near me in Florida near orange city, Deland, Deltona or Daytona. Need to follow up with my pcp to inform her that I was very disappointed with the treatment suggested by the neurologist, which was to take DOXEPIN start with one pill until I get to 3 pills per night.

    I've been putting up with dizziness for the past 2 months. I am sure it is from my neck as I was extremely stressed doing computer work when it suddenly started. I also have tingling from behind my left ear, down under my jaw and down the left side of my neck to the top of my chest. I can hear crunchy sounds inside my head when I move my neck & I would feel off balanced. The more I moved my neck, the worse and longer it lasted. I was afraid to leave my apartment because I was so unsteady, but I found walking straight without moving my head has been the safest for me to get around.

    I had a severe car accident with whiplash and have lived intermittent vertigo. Sometimes I just move my neck a certain way and I get a period of lack of oxygen to my head. Makes me dizzy but passes. I think stress can cause it as well as my stress hits my neck muscle causing tension and results in a feeling of vertigo. When it happens I get into a panic mode from the feeling making it worse. What is a good way to avoid the intermittent vertigo or what is your explanation of this condition.

    Hi, I have been to see an ENT doctor who told me I have crystals that is causing my dizziness. I also saw a general doctor who told me to go see a chiropractor. The chiropractor has been concentrating on my neck and shoulders. After my last session, which is very painful, I could not walk and was very dizzy. I could not drive home. By the way, I take Betahistine every day for my dizziness. Why does it hurt so much at the chiropractor and why did I become so dizzy after her treatment. Thank you.

    I get vertigo from time to time, which I suspect is related to my neck having seen your great video - I have bad posture and the bone behind my ears is often very sore to touch. Anyway, I recently had a very bad spell of dizziness (no spinning) and nausea, which persisted on an off for several weeks. Then I read about sinus (which I have) and vertigo with a suggestion to hold your nose and blow to clear the Eustachian tube that connects your throat with your inner ear. As soon as I did there was an "explosion" from my left ear - a loud bang followed by a gush of air. I immediately felt better. Perhaps this is something we should all do regularly. Thanks for the video, its very helpful.

    I'm sorry, I don't know how to reply back to your answer. I have done the Epply as well as the half somersault. And went to my chiropractor. The dizziness when I turn my head had pretty much disopatted but the straight back, lay down swivel is still there. There's also a point behind my ear kind of at the base of the neck that I've pressed and rubbed on a few times and nearly knocked myself out. Like I almost passed out.

    Hello Dr. Posa I have been having just the unbalance feeling since 2014 from a car wreck,but I adapted to it. Just yesterday I was looking at my phone and looking down at the phone but putting a strain on my neck and as I looked up the world started to turn ,I felt my eyes trying to adjust to what was going on,we made it home and I went to lay down and was getting all the room spinning sensations but it wasn't full on spinning,so I tried to turn to either side and the spinning was there and also closing my eyes it was definitely there. I stood back to my feet and tried to walk it was normal but a slight change in my steps. Now I never experienced all of these symptoms except for the unbalanced feeling in my head. But since the forward head leaning/strain it has become bad last night. I am terrified for the first time in my life about my situation. I didn't see how to do the standing test in the video.

    • @drmatthewposadc

    Very interesting... I notice if I am on my back in bed and look to the right the room spins. NOT all the time but most of the time. I do not have a Dr. I do NOT Trust a Dr. The prescribe Pharmakeia, which is not something I would ever take. I have gone to a Chiropractor a few times due to a car accident, I know one of my upper vertebra's were said to be off, I thought it was C7, its been years though. Can this disappear and come back years later? Dizziness is terrible. the room seems to spin, also the lightheaded feeling is not good either, maybe both MIGHT have something to do with this area?

    What if it will not stay in alignment, after many adjustments?
    Tendon weakness in Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, can cause Upper Cervical instability. Stabilizing/strengthening the tendons should be done. Adjustments, which are too aggressive can worsen this problem for some people.

    • @drmatthewposadc
      @drmatthewposadc  3 місяці тому +1

      Absolutely and that’s the difference between getting a manipulation vs adjustment is so different. Understanding when and when not to adjust, how to strengthen the area and create stability is the goal for most corrective chiropractors. In my office it happens often that I don’t have to adjust the same segment sometimes for months since we create stability

    Can someone get vertigo from a deep tissue massage? Wednesday I had an 80 min and he finished with a deep massage on my neck. And when I stood up afterwards it was the craziest dizziness I’ve ever experienced. And, I’ve had MANY massages over the years and this has never happened before. This was on Wednesday, 4 days ago and I still get crazy dizzy when I make sudden movements, at night when moving side to side or any sudden movements during the day. I’m 38 and feel too young for this. I’m scared no one will be able to help me.

    Do you think a gallbladder causing right neck/shoulder pain could be connected. Firstly, yes I’m going to my chiro as soon as they open today lol but my situation is: yesterday I started taking betaine hcl and beet flow supplements to help my digestion. After the first meal the pain in my neck on the right side (that I’m sure is from a congested gallbladder) was gone! It’s been like that for years. Then 12 hrs later I come home from work and nap, wake up and my bed felt like a boat in the ocean tossing on the waves. Now another 12 hrs and I see your videos and it’s starting to make sense. I also think if my digestion wasn’t working properly and I shocked it all of a sudden maybe some sort or minerals or blood sugar went out of whack. What do you think Doc, probably the right side gallbladder pain now being relieved causing it? The bone behind the ear is definitely sensitive
