Stop the Spinning: Peoria Chiropractic Vertigo Relief at Absolute Wellness

Vertigo can be debilitating. The sensation of spinning, dizziness, and loss of balance affects daily activities and quality of life. At Absolute Wellness in Peoria, IL, Dr. Rob Kelch provides natural, effective relief for vertigo and balance disorders.

Understanding Vertigo

Vertigo isn't just feeling dizzy—it's a specific sensation where you or your surroundings seem to be spinning. Common symptoms include:

• Spinning sensation (room spinning around you)
• Loss of balance or unsteadiness
• Nausea and vomiting
• Difficulty walking or standing
• Headaches
• Ringing in ears (tinnitus)

Common Causes of Vertigo

BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo)

The most common type, caused by calcium crystals in the inner ear becoming dislodged.

Cervicogenic Vertigo

Caused by neck problems, misalignments, or injuries. This is where chiropractic care is especially effective.

Other Causes

• Meniere's disease
• Vestibular neuritis
• Head or neck injuries
• Poor circulation to the brain

How Chiropractic Care Helps Vertigo

Spinal Alignment

Misalignments in the upper cervical spine (neck) can affect blood flow to the brain and inner ear, causing dizziness. Dr. Kelch's precise adjustments restore proper alignment and nerve function.

Improved Blood Flow

Chiropractic care improves circulation to the brain and inner ear, which is crucial for balance and spatial orientation.

Epley Maneuver

For BPPV, Dr. Kelch may perform the Epley maneuver—a series of head positions that help move calcium crystals back to their proper location.

Nervous System Function

The spine and nervous system control balance and coordination. Chiropractic adjustments optimize this communication.
