Vertigo is not a disease but a symptom. It is not right to wait and say “it will pass” without finding the cause.
1Possible causes
- Displacement of inner ear crystals (BPPV)
- Ear infections
- Neck tension and dysfunction of the cervical vertebrae
- Stress and overload of the nervous system
- Circulatory disorders
2The osteopathic approach
Osteopathy does not look at vertigo as just a symptom. Tension in the head and neck area is released to balance the nervous system and blood circulation, and the body is assessed as a whole system.
We look not at where the pain is, but at where it comes from.
