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.

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 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.

    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 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 also dealing with some degenerative disk problems and am waiting to see a pain specialist for a possible injection. Could the vertigo be related to the spine problems, or is this a post symptom from the Influenza. Thank you!

    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.

    Well, thank you, Big Brother, who is constantly monitoring my conversations because I literally just said this to my dad on the phone today, and to my husband tonight, and his phone was near him. I was heard. I've been struggling with vertigo, and I had Meniere's Disease in the past, but this is TOTALLY different. I've had ruptured discs in my neck for years, and I said, "I wonder if this vertigo has something to do with my neck?" When I am laying down it happens -- especially on my left side. If I lay ON my left side it feels like everything in there closes up. The ENT is telling me that I have very small eustachean tubes, and he's saying that I am majorly hearing impaired in my left ear. When I blow my nose, I hear crackling. My neck hurts very often. Sometimes, I feel like I have whiplash. I can't get comfortable sleeping. I get back headaches. After seeing this, I'm convinced it's my neck. I did the thermometer test and it was .6 off. I did the swivel chair test and everything got woozy. Thank you thank you for this video. I did the neck exercise, and I couldn't turn my neck that far and it hurt and I heard cracking, and I got dizzy.

    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.

    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 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.

    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

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.

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?
