Care for Vertigo in Thunder Bay
If you feel like the world is spinning—even when you’re still—you may be experiencing vertigo. This unsettling sensation can make everyday activities feel overwhelming. At Port Arthur Chiropractic Centre we understand how frustrating vertigo can be, and we’re here to help with natural, thorough care tailored to your unique situation.
Understanding Vertigo and Its Root Causes
More than just a general sense of dizziness, vertigo is the specific feeling that your surroundings are moving when they’re not. You might also notice balance issues, nausea, headaches, or neck discomfort.
Many of our Thunder Bay patients experience vertigo due to:
- Inner ear concerns, such as benign positional vertigo (BPPV)
- Neck misalignments or nerve irritation
- Concussions or past head injuries
- Occasionally, underlying health conditions like blood pressure issues or anxiety
Everyday Tips to Support Healing
Our chiropractor will also provide you with some practical advice to help you stay steady between visits, such as:
- Safe sleeping positions to avoid triggering symptoms
- Movement tips for daily activities
- Nutritional guidance to support nervous system health
Gentle Techniques That Support Balance
If your vertigo is connected to the inner ear or neck, certain chiropractic techniques can help restore stability and comfort. One approach we often use is the Epley’s Maneuver, a gentle method that guides tiny crystals in the inner ear back to their proper position. Many patients notice relief after just one session.
We also provide gentle cervical adjustments and soft tissue therapy to ease neck tension and reduce pressure on nearby nerves. These techniques are designed to help restore normal movement and improve neurological communication throughout the body.
What You Can Expect at Your Visit
From the moment you walk into our clinic, we focus on listening carefully. During your initial consultation, Dr. DiGiuseppe will explore details like when your vertigo started, what triggers it, and whether other symptoms like neck pain or a past injury might be involved. Your care plan will reflect your specific needs and comfort level.
Many patients with positional vertigo notice improvement quickly. For others—especially those with more chronic causes—it may take several visits to achieve progress.
