People who suffer bouts of vertigo will gladly subject themselves to numerous tests and remedies to find the source of the problem. Whether it’s just a few minutes of dizziness, or a full blown attack of whirling and nausea –– the condition is pretty unpleasant.
Doctors often scratch their heads while looking into a patient’s ears, hoping to find a reason. MRI tests are common to eliminate the possibility that a tumor may be the cause. A variety of calming drugs and even diuretics are often tried to solve inner ear issues.
Now, based on the results of 60 vertigo patients over an 8-year period, Chiropractic offers new hope for vertigo sufferers. The source of the problem in each of the cases seemed to stem from the area of the upper cervical spine. This would make the neck and upper back area the main target for an adjustment by a chiropractor.
Each of the 60 chronic vertigo patients was asked to recall any trauma that might have caused injury to this area of their body. A total of 56 of them were able to recall a fall, a skiing accident, a car crash, a tumble down some stairs, or even a horse riding incident.
Two diagnostic tests showed objectively that cervical subluxations (misalignments of the vertebrae in the neck area) had occurred in all 60 cases. Each patient received the appropriate Chiropractic adjustments to the diagnosed area for one to six months.
The result was that all 60 patients showed a positive response to treatment. Forty-eight of the 60 were symptom-free following adjustments, and the other 12 had less severe or frequent incidents.
The study provides a link between trauma in the neck area and vertigo. Any vertigo sufferer would certainly be wise to undergo Chiropractic examination to determine if displacement of vertebrae has occurred. If so, they will certainly be a candidate for adjustment and may soon be on the road to a vertigo-free life.

Whiplash is an injury that is common to automobile accidents, but there are many other ways in which this painful blow to the cervical spine can occur. When it does, studies confirm that Chiropractic can provide significant help and long-term healing results.
A whiplash injury occurs when there is an abrupt backward or forward jerking motion of the head which causes an injury to the neck and the back. These cervical spinal injuries most frequently result when a person who is involved in an automobile accident is struck in such a way as to cause the jerking motion of the head and neck to occur. However, this action can also occur when a person is participating in a sporting event. It’s been known to occur when riding on amusement park rides and sometimes as the result of a fall.
“Nearly 1 out of 15 adult Americans suffers from the annoying and sometimes debilitating long-term effects of whiplash injury, usually in the form of neck stiffness and pain,” said Arthur C. Croft, DC, and director of the Spine Research Institute in San Diego, Calif. Fortunately, the results of several studies regarding relief for whiplash show that Chiropractic offers a very high level of help. Here are the conclusions of 4 separate studies sited by Dr. Croft:
- In a study published in Injury, 93 percent of 28 patients showed significant improvements following Chiropractic care. The help protocol utilized included spinal manipulation, stretching and ice therapy.
- Study results published in the Journal of Orthopedic Medicine showed similar findings. “Whiplash injuries are common. Chiropractic is the only proven effective treatment in chronic cases,” researchers said in their study conclusions.
- Finally, two separate studies published in the Journal of Manipulative Physiology and Therapy confirm Chiropractic benefits. “For chronic spinal pain in general, when compared to traditional medical approaches, Chiropractic has generally been shown to be more effective.”
Practicing safe driving and using properly adjusted headrest restraints and seatbelts can go a long way to preventing whiplash accidents. Wearing the proper head gear in sporting activities, particularly for those playing a violent sport like football, can also help to prevent injury.
Ask your chiropractor what recommendations he or she can provide to keep your cervical spine in top condition and help you to avoid injury to the neck and back. Of course, should a whiplash injury occur, Chiropractic is the well established source of intervention and long-term relief.

Recent studies are showing that a more “hands-on” approach may be more effective in treating neck pain than traditional therapy or a physician’s care. The study, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, compared three modes of treatment to determine which was the most effective in improving mobility and reducing neck pain. 183 patients between...
