Early Birthday Gift from a Patient. #schittscreek

Why does cervical adjusting often reduce vertigo when other interventions have failed? Because vertigo has a host of causes: sometimes it's vestibular (ear) and... a simple Epleys procedure solves it, sometimes it's visual in etiology, sometimes it's integrative - brain dysfunction , sometimes its iatrogenic (gentamicin and other ototoxic meds.), sometimes it vascular or metabolic, and so on, but sometimes it's the neck (especially post injury). Mechanoreceptors(referred to as Ruffini corpuscles in the text) tell the brain where the neck (and other parts of the body) are in relation to each other. This latter activity is accomplished in the integrative centers of the brain where the information from tens of thousands of receptors is interpreted to provide the brain with a 3D understanding of where the neck is in space and in relation to other parts of the body. When other localization apparatii (ears or eyes) provide conflicting information the brains integrative centers become confused often resulting in dizziness, vertigo, nausea and other distressing symptoms. In cases where the aberrant information is emanating from mechanoreceptors in the cervical spine, normalizing the orientation and/or the output of those receptors will result in a resolution of symptoms.

Happy Thanksgiving!
