A person with vertigo has the illusion that the room is spinning or their own body is spinning. Vertigo creates unidirectional (one-way) motion and rotational motion.
This motion is viewed in two perspectives, with only a slight difference, states Dean Harman DC. There is objective vertigo wherein the patient has the sensation of his surroundings going in circles around him and subjective vertigo wherein he feels he is the one spinning around his environment.
There is a very important distinction between vertigo and dizziness. Patients in CA who experience dizziness say they feel light-headed or nauseous and there is loss of balance but the motion of perception is absent.
Here’s what your San Mateo Chiropractor will do: get your history, examine you thoroughly and let you undergo neurological and orthopaedic tests to find out what is really causing your vertigo and dizziness. With the findings at hand, they will develop a customized plan of management to fit your specific case.
