Vertigo is more than just feeling dizzy. It is the disorienting, often frightening sensation that the room is spinning around you, even when you are standing still. For many patients, this condition leads to nausea, difficulty walking, and anxiety about when the next episode will strike.
At Bomberg Chiropractic, Dr. Tom Bomberg helps patients in Plymouth and the West Metro find relief from dizziness by investigating a commonly overlooked cause: the upper neck. By correcting dysfunction in the cervical spine, we can often calm the nervous system and restore your body’s natural sense of balance.
While many people associate vertigo strictly with the inner ear, your balance is actually controlled by a complex system involving your eyes, inner ears, and the proprioceptors in your neck.
The top vertebrae in your neck (the cervical spine) are packed with nerves that send signals to your brain about where your head is in space. When these vertebrae are misaligned or restricted – often due to "tech neck," whiplash, or poor posture – they can send conflicting signals to the brain.
When your eyes tell your brain one thing, but your neck tells it another, the result is Vertigo. Dr. Bomberg treats this "signal error" at the source.
Vertigo has many causes, but certain symptoms suggest that chiropractic care may be the solution.
Dr. Bomberg looks for:
Because vertigo can be complex, Dr. Bomberg starts with a thorough evaluation to determine if your condition is spinal in nature. If it is, he uses gentle, non-invasive techniques to restore function.
Treating the upper neck requires extreme care. Dr. Bomberg uses the Activator instrument to deliver a low-force, high-speed impulse to the specific vertebrae causing the nerve interference. This technique is gentle enough for patients who are already feeling nauseous or unsteady and involves no twisting or cracking of the neck.
Tight muscles in the upper neck (suboccipitals) and shoulders can pull on vertebrae and disrupt nerve flow. Dr. Bomberg uses targeted muscle work to release this tension, allowing the adjustment to hold longer and reducing the physical stress on your balance system.
If your vertigo is triggered by "Tech Neck" or poor workplace ergonomics, Dr. Bomberg provides practical guidance and exercises to correct your posture, preventing the cervical strain that leads to dizziness.
Finding answers for vertigo shouldn't be stressful or expensive. Bomberg Chiropractic is in-network with most major insurance providers, including Medica, UnitedHealthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Medicare.
If your vertigo began after a car accident, it is a common symptom of whiplash. In Minnesota, your auto insurance likely covers your chiropractic treatment at 100%, and Bomberg Chiropractic handles all the billing for you. Sames goes for workers’ compensation cases.
