Managing Vertigo

What goes on between episodes of vertigo and how you manage your stress throughout your day in your life wind up being another contributing factor in making vertigo happen more or less often as well as the occurrences being more severe or less severe. There are a lot of different factors as to what triggers vertigo attacks, from the food that you eat to simple tasks you perform throughout your day. Be aware of the following triggers and attempt to avoid them when possible.

  • Quick Head Movements – Turning, tilting or moving the head quickly can trigger vertigo. Try to keep your movements slow and steady, this should help reduce the chances of vertigo occurring.
  • Bending Down – Picking things up with your head going into a downward position can also be a trigger, when you go to pick something up, bend your knees so you can keep your head in an upright position.
  • Confusing Visual Stimulation – Trying to walk around in the dark can disorient you and cause vertigo to occur, so always remember to turn on a light in the dark.
  • Stress and Anxiety – These can have a dramatic impact on our physical health and trigger many types of symptoms as well as worsening medical conditions, although stress alone cannot cause vertigo, it can cause vertigo to worsen. Try to avoid stressful situations, or take up hobbies to help destress such as knitting or meditation.


Getting Treatment for Vertigo

There are several different ways to go about treating vertigo. From medication to surgery to simple exercises, there is no one size fits all answer, but working with a professional is key to finding a permanent solution for your issues with vertigo. To start off your road to recovery, working with a corrective chiropractor to figure out if your spine is aligned properly or not is vital to making sure that you get to full recovery from it and that you stay fully recovered, not just for several months, but for the rest of your life. If you have vertigo and have never reached out to a chiropractor for help, we highly recommend you do so before considering drugs or surgery.

Softwave Therapy: What Makes It Unique?

At Align Wellness Center, we offer Softwave therapy, a specialized form of shockwave therapy that utilizes advanced acoustic wave technology. Unlike traditional shockwave therapy, which can involve high-energy waves, Softwave therapy uses lower-intensity acoustic waves. This ensures effective treatment with minimal discomfort, making it a non-intrusive option for addressing both old and new health concerns. It’s still important to note, however, that during treatment, the affected areas may still be very tender.

The benefits of Softwave therapy mirror those of shockwave therapy, with the added benefit of it being gentler than traditional shockwave therapy. Softwave therapy can also treat a wider and deeper area of tissue than traditional shockwave therapy.

At Align Wellness Center, we integrate Softwave therapy into our wellness programs, offering a holistic and effective solution for health concerns. Whether you are recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or seeking to enhance your overall wellness, Softwave therapy supports your body’s natural healing abilities.
