How Chiropractic Care Can Improve Balance

Poor balance can stem from various causes such as injuries, diseases, disorders like Meniere’s, side effects of medications, ageing, blood pressure fluctuations, or chemical imbalances. The vestibular system, which governs our sense of balance, starts in the inner ear and sends essential signals to the brain and multiple organs. This complex system is crucial for posture, maintaining balance while in motion, and keeping visual focus when body positions change.

When any part of the vestibular system malfunctions, balance issues can arise. Symptoms may include motor control problems, dizziness, weakness, and tremors. If you experience any of the following symptoms, it's crucial to seek medical advice to pinpoint the cause of your imbalance:

- Feeling like you are moving when still

- Falling or feeling like you might fall

- Unsteadiness

- Light-headedness or dizziness

- Visual disturbances

How Chiropractic Care Can Improve Balance

The nervous system is the master control system of the entire body, with most of it housed within the spine. Misaligned spinal joints can lead to erroneous information being sent to the brain regarding the body’s position and movement.

A small study focusing on patients with neck pain, balance issues, and dizziness showed notable symptom improvement with regular chiropractic adjustments.

If you have balance issues, it’s vital to consult your doctor for a proper diagnosis. Chiropractors can assist with many balance-related concerns, including Vertigo.
