Vertigo and Dizziness Toledo

Do you have vertigo or dizziness in Toledo? The clinic notes that Fairwood’s doctors see patients who have tried other providers with little relief and have not received much information about possible causes and treatment. It explains that people may use “dizzy” to describe two different sensations: feeling faint or as if one may pass out, or feeling that objects are spinning or moving. Vertigo is the medical term for the second sensation. The clinic notes that distinguishing between them is important because causes and treatment differ.

Vertigo in Toledo

Common causes of vertigo include:

• Severe headaches, including migraine or tension headaches
• Chronic earaches or damage to the inner ear
• Reduced blood flow to the brain
• Car accidents that damage joints or ligaments in the spine
• Misalignments or subluxations of the vertebrae in the neck

These areas play a role in orientation and balance. An imbalance in nervous-system signals may be one factor. We evaluate symptoms and discuss treatment options.
