Do You Have Dizziness Or Vertigo?
Vertigo, dizziness, and unsteadiness are symptoms of neck and nerve problems
Do you experience dizziness on a regular basis or semi-regular? Do you often feel like your dizziness is so bad you are in danger of stumbling or falling over? Dizziness is commonly thought of as an altered sense of balance and commonly described as lightheaded, feeling faint, loss of equilibrium, or as if your head is spinning. Identifying the root source of your dizziness is the first step in resolving it.
If you’ve been struggling with dizziness and looking for relief our healthcare clinic in Saskatoon has dedicated chiropractic and acupuncture doctors that can assist you in finding a long-term solution. Make an appointment with Axis Health Center with our chiropractor to find dizziness relief.
Dizziness Often Involves Other Symptoms
The cause of dizziness has many overlapping factors
Several possible factors can contribute to or cause dizziness. For example, some people will experience dizziness from a lack of sleep, a poor diet, excessive exercise, or a disease such as a head cold or flu. Alcohol and drugs, including certain prescription medications, can also cause dizziness.
There are also physiological reasons, including orthostatic hypotension, which is caused by rising abruptly or too quickly after lying or sitting for an extended period. For some people, dizziness is the first sign of a migraine or issues with their vision.
The following symptoms may accompany dizziness:
- Loss of equilibrium
- Feeling faint
- Tunnel vision
- Heavy-headedness or light-headedness
- Nausea and Vomiting
- Unsteadiness
Seeing our expert chiropractor, physical therapist, or acupuncture doctor is the most effective way to determine what is causing your dizziness. This will also assist you in identifying any underlying conditions or factors that may be contributing to your overall condition.
It’s important to know that dizziness and vertigo may be from a recent slip and fall, motor vehicle accident, work place injury or an athletic or sporting injury.

Dizziness and vertigo are successfully treated with chiropractic and physiotherapy
Our team of dedicated doctors and healthcare providers are highly effective choices for treating dizziness.

We will process the information gathered at your assessment to identify the specific cause of your dizziness and design our program. Each treatment plan is based on the individual’s particular needs and typically includes a combination of manual therapy, balance and coordination exercises, education, and condition-specific techniques to help you resolve your condition.
Our Dizziness Treatment Programs Focus On:
Chiropractic adjustments, physiotherapy, acupuncture and more
Importantly, we will start and rule out any serious pathology that may be causing the dizziness in the first place. Symptoms you should be aware of and tell your doctor about include:
- Sudden, severe headache
- Chest pain
- Difficulty breathing
- Numbness or paralysis of arms or legs
- Fainting
- Double vision
- Rapid or irregular heartbeat
- Confusion or slurred speech
- Stumbling or difficulty walking
- Ongoing vomiting
- Seizures
- A sudden change in hearing
- Facial numbness or weakness
Once these conditions are ruled out and it’s determined that we can safely and effectively treat your dizziness we will work to:
- Reducing vestibular symptoms: One of the main causes of dizziness is an inner ear condition known as Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). This condition can be resolved with specific head and body movements and positions. These movements help restore the calcium deposits to alleviate your dizziness.
- Balance exercises and vestibular rehabilitation: Specific balance exercises and particular activities that focus on the nervous system and nerve sensitivity to reduce the effects of dizziness.
- Addressing underlying causes with appropriate medical personnel: Getting eyes and ears examined or seeing a cardiologist if your condition is related to your heart or circulation. Take appropriate medication and check the side effects to ensure your safety and overall well-being.
