Struggling with Vertigo in Urbandale?

Vertigo can literally turn your life upside down.  Many people with vertigo seek out an Urbandale chiropractor and find a great deal of improvement in their condition. It is a condition marked by dizziness, and living with it makes even the simplest functions of day to day living a struggle. Many people find it difficult to get information about what exactly is causing their vertigo, and therefore, what the best available treatments are. This article will hopefully help you to understand the common causes of Vertigo as well as explain how chiropractic treatment can help you to find relief.

Vertigo Treatment in Urbandale

Before we get into talking about the causes of vertigo, let’s go over some of the most common symptoms to help you determine if this is what you are dealing with. Two different kinds of dizziness are often assumed to be Vertigo. Sometimes people say that they feel dizzy when they actually mean that they feel like they are going to pass out or faint.

Others say they feel dizzy when they perceive objects around them spinning and moving. Vertigo is a medical term that is used to describe the second situation. It is important to differentiate between the two sensations because each has a different set of causes and appropriate treatments.

Vertigo can range from a small nuisance to an indication of a severe underlying condition. Contrary to popular belief, dizziness is not the only symptom associated with this disorder. Some of the symptoms of vertigo that commonly accompany dizziness are:

  • Blurry vision or difficulty focusing
  • Problems hearing, especially in one ear
  • Ringing ears
  • Trouble maintaining balance
  • Feeling fatigued or tired all the time
  • Double vision

Causes of Vertigo

As we already mentioned, there are variety of different causes for vertigo. At times it can be caused by a severe underlying issue, therefore, it is of vital importance to be examined by a medical professional if you are experiencing symptoms. The following is a list of some of the most common causes of vertigo:

  • Severe headaches such as migraines or tension headaches
  • Chronic ear aches or damage to the inner ear
  • A lack of blood flow to the brain
  • Car accidents resulting in damage to the joints and ligaments throughout the spine
  • Misalignments or subluxations of the vertebrae in the neck

As you can see, vertigo commonly starts with issues involving the head, inner ear, and spine. These areas play an important role in how the body orients itself and maintains balance. Vertigo commonly results from a disruption in the signals sent from the nerves of the spine to the brain. When signals that would normally keep us balanced become distorted and scrambled symptoms of dizziness can occur.

Chiropractic care for Vertigo

Chiropractic treatment is a gentle and safe approach to overcoming many of the causes of Vertigo. A chiropractic treatment begins with a thorough evaluation that will determine the exact cause of your vertigo and the most appropriate treatment methods. Many people find that the adjustments they receive from their chiropractor are all that it takes to stabilize the nervous system function and completely cure their vertigo. Call today to consult with a chiropractor in Urbandale today on how you can find relief from your vertigo.

Dr Kyle has helped me slowly get rid of the knot in my back that other drs have not. He listens to what you have time to tell him and is not afraid to change what he does if the treatment is not working. He is very knowledgeable and caring. I am glad I started going to him for relief.

I'm so grateful that we found Kyle Ruehle and the Advanced Spine Center! 40 years ago I had a Steffe plate fusion of my lower back go terribly wrong... requiring another surgery that only marginally relieved my back pain. 40 yrs I've lived with differing degrees of discomfort, vowing to never let anyone touch my back again. 10 months ago the pain also went to my mid to upper back along with my lower back.... now I was forced to make a decision to take action. My wife had already been in Kyle's program... so I took a chance and had him X-ray my spine. We looked over the x-rays and came up with a plan. My lower back and hardware were pretty messed up... broken screws... screws protruding into discs...major sway back.. scoliosis... mis aligned hips... arthritis above the plates and fusions... etc. He stated that he thought we could get to pain free. I was skeptical but joined the program of physical therapy, back adjustments, along with a couple different traction approaches, which a lot of other chiro offices don't have. After 8 weeks I am truly amazed at how great I feel overall. Not 100% free of all pain... but everything is way more manageable, and we have a maintenance program going forward. The traction services were what really made the difference. Kyle knows how to use them... and if he isn't seeing results like he wants... he adjusts the program. It's not a one size program fits all.... Kyle adapts to each individual. He did get my back to move in the right direction with 8 weeks/ 3 times per week sessions. Drove an hour each way to get there... but more than worth it! Thanks again Dr. Kyle.... your services are excellent... and I loved the music and the free lawn care tutorials were also excellent :)

I came to Advanced Spine Health Center after hearing consistently positive feedback from others who had experienced meaningful pain relief there. At the time, I was dealing with persistent shoulder pain and ongoing neck discomfort that had not fully resolved with prior treatments. Dr. Kyle performed a comprehensive evaluation and took the time to clearly explain the underlying issues contributing to both areas of pain. Appointment scheduling was straightforward, and I was able to be seen promptly, which I greatly appreciated. Based on the assessment, we initiated a structured treatment plan. For my shoulder, we incorporated red light therapy and electrical stimulation. Dr. Kyle outlined a realistic estimate for the number of visits required, and I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly he anticipated improvement. In fact, I did not need the full course of projected visits, and my shoulder has remained symptom-free. The treatment approach was entirely non-invasive yet highly effective. For my neck, I had previously relied on dry needling and trigger point injections over the past couple of years. Instead, Dr. Kyle implemented targeted exercises, chiropractic adjustments, and traction therapy. Since beginning this plan, my neck pain has significantly diminished, and I have not required any injections. The improvement has allowed me to travel and work without discomfort—something I had not been able to do consistently before. Dr. Kyle is exceptional to work with—knowledgeable, personable, and flexible. He sets clear goals and expectations, communicates openly, and delivers results. Most importantly, the treatment plan worked. I would highly recommend Advanced Spine Health Center to anyone seeking effective, patient-focused chiropractic care.

Got in quickly for new patient exam! First appointment for chiro and decompression helped a lot after a few days. Definitely felt an improvement and now feel 100% after 4 months. The addition of steps/exercises I could still do definitely helped! I do wish there were earlier hours bc it was hard to do 2-3 visits a week with work being 9-5 and a busy evening. But price is very reasonable and the appt times flexible!

After a little over a year of having some severe lower back pain due to a disc injury I started working with Dr.Kyle as I had done everything I could do on my own to heal my back. He did a very comprehensive consultation with me. Full x-rays of my back, neck, and mapping of my feet. With that we learned that my left leg is 1/2 inch shorter than my right which was leading to an increase in the pain in my back. We added a shim (wedge) to my left shoe which did help drastically. We started with trying adjustments but that was not working for me so we switched it up I started doing decompression therapy, which has relieved the pain by 99%. I had tried everything on my own that I could and while it may have helped Dr.Kyle has made a world of difference. I can get out of bed without being in severe pain and I have full mobility back. I would highly recommend him as he has services available outside of your standard chiropractic care. He’s got a service for pretty much anyone’s situation, and even if you don’t have health insurance, or he isn’t in network, services are very affordable. This coming from someone who pays out of pocket. 10/10 recommend.

Dr. Kyle is awesome! The guy really knows his stuff. I'm often skeptical about going to a new place, wondering if im going to get sucked into a 34-visit treatment plan. Dr. Kyle was super easy to work with and he's extremely flexible with scheduling and treatment. From the first visit, he's on your side, as the patient. He presents his findings, treatment options and breaks down how it's all paid for. I particularly appreciated his concern for what I'd be paying. He doesn't immediately jump to the most expensive treatment option, unless it's what is needed. I'd recommend him above any other chiropractor in the state!
