Around 15% of people experience dizziness at one time or another. The number jumps to as much 40% as a person gets older. Dizziness is one of the main reasons that people visit their primary care doctor. It is often severe enough to limit a person’s daily activities, yet it is rarely serious enough to indicate a life-threatening condition. Descriptions of dizziness abound. Here are some common ways people may feel:
The following medications are often used to help care for dizziness:

The National Institute of Health reports that approximately 50% of all Americans are taking some kind of prescription medication. Why is this a concern?
When a pharmaceutical company develops a drug, they have to test it to ensure its safety and that it works as it’s supposed to. Generally, those tested are adult males between 25 and 50. While this may be fine in some cases, it is important to realize that a woman, a child, or an elderly person may have a completely different reaction because of an interaction with other medication, age, or hormone issues. Therefore, whenever a medical doctor recommends a new medication, one must weigh all the risks involved and decide whether it is the right thing to do. This is leading to many people looking for natural ways to cope with health problems.
At Crowder Specific Chiropractic, we use an alternative approach to providing help for the problem of dizziness. We first examine the neck to see if this is where the underlying cause originates. Often, a misalignment of the top bones of the neck can cause communication problems between the brain and body. Using a gentle technique to realign these bones may be just the right thing to lessen or alleviate dizziness.

Neck pain is gaining ground on back pain as one of the most common and debilitating conditions plaguing people worldwide. Out of every 10 people, 1 suffers from neck pain. Out of every 20 people, 1 describes the pain as severe.
Finding out what exactly is causing neck pain can leave both patients and doctors frustrated. This is due to the complexity of this area of the body. The muscles, bones, and skull work in conjunction with one another caring for arteries, veins, and nerves located nearby. The weight of the head comes into play also. The head can weigh up to 12 pounds and is supported entirely by the neck. This takes immense coordination and balance. Therefore, if something – even if it’s very small – happens to throw this process off, neck pain, as well as a number of other health problems, can follow.
The vertebrae are the main support system for the structure of the neck. It is vital that these bones remain in their correct place. If one is coping with severe neck pain, it is important to have this area examined by a professional.

One such professional is an upper cervical chiropractor. We are specifically trained to detect misalignments in the upper neck bones. A misalignment here could have been caused by a blow to the head or neck or any trauma that affected this area of the body. Car accidents, sporting accidents, and whiplash can be to blame, even if they happened a long time ago.
At Crowder Specific Chiropractic, we use a specialized method to readjust these bones and encourage them to move back into alignment. This does not require popping or force the spine, but rather involves a very gentle technique that helps the bones to move more naturally into place. The body then begins to heal the existing damage. This often leads to a decrease in neck pain or an elimination of it entirely.
