    Vertigo Treatment in Murrysville, PA

    Helping You Regain Balance and Confidence

    Vertigo can make everyday activities feel unpredictable and overwhelming. Whether you're experiencing dizziness, a spinning sensation, balance problems, or difficulty moving your head comfortably, vertigo can interfere with work, exercise, driving, and daily life.

    At Depretis Chiropractic and Total Wellness, we evaluate patients experiencing vertigo and dizziness to identify potential contributing factors and determine the most appropriate treatment approach. Because vertigo can originate from several different causes, a thorough evaluation is an important first step.

    Our goal is to help patients better understand their symptoms, improve function, and regain confidence in their daily activities.

    What Is Vertigo?

    Vertigo is the sensation that you or your surroundings are moving or spinning when no actual movement is occurring.

    Common symptoms may include:

    • Spinning sensations
    • Dizziness
    • Loss of balance
    • Unsteadiness while walking
    • Nausea
    • Motion sensitivity
    • Difficulty changing positions
    • Lightheadedness

    Symptoms can range from mild and occasional to severe and disruptive.

    Common Causes of Vertigo

    Vertigo can occur for a variety of reasons. Some common causes include:

    • Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
    • Inner ear dysfunction
    • Vestibular disorders
    • Previous head or neck injuries
    • Concussions
    • Cervical spine dysfunction
    • Balance related conditions

    Because multiple conditions can produce similar symptoms, determining the source of vertigo is essential for developing an effective treatment plan.

    How We Evaluate Vertigo

    Every patient receives a comprehensive evaluation before treatment recommendations are made. Depending on your symptoms, this may include:

    Health history review
    Balance assessment
    Neurological screening
    Cervical spine evaluation
    Range of motion testing
    Functional movement assessment
    Positional testing
    Digital X-rays when clinically appropriate

    The goal is to identify potential contributing factors and determine whether your symptoms may benefit from conservative treatment approaches.

    How We Treat Vertigo

    Treatment recommendations are based on the individual's symptoms, examination findings, and likely cause of the condition.

    Vestibular Rehabilitation Exercises

    Certain types of vertigo may respond well to specific movement based exercises designed to improve balance, reduce dizziness, and support vestibular function.

    Chiropractic Care

    Some patients experiencing dizziness or vertigo also present with neck pain, mobility restrictions, or cervical dysfunction. When appropriate, chiropractic adjustments may be incorporated into treatment plans to help improve mobility and overall function.

    Movement and Balance Training

    Depending on the patient's needs, recommendations may include:

    • Balance exercises
    • Walking strategies
    • Mobility exercises
    • Home exercise recommendations
    • Activity modifications

    The goal is to improve confidence, stability, and overall function.

    Vertigo After Neck Injuries and Auto Accidents

    Some patients begin experiencing dizziness or balance related symptoms following whiplash injuries, auto accidents, sports injuries, falls, or head injuries.

    When neck dysfunction is contributing to symptoms, improving mobility and restoring normal movement patterns may become an important part of the recovery process.

    Our Approach to Vertigo Treatment

    At Depretis Chiropractic and Total Wellness, we recognize that vertigo is not the same for every patient. Rather than focusing only on the sensation of dizziness, we evaluate how symptoms are affecting balance, mobility, daily activities, and overall quality of life.

    Treatment may include chiropractic care, vestibular rehabilitation exercises, movement recommendations, and other conservative treatment approaches depending on the individual's needs.

    Our goal is to help patients improve function, regain confidence, and return to their normal activities as safely and comfortably as possible.
