Feel Dizzy or Lightheaded?

Vertigo Corrected 



A patient came in last week with symptoms and warning signs that kept getting worse. It started with a headache which lead to vertigo symptoms of extreme dizziness and spinning like sensations. This then lead to numbness down the right arm and partial loss of vision. 

She began to panic and thought she was having a stroke. Her doctor even suspected that she had a brain tumor or had suffered a stroke. MRI testing was negative for any findings. Her neurologist began treating the symptoms with medication, but she became even worse. She began to think that she was just going to have to deal with these problems for the rest of her life since nobody knew what was going on.

This patient came into Legacy Clinic desperate for answers. Upon examination the doctors found the top cervical vertebra that protects the brainstem and controls all automatic reflexes to be severely misaligned. This vertebra, under the professionally trained hands of the doctors of Legacy Clinic,  was carefully realigned to allow the nerve pressure that had been built up to be released back to its normal state. Over the next 12 hours the patients vertigo symptoms, vision problems, and neurological issues began to diminish.

When there is pressure on one of your spinal nerves your body will give off symptoms based on the location.
