Vertigo is the illusion of movement of the body or of the environment. Vertigo creates unidirectional (one-way) motion and rotational motion.
There is a small distinction with the perception of this motion, says Dr Israel Villasenor DC. When the patient has a feeling of the environment revolving around him, which is objective vertigo. On the other hand, when the patient feels he is turning round and round in his milieu, which is subjective vertigo.
There is a very important distinction between vertigo and dizziness. In dizziness, patients in NV feel a loss of balance, light-headedness or nausea but there is no motion perception.
Your Henderson Chiropractor will perform a thorough history and examination including orthopaedic and neurological testing to determine the true cause of your vertigo and dizziness. With the findings at hand, they will develop a customized plan of management to fit your specific case.
