Has an Injury Caused Your Vertigo?
Many of my clients write to me telling me they suffer from vertigo - the sensation of dizziness or whirling. They are very interested in knowing the causes and what treatments are available.
My Vertigo and Dizziness program has helped many people. These same people were generous to share their personal stories concerning vertigo.
Some people experience vertigo due to a closed head injury such as a car accident. This is when the brain is injured but not due to an object that actually penetrates the area (such as a bullet wound.)
Between twenty-five and sixty percent of those who’ve suffered a closed-head injury have experienced vertigo - dizziness or a whirling sensation. The number could actually be higher but vertigo as a result of injury is difficult to diagnose.
One reason is that with a closed-head injury, the patient oftentimes doesn’t associate it with vertigo because the injury which caused it was minor - he or she was able to “walk away” with little to no side effects.
Many don’t realize for weeks or even months that the brain injury was, in fact, serious.
One client told me she had been misdiagnosed several times before a doctor was able to properly identify her condition.
After taking many medications and feeling the sometimes major side effects of those medicines, her doctor finally asked about possible head injuries and she was able to recall a car accident in the months preceding the vertigo onset.
I am a proud believer in natural therapies when available. It is, however, important to see a doctor for proper diagnosis first. Accidents affecting the brain are serious, no matter how small they may seem.
Screening available for risk of fall is easy and affordable.
Vertigo as a result of closed-head injury is the most treatable of the different types of vertigo.
Regardless of the type of vertigo from which you suffer, I would like to recommend my all-natural Vertigo and Dizziness program. My clients have seen dramatic results!
