Hi everybody, Dr. Scrin here. Today what

0:05

I want to talk to you about is vertigo

0:07

or dizziness that people have. That's

0:10

something in the clinic I've helped

0:12

treat in the last 33 years that I've

0:14

been in practice. I have a number of

0:16

patients that have vertigo and

0:17

dizziness. I'm going to show you some

0:19

x-rays in a case of a gal. She was in

0:21

her mid4s. She's actually had this her

0:24

whole life and she came in to me to see

0:27

for low back pain and neck and

0:29

headaches. But going through her

0:31

history, we found out that she's been

0:32

dealing with vertigo her whole life.

0:35

We've had excellent results with her.

0:36

So, let's go in the next room and I'll

0:38

show you her x-rays.

0:41

So, before we look at the x-rays, what I

0:43

want to show you is how as a

0:45

chiropractor we can affect the dizziness

0:47

and what was going on with the vertigo.

0:50

But the spine up and through here, it's

0:52

their job is to protect our nervous

0:54

system. We have nerves that are coming

0:56

out between the bones. And for

0:58

dizziness, dizziness can be caused kind

1:02

of up in the neck, midback, down and

1:04

through the thoracic region there. And

1:06

in her case, we are seeing a lot of

1:08

misalignments up in this area here. And

1:11

that's going to be nerves going to the

1:12

base of the skull, the estation tubes,

1:15

and the ears. That's where we wanted to

1:17

concentrate. So, when we look at her

1:20

x-rays over here, what I'm going to look

1:22

for is I'm going to be looking for

1:24

misalignments, how the vertebraes are

1:26

tipped or twisted. And that's where I'm

1:28

seeing down here at the base of the

1:29

neck. She had some, but more important

:31

was up in the top part of the neck. Her

1:33

very top bone was rotated and so was her

1:36

head onto her scalp.

1:39

So, as I was showing you on her X-rays

1:42

and on that chart, that's where we

1:44

worked with her was up in the part of

1:45

the neck, kind of at the base of the

1:47

neck, she actually noticed differences

1:50

in the dizziness within the first two

1:52

weeks. I've had her under care for about

1:54

6 months. Under that 6 months, she's

1:57

only reported being dizzy about 3 days.

2:00

So, we've really turned her around. So,

2:02
