Dr. Skrien breaks down what he does in the clinic each week, sharing real insights and tips to help you better understand your care.

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

2:05
