Balance Problems

What’s your balance like, do you feel dizzy? Click here to take a test…

Balance problems can cause feelings of disorientation, vertigo and dizziness. We rely on balance in everything that we do — from walking to work to going to sleep — so lacking it can be very debilitating.

As a chiropractor with a special interest in balance, I can help those who suffer from vertigo, nausea and feeling faint with vestibular rehabilitation in Auckland.

What are Balance Problems?

Balance problems can be loosely explained as a feeling of spinning, vertigo, or dizziness. However, different people experience balance problems in different ways. Many people describe it as a feeling of:

• Lightheadedness
• Faintness
• Nausea
• Unsteadiness
• Disorientation
• Feeling wobbly

It’s frightening when you lose your balance, which can be a constant feeling for those whose balance systems aren’t communicating correctly.

Causes of Balance Problems

Control of your balance depends on integrating three systems: your inner ear semicircular canals, your visual system and responses from your joints and muscles.

Balance problems happen when any of these systems doesn’t work correctly - either on their own or in the way they communicate with each other. As a chiropractor with a particular interest in dizziness and vertigo, I take a functional approach to assess which parts of your nervous system and body are involved and then work out what can be done to improve it.
