My Head is Spinning! Vertigo and Dizziness…

Posted on November 10, 2008 @ 2:32 am

Mot of us take the ability to stand upright for granted. In fact, we can stand still without needing to hold on to something for support.

Healthy people can do most of that thanks to our amazing balance system.

But unfortunately, the balance system does not always function right and when it stops functioning we experience a feeling called vertigo or dizziness (I’ll talk about it as the same thing here because the cause is the same although these two feelings are experienced in a different way).

We’ve all felt dizziness and had vertigo at some time in our life. Be it from sailing in bad waves, driving on a dusty road, traveling to a high altitude or even having a few too many at the bar (I could tell you some stories).

Fortunately, the feeling doesn’t tend to last long for the majority.

However, thousands of people suffer from what is called chronic vertigo / dizziness. If you suffer from this condition, you either constantly feel dizzy or you get dizzy several times a year, month or even week – often without any obvious reason.

This kind of chronic vertigo/dizziness is caused by problems with the balance system.

Below are the three balance systems we all have

ears eyes body sense

Even if one of these systems is adversely affected, we can still continue to function.

We need to exercise all three sytems though, because we are not so fortunate when more than one of our balance systems is experiencing problems.

Getting the balance systems strong involves some choreography if you will.

You see, 90% of the time, dizziness and vertigo are caused by tension in the muscles around our balance system – the eyes, the ears or the body line from the top of our skull to the pelvic bone.

For example if you have tension in the eye muscles, then your eye’s balance system conceives the world in just a tiny bit different way than your ear’s balance system does.

The brain is then trying to process a variation of information coming from the two perceptions. This results in a dizzy feeling.

If you’ve ever tried eyeglasses that are too strong for you, you know exactly what I mean.

A perfectly functioning balance system in the ears and body would help you continue functioning when the eyes are not up to par. However, normally, dizziness still occurs because it just is not likely that both of the other systems will be in perfect balance.

If the muscles tied to each balance system are loose and strong though, you can function properly.

My vertio and dizziness program are designed to accomplish exactly this. Each balance system does not have to be at 100%. If each one is well above average, complete relief can be attained.
