Dizziness / Vertigo
With acupuncture, one can achieve significant relief within 6 treatments, which is twice a week visit for 3 weeks. The total treatment up to 2 or 3 months may be necessary to eliminate at least 80% of it. Even chronic dizziness persistent for years can still improve.
Common symptoms are spinning sensation, dizziness, lightheadedness, nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, and headache.
Below are the four types of dizziness this clinic has been successful in treating.
Positional vertigo is a condition that causes a sudden, brief sensation of spinning or dizziness when the head is moved into certain positions. Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common cause, where tiny calcium crystals (otoconia) become dislodged from their normal position in the inner ear.
Orthostatic hypotension, also known as postural hypotension, is a condition where blood pressure drops significantly when a person stands up from a sitting or lying position.
Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is a condition characterized by an excessive increase in heart rate (tachycardia) upon standing or sitting upright.
Vasovagal syncope is a common type of fainting caused by a reflex response in the nervous system. It occurs when the body overreacts to certain triggers, leading to a drop in blood pressure and heart rate, resulting in loss of consciousness.
