What is dizziness?
Dizziness is often described as a sensation of spinning or feeling off balance. You might feel like the room is moving around you, or as if you’re moving when you’re actually still. It can cause symptoms such as blurred vision, nausea, or even a sense that you might fall. Many people compare it to feeling seasick or light-headed.
Causes of dizziness
There are several possible causes of dizziness. Below are some of the most common ones.
Vertigo
With vertigo, you feel as if you or the world around you is spinning. This usually happens when there’s a disturbance in how your balance system (the vestibular system) functions.
Dizziness when standing up
If you feel dizzy when standing up, and sometimes also when bending down, it may be related to low blood pressure or changes in blood flow when you change position.
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo or positional dizziness (BPPV)
Positional vertigo, also known as BPPV and positional dizziness, is a common type of spinning dizziness. It feels as if everything around you is moving or rotating. The cause lies in the inner ear’s balance system, where tiny calcium crystals (called otoliths) become dislodged and irritate the sensory cells. This can trigger short bursts of vertigo, especially during certain head movements.
Dizziness when lying down
Feeling dizzy while lying down is often related to the inner ear. It may be caused by BPPV, where loose crystals move around in the balance organ, or by cervicogenic dizziness, which originates from tension or dysfunction in the neck.
Dizziness and high blood pressure
High blood pressure can also cause dizziness. When your blood vessels are under increased pressure, blood flow to the smaller vessels in the brain may be reduced. This can lead to a feeling of vertigo, light-headedness or a spinning sensation.
Dizziness during pregnancy
It’s also common to experience dizziness during pregnancy, especially in the first and second trimesters. As your body adjusts, your blood vessels widen, which can lower your blood pressure. This may cause dizziness when standing up quickly or standing for long periods. In some cases, low iron levels can also contribute to dizziness during pregnancy.
Sudden episodes of dizziness in the elderly
Some elderly people experience sudden episodes of dizziness. This can have several different causes. It may be related to blood pressure changes such as a sudden drop in blood pressure when standing up, or to problems in the inner ear, such as BPPV (positional vertigo). Heart rhythm disturbances, certain medications, or neurological conditions like a stroke can also be factors. Because there are many possible causes, it’s important for elderly people experiencing sudden dizziness to consult a doctor for a medical evaluation.
Chronic dizziness
Chronic dizziness means you’ve been dealing with dizziness or balance problems for several weeks or even months. This can result from a variety of underlying issues, many of which we’ve discussed above. Since chronic dizziness tends to come and go over time, it’s essential to identify and address the root cause so it can be properly addressed.
Symptoms of dizziness: what kinds of dizziness are there?
When people talk about the symptoms of dizziness, they often describe sensations such as spinning, light-headedness, or the feeling that the world is moving around them. These symptoms can also be accompanied by other complaints such as nausea or jaw tension (teeth clenching) that appear together with dizziness.
Dizziness and headaches
Dizziness and headaches often occur together because the parts of the brain that regulate balance and pain are closely connected. In many cases, this combination is linked to migraine. However, tension headaches can also appear alongside dizziness. Muscle tension in the neck can trigger headaches, but it can also affect blood flow in the area which may lead to dizziness.
Dizziness and tinnitus
Dizziness and tinnitus often occur together because the inner ear is responsible for both hearing and balance. If something affects the auditory nerve, it can cause both dizziness and ringing in the ears. This can happen with conditions such as Ménière’s disease or labyrinthitis. However, there can also be different, unrelated causes such as tinnitus due to hearing damage combined with dizziness from another issue.
If you suddenly become dizzy and experience ringing in your ears for the first time, contact your doctor right away to prevent possible hearing damage.
Chiropractic treatment for dizziness
The treatment for dizziness focuses on finding and addressing the root cause of your symptoms. That’s why we begin with a thorough assessment to determine what’s the underlying cause of your dizziness. We evaluate your balance and posture and check your spine for any tension that may be causing interference in your nervous system.
Through gentle, targeted adjustments, we help release this tension, improving both your posture and the function of your nervous system. This improves the function of your neck and allows clearer communication between your brain and body. As a result, episodes of dizziness become less frequent, allowing you to move freely and confidently again.
Treatment for vertigo
The treatment for vertigo depends on its underlying cause. That’s why we always start by identifying what’s triggering your symptoms. Based on our findings, we create a personalised care plan designed to bring lasting results.
Treatment for Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
Our treatment for Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) has two parts. First, we gently release tension in your spine to improve posture and restore optimal nervous system function. Then, we guide you through specific BPPV exercises to help move the loose crystals out of your inner ear canals. Together, these steps help relieve your symptoms and restore balance naturally.
Treatment for dizziness in the elderly
The treatment for dizziness in elderly people begins with a thorough examination to determine the cause. Once we know what’s behind the dizziness, we use precise chiropractic adjustments to ease tension in the spine. This helps improve posture, enhances stability, and supports the body’s ability to stay balanced, decreasing dizziness and vertigo.
The results you can expect from chiropractic treatment for dizziness
How quickly you notice results from chiropractic treatment for dizziness depends on the cause of your symptoms. Some people experience improvement after just a few sessions, while for others it may take a little longer. The beauty of this approach is that it doesn’t just help with dizziness. As your spine and nervous system begin to function better, your body’s natural ability to heal is supported. This often leads to improvements in other areas of your health, helping you feel fitter, more energised, and more balanced overall.
When should you see a chiropractor for dizziness?
It’s a good idea to visit a chiropractor for dizziness once neurological causes have been ruled out. The sooner you start care, the easier it is for your body to relearn healthy movement and balance patterns, helping you recover more quickly and naturally.
Physiotherapy or chiropractic for dizziness?
If you’re experiencing dizziness, you can choose to see either a physiotherapist or a chiropractor, it depends on what fits you best. Physiotherapy often focuses on exercises that improve movement, posture, and muscle tension. For example, a physiotherapist can teach specific manoeuvres for positional dizziness (BPPV) to help move the loose crystals in your inner ear back into place.
Chiropractic care takes things a step further by addressing the deeper cause of your dizziness. We focus on how your spine and nervous system work together, improving the communication between the two so your body can heal and function more effectively. This not only helps relieve dizziness but can also reduce other health issues and bring lasting balance to your body.

During your first appointment, we take the time to understand your health concerns and create a personalised care plan. This initial visit usually lasts around 30-45 minutes. Once we know what your body needs, the follow-up visits are shorter and more focused. You’ll first have a moment to relax on the table before the chiropractor begins the adjustments. These adjustments give your body exactly what it needs to support the self-healing process. So even though each session only lasts at most about 10 minutes, the healing process continues long after you leave the practice.
Yes, chiropractic care is very safe when performed by a qualified chiropractor. At Solar, every adjustment is delivered with precision, presence, and respect for your body’s natural rhythms. We don’t force or manipulate, we work with your body to help it find balance again. Research shows that chiropractic care is among the safest forms of healthcare available, and is far safer than common medications like ibuprofen. Our approach is gentle, specific, and focused on restoring proper function to your spine and nervous system. Most people experience chiropractic as deeply relaxing and even restorative, a way to reconnect with their body and support its innate capacity to heal and thrive.

What to expect
Your first visit
We’ll take the time to get to know you and explore how we can best support your health and healing. This comprehensive consultation includes a holistic health questionnaire, physical examination, posture scans, and a personal conversation about your health goals. If we determine that we can help you, you’ll receive a gentle chiropractic adjustment tailored to your body’s needs.
Intensive phase
In this stage, we focus on restoring balance in your spine and nervous system through precise, effective adjustments. The sessions are short yet powerful. Repetition is key as it helps teach your brain new, healthier neurological patterns. During this phase, we usually see you twice per week.
Stabilisation phase
Your body begins to adapt to its new balance. Muscles, discs, ligaments, and connective tissues get the chance to heal and strengthen. This will help prevent your body from slipping back into old, protective patterns. To support this process, adjustments are usually scheduled once per week.
Wellness care
We continue to support your health for as long as you feel it is best serving you. Just like eating well, moving your body, and giving yourself time to rest, regular chiropractic care is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. Together, we’ll decide the rhythm that works best for you and your goals.
Even more insurers reimburse chiropractic care through their supplementary insurance. Want to know what your insurer covers? Check your insurer’s coverage.
