What caused your Vertigo?

Have you ever experienced or felt that you or your surroundings were moving or spinning? If you have, then you have fallen victim to a vertigo attack. Vertigo attacks happen when you have a sudden feeling that you yourself and the environment surrounding you are in motion. Though many have took vertigo to just be some kind of common dizzy spell, it is not. In fact, it is very far from that. Unlike common dizzy spells, vertigo actually gives you the illusion of motion. This is why you can feel that you or your surroundings are moving even if everything is completely still.

There are two types of vertigo: subjective and objective. You experience subjective vertigo when you feel as if you yourself are moving. Inversely, you experience objective vertigo when you feel as if your surroundings are in motion.

Vertigo may be considered a condition in itself but it is actually also a symptom of other conditions. This means that when you have vertigo, you could actually be suffering from a more severe condition and you must seek chiropractic treatment services immediately.
