A person with vertigo has the illusion that the room is spinning or their own body is spinning. The motion with vertigo is rotational and one way (unidirectional).
There is a small distinction with the perception of this motion, says Drs Kenton and Sara Lawson. In objective vertigo, the patient feels it is the environment revolving around him while in subjective vertigo, it is the other way around- the patient feels he is the one turning among his surroundings.
There is a very important distinction between vertigo and dizziness. In dizziness, patients in NC feel a loss of balance, light-headedness or nausea but there is no motion perception.
Here’s what your Asheville Chiropractor will do: get your history, examine you thoroughly and let you undergo neurological and orthopaedic tests to find out what is really causing your vertigo and dizziness. Then they will develop a specific plan of management tailored to your case.
