My Head is Spinning! Vertigo and Dizziness...

By Christian Goodman

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.

Notwithstanding specific impairments, the human balance system allows us to do this.

Vertigo or dizziness results from a balance system that is not functioning properly. I will refer to these conditions as the same as the problems for both originate from the same source.

Vertigo or dizziness has affected everyone at some point. You can relate if you've ever had a head cold or other head ailment that left you a little unbalanced. Having a or rather several cocktails can certainly make a person unsteady too.

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

Chronic dizziness or vertigo affects a huge number of people. They experience this unsteady feeling daily or at least many times throughout the year.

An improperly functioning balance system causes the chronic dizziness or vertigo.

Our three balance systems are located in the

ears eyes body sense

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

However, if two or even three of those balance systems become ineffective, we have a big problem. That is why it is so important to strengthen all three balance systems even if one or two are too weak to completely heal them.

So how do we strengthen our balance system?

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.

Eye muscles suffering from tension will create a somewhat different balance perception than the ear's balance system is perceiving.

The unsteady feeling is the result of the brain trying to process these different perceptions.

Having your eyes dilated is a good example of this occurance.

Relying on two of the three balance systems to function at peak performance when one is not, is not a good bet. So, vertigo or dizziness still result when just one balance system is suffering.

The solution is to strengthen and loosen up all muscles around all your balance systems - as well as strengthening your body's balance awareness.

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.
