dizziness treatment

Have you ever felt “woozy” or lightheaded? You are not alone!

Dizziness is a subjective term that describes the feeling of lightheadedness, disorientation, unsteadiness, or feeling like the world is spinning. 

Almost everyone has felt lightheaded in their life however for some people- it can interfere with their daily activities and cause concerns. Dizziness is one of the most common complaints from patients. In a study on the prevalence of dizziness, Dr. R. Teggi from San Raffaele Scientific Institute, Milan, Italy, states, “Vertigo and dizziness are common symptoms in the general population, with an estimated prevalence between 20% and 56%.”  

This means that between 2 and 5 out of 10 people will get dizziness and vertigo in their lifetime. You may have experienced dizziness but not know exactly what type. By the subjective descriptions of the term dizziness, we can pinpoint the 4 most common types. They are:

  • Vertigo
  • Disequilibrium
  • Presyncope
  • Lightheadedness

Conventional medicine often treats dizziness with medication that can worsen the matter, but a holistic approach to treating dizziness is multidimensional and offers a root-cause solution!

By incorporating dietary changes, herbal remedies, supplements, stress management, and other holistic practices such as chiropractic care- all managed by an experienced Functional Medicine expert, you can be on a path to a full recovery!

In this article, we discuss the holistic ways you can solve dizziness! Keep on reading to uncover natural ways to help your dizziness and restore your balance and vitality!

What Is Dizziness?

Dizziness is a term that describes various sensations of unsteadiness, disorientation, or lightheadedness

It can make you feel off balance, faint, or as though the world is spinning (a specific type of dizziness called vertigo). The sensation of dizziness can range from mild to severe and may be brief or persistent, depending on its underlying cause.

Dizziness is one of the most common symptoms that people notice at some point in their life. 

In a study on the epidemiological aspects of dizziness, Dr. Hannelore K. Neuhauser from the Robert Koch Institute, Berlin, Germany, states “Dizziness (including vertigo and nonvestibular dizziness) ranks among the most common complaints in medicine, affecting 20 to 30% of the general population.”

What Are The Symptoms of Dizziness?

The symptoms of dizziness are described as feeling “woozy”, unbalanced, nauseous, or like the world is spinning around them.

Symptoms of dizziness vary widely, as it is a broad term that can mean different things to different people. Sometimes people actually mean that they are feeling weak, anxious, or fatigued when they mention the term “dizzy”.

In the book Clinical Methods: The History, Physical, and Laboratory Examinations, in Chapter 212, Dr. Brendan M. Reilly from the Geisel School of Medicine, Dartmouth, Hanover, New Hampshire, USA states “Dizzy” can describe so many different sensations that the clinician’s priority must be to pin down what each patient means by it.” 

This means that healthcare professionals need to ask the patient to describe what they are feeling in detail. Most often, by the patients’ description of dizziness, we can identify 4 types of dizziness:

types of dizziness
  • Vertigo: A feeling like the world around you is moving or spinning. Some people describe it as feeling like they’ve just stepped out of a merry-go-round, or like being on a rocking boat. In a study on vertigo, Dr. Monica Stanton from Campbell University School of Osteopathic Medicine, North Carolina, USA, states “It [Vertigo] is a symptom of vestibular dysfunction and has been described as a sensation of motion, most commonly rotational motion.”

    This means that this type of dizziness happens due to inner ear issues with the balancing system (the vestibular system) or conditions like benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)
  • Disequilibrium: A feeling of unsteadiness or imbalance, typically affecting walking or standing. Walking or moving makes disequilibrium worse. This is commonly seen in older adults and those with neurological conditions.
  • Presyncope: A sense that you are about to faint, sometimes accompanied by sweating, nausea, or blurry vision. If you have fainted, it is called “syncope”. When someone says they feel like they are going to pass out but they don’t faint, it’s sometimes tricky for doctors to know if it’s true presyncope or another type of dizziness. It often occurs due to cardiovascular issues like arrhythmias or blood pressure fluctuations.
  • Lightheadedness: It’s a type of unspecific dizziness that is harder to describe. It’s a kind of vague dizziness that doesn’t feel like spinning, losing balance, or fainting. Some people say it feels like their head isn’t attached, or like their “floating” or “high”. It can happen if you are dehydrated, anemic, or when your blood pressure suddenly drops.

What Causes Dizziness?

Dizziness can have many causes, and understanding the specific cause is important for finding the right treatment that works for you. Here are some common causes for dizziness:

causes of dizziness
  • Dehydration: When your body doesn’t have enough water, it can make you feel lightheaded or faint. 
  • Low Blood Pressure: A sudden drop in blood pressure, especially when standing up quickly, can cause dizziness and a feeling of faintness. In a study conducted over 3 years involving 1291 patients with dizziness, Dr. N. Ohashi from Toyama Medical and Pharmaceutical University, Japan, concludes that “Abnormal blood pressures (hypertension, hypotension, and orthostatic hypotension) were found in 18.67% (241 patients).” This means that 2 out of 10 people with symptoms of dizziness have low blood pressure, high blood pressure, or sudden drops in blood pressure).
  • Inner Ear Problems: The inner ear has a system that controls balance called the vestibular system. Therefore, issues like infections, inflammation, or conditions like vertigo can create a spinning sensation. Disorders that affect the inner ear such as Meniere’s disease and labyrinthitis can also cause dizziness. 
  • Low Blood Sugar: This can happen if you haven’t eaten in a while or if you have diabetes and your blood sugar drops too low, causing weakness or dizziness. 
  • Dysfunction of cervical proprioception: Issues with the body’s ability to sense the position and movement of the neck. The neck (cervical spine) plays a key role in maintaining balance, spatial awareness, and coordination. Dysfunction in cervical proprioception can cause dizziness, unsteadiness, poor posture, neck pain, and headaches.
  • Heart Conditions: Issues like arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats) can affect blood flow and lead to dizziness. 
  • Stress and Anxiety: These can trigger a sense of light-headedness or an “out-of-body” feeling in some people.
  • Medications: Certain medications, like blood pressure or anxiety medications, may cause dizziness as a side effect.
  • Hormonal Changes: Hormonal shifts during pregnancy, menstruation, or menopause can cause dizziness. 
  • Brain and nerve-related Disorders: Conditions that affect the brain or nerves, such as migraines or neurological disorders, can cause dizziness and balance issues. 

Can High Blood Pressure Cause Dizziness? 

Yes. High blood pressure can contribute to dizziness, though it’s more commonly associated with sudden drops in blood pressure, known as orthostatic hypotension. These fluctuations can cause a sensation of light-headedness or faintness, particularly in transitioning from a sitting or lying position to standing.

In a study on high blood pressure and dizziness, Dr. Anália Rosário Lopes from the State University of Londrina, Parana, Brazil, states “Our data show a significant association between dizziness and hypertension as well as high prevalence rates of both hypertension and dizziness in this elderly population.”

Additionally, some blood pressure medications can lower the blood pressure too quickly and cause dizziness as a side effect. Monitoring blood pressure and maintaining a balanced diet can often help alleviate dizziness associated with hypertension. 

Holistic Treatments for Dizziness

Holistic treatments for dizziness focus on natural and lifestyle-based approaches that address the underlying causes rather than just treating the symptoms. Dizziness can be caused by various factors, including inner ear issues, dehydration, low blood pressure, stress, or nutritional deficiencies.  

Holistic treatments aim to support and restore the balance in the body and improve circulation, and communication between the body’s systems and its nervous system. From simple lifestyle changes to herbal supplements and mind-body practices, a variety of options exist that can help restore balance and alleviate symptoms.

Dietary Changes for Dizziness Treatment

Diet can play a significant role in managing dizziness, as the foods we eat impact our blood pressure, blood sugar, hydration levels, and overall balance. Incorporating a balanced diet, rich in foods with essential nutrients that support proper nerve function and circulation, is the key to reducing dizziness.

In a study on diet and dizziness, Dr. Adriane Rocha Schultz from the University of Northern Parana, Brazil states “Eating patterns have been considered risk factors for various metabolic and circulatory changes that cause several symptoms including dizziness, especially among elderly individuals.”

Dr. Tony Salamay from the Bay Clinic of Chiropractic has a Master’s in Human Nutrition, along with years of experience and knowledge to guide you through your journey to solving your health issues by using an individualized approach.

In the following sections you can check out our recommendations on what foods to eat and what foods to avoid to alleviate symptoms of dizziness:

foods to eat for dizziness management

Foods to Eat for Dizziness

  • Hydrating Foods: Water-rich fruits and vegetables, such as cucumbers, watermelon, oranges, and leafy greens, can help prevent dehydration-related dizziness. 
  • Whole Grains and Lean Proteins: Foods like oatmeal, brown rice, lean meats, and legumes stabilize blood sugar, preventing dizziness due to lower blood sugar. 
  • Iron-rich foods: Foods like spinach, beans, red meat, and lentils can help prevent anemia-related dizziness by increasing iron levels in the blood. 
  • Vitamin B12 Sources: Eggs, dairy products, fish, and fortified cereals are sources of vitamin B12 which supports nerve health and can reduce dizziness from vitamin deficiencies.
  • Potassium- Rich Foods: Bananas, potatoes, and avocados help regulate blood pressure, reducing the risk of dizziness caused by blood pressure fluctuations. 

Foods to Avoid for Dizziness

  • Salty Foods: Excessive salt, found in processed foods, can soups, and chips can worsen dizziness, especially for those with Meniere’s disease, by disrupting fluid balance. 
  • Sugary Foods and Drinks: Foods high in sugar, like candies, pastries, and sodas, can cause blood sugar spikes followed by sudden drops, leading to dizziness.
  • Caffeine: Coffee, tea, and energy drinks can dehydrate you and affect your inner ear, and balance, potentially triggering dizziness. 
  • Alcohol: Alcohol is dehydrating and can directly impact the inner ear, increasing the risk of dizziness or vertigo. 
  • Artificial Sweeteners: Some artificial sweeteners like aspartame, may trigger dizziness in sensitive individuals.

Herbal Remedies for Dizziness Treatment

Traditional medicine has been using herbs to treat many conditions for centuries and finally, science is backing up thousands of years of common knowledge. Today, more research is proving that herbal remedies have a great effect on the body, and functional medicine implements them in holistic treatments. 

Here are our best 3 herbal remedies if you have symptoms of dizziness:

Ginger

Ginger is a root commonly used in cooking and traditional medicine for its anti-inflammatory and digestive benefits. It has natural anti-nausea properties that can help reduce dizziness, especially when it’s associated with motion sickness, vertigo, or digestive issues. It improves circulation, which may also benefit Those Who Experience dizziness due to poor blood flow. For dizziness, a typical dose is one gram of ginger powder divided into two doses per day. You can also make ginger tea by steeping one-inch pieces of fresh ginger in hot water for 5 to 10 minutes.

Ginkgo Biloba

Ginkgo biloba is an ancient herbal remedy made from the leaves of the ginkgo tree, commonly used for improving memory and circulation. It is thought to improve blood flow to the brain and inner ear, which can help reduce dizziness, particularly when linked to balance disorder or poor circulation. It can be especially beneficial for those with vertical or age-related balance issues. The common dose for dizziness is 120 to 240 mg of ginkgo biloba extract, taken in 3 divided doses daily. It may take several weeks to notice the full benefits, as the herb needs time to work on circulation and inner ear function.

Peppermint

Peppermint is an aromatic herb used for its cooling effect and soothing qualities on digestion and nausea. Peppermint’s natural calming properties make it helpful for reducing dizziness associated with nausea or anxiety. It can also help relieve headaches, which sometimes accompany dizziness. You can sip on peppermint tea as needed, or you can inhale peppermint essential oil,  or use diluted peppermint oil on the temples for additional relief.

Supplements for Dizziness Treatment

Supplements are a great way to address nutrient deficiency or support your body. Here are our recommendations for supplements for dizziness:

Vitamin B12

Vitamin V12 is an essential vitamin that supports nerve health, and red blood cell formation, and has a role in energy production. It is found in foods like meat, fish, dairy, and fortified cereals. Low levels of vitamin B12 can lead to anemia and nerve damage, both of which may cause symptoms of dizziness, fatigue, and balance issues.

Vitamin B12 is found in food of animal origin like fish, meat, eggs, and dairy. That’s why people who eat a plant-based (vegan) diet can become deficient in this vitamin, and it is recommended that they regularly take supplements.

Supplementing with vitamin B12 can help restore normal nerve function and reduce dizziness, especially in those with a deficiency. For treating a B12 deficiency dosages range from 500 mcg to 1000 mcg daily.  For general support, the recommended dose is 2.4 mcg daily.

Iron

Iron is a mineral crucial for making hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. Iron is naturally found in foods like red meat, leafy greens, and legumes. Iron deficiency anemia can lead to dizziness, weakness, and fatigue due to reduced oxygen delivery to the brain.

Supplementing iron can help increase hemoglobin levels and improve energy and balance, which alleviates dizziness induced by iron deficiency. For those with an iron deficiency, the dosage is 60 to 120 mg per day, depending on the severity and age. Dosages vary by individual needs, so it’s best to have your iron checked and consult a healthcare professional for proper dosage.

Magnesium

Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in over 300 reactions in the body, including muscle and nerve function, blood pressure regulation, and energy production. Magnesium helps regulate blood pressure and blood flow, which may be beneficial for those experiencing dizziness from vascular issues.

It also supports nervous system health, reducing dizziness related to migrants and anxiety. For general health, the recommended daily intake is 310 to 420 mg for adults. In cases of deficiency, doctors may recommend higher doses.

Stress Management for Dizziness Treatment

Stress can be a significant contributor to dizziness, especially when related to anxiety or tension. Managing stress can reduce dizziness and bring a greater sense of balance and calm. Here are two effective techniques for managing stress-induced dizziness:

Mindfulness and Meditation

Mindfulness is the practice of focusing on the present moment and observing thoughts and sensations without being overly reactive or overwhelmed.

Meditation often involves focused breathing and relaxation to promote a calm, centered state. Stress and anxiety can increase dizziness by triggering the “fight or flight” response, which can make the heart race and blood pressure fluctuate. By reducing anxiety, lowering blood pressure, and calming the nervous system, mindfulness and meditation can help reduce episodes of dizziness linked to stress.

Yoga

Yoga combines physical postures, controlled breathing, and meditation to focus on balance and grounding, which can directly help with dizziness. Practicing yoga promotes better blood flow, relaxation, and mental clarity, which reduces the impact of stress on the body. In addition, gentle movements and balance postures can improve proprioception, making it easier to feel grounded and stable.

Chiropractic Care for Dizziness Treatment

Chiropractic care offers a holistic approach to managing dizziness by addressing underlying spinal muscular and nervous system issues, ultimately helping restore balance and reduce symptoms of dizziness. 

Dr. Tony Salamay from Bay Clinic of Chiropractic is an experienced chiropractor in Panama City, FL who is passionate about a holistic approach to health and can help you solve your issues from the root, without medication or invasive treatment!

Here are some common chiropractic methods used for treating dizziness:

Cervical (Neck) Adjustments

Cervical (neck) adjustments are techniques that chiropractors use to adjust and realign the vertebrae in the cervical spine. These adjustments target areas where misalignments may be causing nervous system interference or disturbing blood flow. Misalignments in the cervical spine can affect balance and proprioception, leading to dizziness. Realigning the spine can improve communication between the brain and the body which can enhance balance and reduce dizziness. 

Vestibular Rehabilitation Exercises

Vestibular rehabilitation exercises are recommended for people with dizziness and balance problems caused by inner ear issues. Chiropractors may guide patients through specific exercises to train the vestibular system. These exercises often include head movements, balance training, and gaze stabilization exercises. 

Soft Tissue Therapy

Soft tissue therapy is a group of techniques such as massage, myofascial release, or trigger point therapy that chiropractors use to release tension in the neck, shoulders, and upper back.  Releasing tight muscles around the neck and shoulders improves blood flow and reduces tension that can cause headaches and dizziness. 

Postural Guidance

Your chiropractor can advise you on proper posture, ergonomic adjustments, and daily exercises. Improving posture can reduce strain on the cervical spine, which can help prevent dizziness related to muscle tension and poor alignment as well as improve blood flow and reduce nerve irritation.

Functional Medicine for Dizziness Treatment

Functional medicine takes a personalized, root-cause approach to treating dizziness by addressing underlying health issues rather than just focusing on the symptoms. 

Dr. Tony Salamay is an expert functional medicine practitioner who can assess a range of potential factors contributing to dizziness. Those include nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, inflammation, and environmental toxins, and then craft a customized treatment plan. 

A functional medicine practitioner, like Dr. Salamay will optimize your diet and nutrition with a balanced diet, rich in essential nutrients. Hormonal testing such as cortisol testing and thyroid function tests can be done to assess hormonal regulation. If needed, those issues will be addressed by lifestyle adjustments, dietary changes, and supplements

Removing toxins from the body by supporting detoxification will reduce inflammation and enhance the function of the nervous system. 

Functional medicine takes into consideration the body as a whole and aims to balance and optimize its performance. Its goal is to treat the cause of your problem in natural ways, not just mask the symptoms with medication like conventional medicine.
