Several of my clients and students have had vertigo. It held them back, temporarily, from doing some things they loved, and from moving as much as they’d like.
Sometimes vertigo is caused by poor posture. For example, if someone’s upper back is too hunched, they have to look up to see in front of them. This can pinch the nerves or blood flow from reaching the head.
Sometimes, though, vertigo is caused by deeper problems with the inner ear, or other internal imbalances.

All about the needles...Acupuncture needles are solid, stainless steel, and have rounded tips. They are designed to go into muscle but not nerves or veins. Western needles are slanted and hollow, designed to take or insert fluids into the body.
Traditional Chinese Medicine can help with degenerative disc disease (which is not a disease!), back pain, joint pain and musculoskeletal pain.
