What is it?
The ringing in the ears, dizziness and vertigo, no son una enfermedad en sí, sino que son manifestaciones de otra afección que puede estar relacionada con la columna cervical o el oído interno.
Tinnitus, commonly tinnitus, ringing in the ears, is a sound that occurs in the listener's ear and has no external origin.
Por su parte, el mareo es explicado por muchos personas como una sensación de desvanecimiento, desequilibrio o de estar flotando. En ocasiones, la persona siente que ella o los objetos que tiene a su alrededor están girando e incluso siente náuseas y dolor de cabeza. A este tipo de mareo se le conoce como vértigo.
Causes
Generally, the main cause of dizziness and vertigo is usually a problem in the first and second cervical (C1/C2) que están relacionadas con la postura y el equilibrio. Cuando estos manifestaciones están acompañados de zumbido en los oídos, puede deberse a que las vértebras hayan perdido su posición original y estén presionando los nervios del oído.
However, in the majority of cases, they are due to inner ear disorders and more specifically from the semicircular canals, the saccule or the utricle, which are the structures that inform the brain about position and balance.
The Ménière's disease, cuyos manifestaciones característicos son oídos tapados y mareos, acompañados de tinnitus (zumbidos), vértigo, náuseas, vómitos y pérdida de la audición; es otra de las causas más comunes y se produce por una afectación en el oído interno.
Other common causes include whiplash, migraines, falls, injuries, sudden movements, exposure to loud noise, earwax build-up and even certain medications.
No existe una definición única para explicar los mareos porque estos pueden ser percibidos de forma diferente de un persona a otro, pero por lo general, el persona you feel you are going to fall or lose your balance.
When the a sense of spinning is present, we are dealing with vertigo, which may be accompanied by other manifestations such as pressure in the head, blocked ears, nausea and even vomiting.
The buzzing sounds are expressed in the form of whistling, noise or dizziness in the ear. These sounds do not occur in the external environment and in most cases are only heard by the person who suffers from them.
Prevention
The best way to prevent dizziness, vertigo and ringing in the ears is to taking care of the cervical vertebrae, The reason for this is that, as we have already explained, they are usually caused by a problem in them.
Para cuidarse a nivel cervical y minimizar los manifestaciones, es recomendable no hacer movimientos bruscos en el cuello ni levantar mucho peso, porque esto puede hacer que las vértebras pierden su posición original.
In addition, the chiropractic plays an important role in its prevention because it seeks to correct in time any displacements that may put pressure on the nerves of the inner ear. At Salud Quiropráctica de Valencia, y Alzira, We detect the problem and correct it so that you do not run the risk of suffering from dizziness, vertigo and tinnitus for cervical reasons.
There are two types of vertigo:
Central
is caused by an injury to the brain and manifests itself with headaches, unsteadiness and double vision.
Peripheral
the most common; following a problem in the inner ear. In the latter case, the spinning sensation is stronger and is accompanied by nausea and vomiting.
Diagnosis
Cuando un persona manifiesta los manifestaciones, el médico se enfoca en determinar la causa, para esto, se formulan una serie de preguntas que permitan to know the clinical picture and rule out possible causes.
The medical tests consist in most cases of a otorhinolaryngological examination to detect problems in the middle ear. In other cases, CT scans or MRI scans may be needed if previous tests have failed to find the cause.
It is also common to make a physical examination which consists of the exploration of the vertebrae to find displacements of the vertebrae.
Treatment
Cuando la causa del problema radica en una mala postura o una subluxación, los fármacos carecen de utilidad, y por lo general se recomienda al persona estar en reposo con los ojos cerrados.
No obstante, El abordaje más eficaz consiste en getting the vertebrae back in place and allow nerve impulses to be transmitted normally, thus eliminating dizziness, vertigo and ringing in the ears.
