Natural Vertigo Relief: Finding Balance in More Ways Than One

Feeling dizzy, disoriented, or like the room is spinning isn’t just frustrating—it can be unsettling and even traumatic. Vertigo can interfere with daily life and is a signal that your body is asking for deeper support. 

At Hope and Healing Naturopathic, we understand that vertigo is your body’s way of telling you that something is out of balance—both physically and emotionally.  Our goal is to uncover the ‘why’ behind this imbalance and help you feel more grounded, clear, and steady again.

Vertigo is commonly described as a sensation of spinning or swaying, even while remaining still. It can occur on its own or with nausea, fatigue, visual changes, headaches, or anxiety. Episodes can strike for seconds or linger for days, affecting work, relationships, and every aspect of life.

While a label like BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo) is common, it doesn’t explain why the issue is happening—or what’s contributing to it. We listen and look deeper.  By identifying root causes and restoring balance, we support your body’s ability to heal so you can live without vertigo.

Common Causes

Vertigo may be caused or worsened by one or a combination of the following factors:

• *Stress and nervous system dysregulation: It is very common for acute or chronic emotional or physical stressors to dysregulate your nervous system and disrupt your sense of balance.
  
• Acute illness (viral infections, sinus or ear infections), inflammation, allergies: Our body doesn’t randomly create inflammation, mucus, or congestion for no reason.  It’s important to figure out why the body is mounting a response affecting the vestibular system vs. suppressing symptoms with medications.
  
• Electrolyte imbalances or dehydration: Even mild dehydration can affect blood pressure and nerve signaling, leading to dizziness.
  
• Medication side effects: Certain medications (such as blood pressure drugs, antidepressants, or sedatives) can interfere with balance.
  
• Food intolerances or inflammatory diets: When we eat foods that are difficult for our body to digest, this contributes to toxemia and systemic inflammation.  As mentioned above, inflammatory processes can contribute to vertigo. 
  
• Toxemia: A build-up of metabolic waste or environmental toxicants can happen because of compromised detoxification pathways, excess exposure, or both.  This produces systemic inflammation which can lead to vertigo.

Limitations of Conventional Care

In conventional medicine, vertigo is often managed with medications such as antihistamines, benzodiazepines, anti-nausea drugs, or vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT). While these tools may help some patients in the short term, they often fail to address the root causes of the imbalance.

A common limitation of the allopathic model is the lack of integration and communication between specialties.  ENTs may focus only on ear or sinus issues without addressing the nervous system, while neurologists may focus solely on the brain, overlooking the digestive tract or structural abnormalities. This can leave many patients feeling frustrated, dismissed, and without long-term relief.

Our Whole-Person Approach to Vertigo Relief

We approach vertigo differently—because your body is more than just systems and symptoms. Your body is brilliantly designed to heal, and our role is to uncover what’s causing it, then support your body’s ability to recover and regain balance.

Here’s how we help patients heal:

• Personalized Dietary Guidance – To give your body the best chance to heal, it’s important to fuel it with proper nutrition.  Even those eating what most consider a “healthy” diet may be unknowingly consuming foods that their body can’t properly digest.  With just a few drops of blood, it’s possible to identify your food intolerances that may be creating internal toxemia and inflammation.
  
• Internal Support – Supporting underlying weaknesses such as poor gut integrity, sluggish detox pathways, or an overwhelmed nervous system is foundational to healing.  This may involve:
  • A powder to help repair leaky gut junctions, reducing inflammation, allergies, digestive concerns, and vertigo.  
  • A homeopathic remedy to promote healing on deep physical, emotional, and energetic levels to resolve vertigo.  
  • Acupuncture to relax, balance, and harmonize meridians.
  • Targeted nutrients to resolve deficiencies and support detox pathways.
  • Proper hydration and electrolyte balancing to improve cellular health.
  • Scalar and frequency based devices to reduce inflammation, add cellular voltage for increased healing, and promote vagus nerve activation.
    
• Nervous System Regulation – At the root of vertigo, we often find a dysregulated nervous system. Whether caused by acute physical stress, suppressed trauma, or chronic mental stress, strain on the nervous system can trigger physical symptoms including vertigo.  Many are surprised to learn that vertigo can resolve by releasing stored emotional trauma.  We see it often, and quickly with these techniques:
  • Neuro Emotional Technique (NET):  Helps release subconscious stress or trauma contributing to physical issues, anxiety, or chronic stress patterns.
• • Quantum Neuro Reset Therapy (QNRT):  Resets the brain and nervous system by identifying and clearing emotional stress patterns that may be contributing to physical or neurological symptoms.

You Don’t Have to Struggle Feeling Woozy or Off Balance

Vertigo can make even simple tasks like walking, driving, or moving your head feel overwhelming.

Whether vertigo is a new challenge or something you’ve dealt with for years, there is hope.  We help you resolve blocks to healing and restore physical and emotional stability so you can live life without vertigo.  We have seen many patients go from feeling hopeless and disoriented to grounded and free—often with just a few targeted interventions that help you re-balance.

If you’re ready to stop spinning and start healing, we’re here to guide you.  Call 602-836-HOPE to learn what’s keeping you off balance—and find your center again.
