“Vertigo”, a word of Latin origin, means to turn. Its clinical meaning in medical science is"Dizziness". As a result of wrong neurological stimuli coming from the balance systems in our body's structure or incorrect perception of the correct neurological stimuli coming from these systems by the body, imbalances occur in the body's position in space, especially a clinical picture perceived as dizziness occurs.
Vertigo is a type of rotation illusion. It always gets worse with the movement of the head. Loss of consciousness does not occur. The most common cause of recurrent vertigo is called "positional vertigo". For many years, neurological examination of people with recurrent vertigo has been performed. If it is normal, positional vertigo is diagnosed.
In vertigo (positional vertigo), which we briefly defined above, a very high success is achieved with acupuncture treatment. With acupuncture, which is a drug-free and side-effectless treatment, neuronal stimuli are given to regulate the balance systems in the body; False neurological signals occurring in the inner ear-cerebellum-cerebral cortex triangle are corrected and these systems regain their normal physiological functions.
Acupuncture is a treatment that requires patience; The treatment should be continued until the end, with sessions repeated at regular intervals. In the treatment of vertigo, a treatment plan of at least 10-15 sessions should be made, twice a week. The medications the patient uses for vertigo should be discontinued from the moment acupuncture treatment is started.
