Dizziness & Vertigo in Chicago
How We Help Dizziness & Vertigo!
Dizziness can describe several different sensations, including feeling lightheaded, unsteady, faint, or off balance. Vertigo more specifically refers to the sensation that you or your surroundings are spinning or moving when no actual movement is occurring.
These symptoms can make everyday activities such as standing, walking, exercising, working, or driving more difficult. Depending on the cause, dizziness or vertigo may also occur alongside nausea, motion sensitivity, balance problems, or feelings of disorientation.
At Progressive Acupuncture Wellness Center in Lincoln Park, we provide individualized acupuncture care that may be used as a complementary approach to help manage certain symptoms associated with dizziness and vertigo, including nausea, discomfort, tension, and stress.
Because dizziness and vertigo can have many different causes, determining the underlying cause is important. Acupuncture does not correct every cause of vertigo or directly restore inner-ear or vestibular function. Instead, it may be incorporated as a complementary approach for symptom management and overall wellness.
Your care plan can be tailored around your symptoms, health history, triggers, activity level, and wellness goals. When appropriate, medical evaluation may also be recommended to help determine why dizziness or vertigo is occurring.

WHAT OUR PATIENTS ARE SAYING
How Can Dizziness & Vertigo Affect Daily Life?
Frequent dizziness or vertigo can interfere with mobility, independence, work, exercise, driving, and other everyday activities. Balance problems can also increase the risk of falls, particularly when symptoms occur suddenly or while walking.
Dizziness or vertigo may be associated with:
- Spinning or moving sensations
- Lightheadedness
- Nausea or motion sensitivity
- Loss of balance or unsteadiness
- Increased risk of falls
- Difficulty walking or exercising
- Difficulty driving safely
- Stress or anxiety related to recurring symptoms
- Reduced quality of life
Conditions such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), Ménière's disease, vestibular neuritis, medication effects, migraine, and other medical conditions can cause dizziness or vertigo. These are possible causes rather than consequences of leaving vertigo untreated.
New, severe, persistent, or unexplained dizziness should be medically evaluated. Seek immediate medical attention when dizziness or vertigo occurs with symptoms such as sudden weakness or numbness, difficulty speaking, severe headache, fainting, chest pain, difficulty walking, vision changes, or other sudden neurological symptoms.
At Progressive Acupuncture Wellness Center, acupuncture may be incorporated into an individualized wellness plan to help manage certain symptoms associated with dizziness or vertigo while complementing appropriate medical care.
