Dizziness & vertigo
Vertigo, positional dizziness, and Meniere's-type symptoms — approached with acupuncture and herbal medicine at AHC Chicago.
Overview
About dizziness & vertigo
Dizziness spans several distinct conditions: BPPV (positional), vestibular migraine, Meniere's, and orthostatic patterns. TCM differentiates these largely by trigger and accompanying symptoms, mapping them to Liver Yang rising, Phlegm-Damp, or Kidney deficiency patterns. A clear diagnosis shapes both point selection and herbal choice.
Treatment
How we treat it
Acupuncture with a focus on head and neck points, combined with herbal formulas for the identified pattern, typically produces meaningful improvement within 4–8 weeks. Patients with a diagnosis from an ENT can share those findings; we integrate them into our treatment planning.
