Welcome to Axon Integrative Health, where we take a holistic approach to managing balance and dizziness. Axon utilizes a comprehensive brain-body-mind approach to address all aspects affected by balance disorders and dizziness.
Balance is 3 Equal Parts: Proprioception, Vision, and Vestibular
Balance is a complex system that relies on three equally important components:
- Proprioception: The sense of body position and movement.
- Vision: Visual input that helps orient us in space.
- Vestibular: The inner ear system that helps control balance and eye movements.
Common Challenges in Balance and Dizziness
All too commonly, we see patients who have been dizzy or off balance for years despite exhaustive efforts of “vestibular rehab” because the issue lies in one of the other thirds of the balance system, or in the communication between these three systems and the brain. Understanding and addressing these interactions is key to effective treatment.
The Cerebellum: Emotions and Learning Implications in Balance and Movement
The cerebellum, a critical part of the brain responsible for coordinating movement and balance, also plays a role in emotions and learning. Dysfunction in the cerebellum can lead to balance issues and dizziness, affecting overall well-being and cognitive function.
Other Causes of Dizziness
Dizziness can also arise from various other factors, including:
- Dysfunctional Autonomic Nervous System: Poor blood flow to the brain due to autonomic dysfunction.
- Cardiogenic Issues: Heart-related problems that affect circulation.
- Blood Sugar Regulation: Fluctuations in blood sugar levels can impact balance and cause dizziness.
At Axon Integrative Health, we help determine and treat these underlying causes to provide comprehensive relief.
