New Study at Nagoya University Offers Valuable Insights
Last March 2022, a study on PPPD was published by esteemed clinical researchers from Nagoya University. The study aimed to help PPPD and vertigo sufferers like you assess your risks and find out how you can move forward despite having a debilitating symptom.
After all, vertigo episodes can be quite nightmarish to have. Just imagine all the days you have to cancel plans with families and friends because you struggle to determine if you’re truly moving and spinning around. Indeed, an out-of-whack vestibular and nervous system can do so much damage to your life.
To make things worst, researchers from Nagoya University found that people with persistent and hard-to-treat vertigo episodes early on in life often develop PPPD. Additionally, they found three exacerbating factors in patients: upright posture, movement, and visual stimulation.

Upright Posture and Vertigo Attacks
At Upper Cervical Chiropractic San Diego, we often remind our patients of the value of keeping an upright posture through gentle upper cervical chiropractic adjustments. Additionally, we emphasize how injuries that hurt your neck and head in previous years can come back to haunt you.
They can cause undetected posture changes that compromise the spine and impact your nervous system – two critical structures of your body that play a pivotal role in maintaining your health.
So, we strongly recommend asking yourself questions like “did I get hurt in the neck or head during childhood?” “was I ever in an accident that cause concussions or whiplash?”. Think back to the moments when you took your neck or head trauma for granted.
Then, think of your current balance and vestibular problems (PPPD, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo episodes, Meniere’s disease, etc.) today.
Numerous case studies have proven that balance and nervous system problems can stem from a postural imbalance in the Upper Cervical spine. Notably, even the slightest change to the alignment of your atlas and axis bones can have long-term repercussions on your health, such as:
- Impaired brain signal transmission
- Poor nervous system health
- Stiffened neck muscles and joints
- Compromised posture
- Head tilting at an awkward angle
- Poor fluid flow and drainage to your head
When combined, these problems can set off a myriad of health concerns ranging from vertigo episodes to chronic fatigue and burning nerve pain.
