The Link Between Vertigo and Vertebral Artery Function

-
Recent research has helped to solidify the link between the proper function of the vertebral arteries and vertigo. The researchers specifically focused on a rare condition called loop formation. It is a disorder where small loops form in the vertebral arteries, thereby restricting blood flow. When a cross-section of vertigo patients was studied, this condition seemed to be more common.

What else can cause kinks in the vertebral arteries leading to reduced blood flow? Does understanding of the conditions that bring vertigo provide information into a natural way to find relief? Read on to learn more.
What Can Reduce Vertebral Blood Flow and Lead to Vertigo?
The upper cervical vertebrae play a major role in facilitating blood flow to the brain. Misalignment of the C1 and C2 vertebrae can result in reduced blood flow. Vertigo is not the only possible condition that may result from this scenario. Migraines are also common when these circumstances exist. This explains why it is so common for a person to have both vertigo and migraines.

Improving Vertebral Blood Flow to Reduce Vertigo
One possible way to restore vertebral blood flow is to ensure that the top bones of the spine are in proper alignment. This calls for seeing an upper cervical chiropractor. We specialize in getting precise measurements of upper cervical subluxations and correcting these with an extremely gentle method that does not involve popping or twisting the back or neck.

Many patients find that once the C1 and C2 are aligned properly, vertigo becomes less severe or may even go away entirely. What can cause these misalignments? Anything from a car accident to a slip and fall may be the origin of a subluxation of the upper cervical spine. Thus, it is important to see an upper cervical chiropractor, even if your head or neck trauma was several years ago and didn’t seem serious at the time. To learn more, schedule a consult with a practitioner in your area.

Biology 🧬

                                   BIOLOGY 🧬              Biology is the natural science that studies life and living organisms, including their physical structure, chemical processes, molecular interactions, physiological mechanisms, development and evolution.Despite the complexity of the science, certain unifying concepts consolidate it into a single, coherent field. Biology recognizes the cell as the basic unit of life, genes as the basic unit of heredity, and evolution as the engine that propels the creation and extinction of species. Living organisms are open systems that survive by transforming energy and decreasing their local entropy to maintain a stable and vital condition defined as homeostasis.              Sub-disciplines of biology are defined by the research methods employed and the kind of system studied: theoretical biology uses mathematical methods to formulate quantitative models while experimental biology performs empirical experiments to test the validi

IVF (InVitro Fertilization)

-

vitro fertilisation (IVF) is a process of fertilisation where an egg is combined with sperm outside the body, in vitro ("in glass"). The process involves monitoring and stimulating a person's ovulatory process, removing an ovum or ova (egg or eggs) from their ovaries and letting sperm fertilise them in a culture medium in a laboratory. After the fertilised egg (zygote) undergoes embryo culture for 2–6 days, it is implanted in the same or another person's uterus, with the intention of establishing a successful pregnancy.  IVF is a type of assisted reproductive technology used for infertility treatment and gestational surrogacy. A fertilised egg may be implanted into a surrogate's uterus, and the resulting child is genetically unrelated to the surrogate. Some countries have banned or otherwise regulate the availability of IVF treatment, giving rise to fertility tourism. Restrictions on the availability of IVF include costs and age, in order f

What Is Ovulation?

                                What Is Ovulation? Ovulation is the release of an egg from one of a woman's ovaries. After the egg is released, it travels down the fallopian tube, where fertilization by a sperm cell may occur.  Ovulation is the release of an egg from one of a woman's ovaries. After the egg is released, it travels down the fallopian tube, where fertilization by a sperm cell may occur.  Ovulation typically lasts one day and occurs in the middle of a woman's menstrual cycle, about two weeks before she expects to get her period. But the timing of the process varies for each woman, and it may even vary from month to month.  If a woman is hoping to become pregnant, she will want to keep track of when she may be ovulating. Knowing when a woman is ovulating each month is helpful because she is the most fertile — or able to become pregnant —around the time of ovulation.  A couple will be more likely to conceive if they have sex a day or two before a woma
