vertigo

[thecheapest902]

i'm going through school right now and i'm working full time to support myself.  i've been working on someone at work.  the lady has been suffering from vertigo the past four weeks.  i figured out its, for sure, from tilting her head back to change light bulbs.  she also went to the salon and felt dizziness there when they were going to wash her hair.  i've tried trigger points in her scm's and scalenes and i've also worked a little into her back and serratus anterior.  i've been working now for 2 weeks every other day.  her vertigo went away--at times she can still tell when it will come on.  does anyone else have an idea as to how i should work on her?  should i do more with the back of her neck?

I would suggest to her that she see her physician and rule out something like a pinched nerve, or something more significant. better to be safe when you're working with a condition you're not too familiar with. Just my opinion :}  ( I work for a chiropractor, and Have seen a couple patients come in with vertigo problems. they seemed to clear up after adjustments, you could ask her if she has ever seen a chiro?)

I am only providing this information as knowledge of a certain proceedure that is out there. What you do with it is of course, your own business.  

It can work in certain situations, as I know by personal experience.
