CERVICOGENIC VERTIGO

Neurohistološke i neurofiziološke studije dokazale su da receptorni sustav intervertebralnih zglobova cervikalne kralježnice pripada vestibulamom sustavu i da funkcijske smetnje u intervertebralnim zglobovima mogu izazvati smetnje istovjetne onima kod bolesti vestibularnog sustava: smetnje ravnoteže, vrtoglavicu i nistagmus. Podražaj receptora zgloba tijekom funkcijske blokade izaziva smetnje u vestibularnom sustavu i disbalans mišićnog tonusa, što se klinički očituje karakterističnom cervikogenom vrtoglavicom. Funkcijske smetnje u cervikalnoj kralježnici katkada su prirnaran čimbenik u etiopatogenezi vestibularne vrtoglavice. Kod dokazanog cervikalnog čimbenika ("funkcijska blokada") stručna manipulacija je indicirana i vrlo učinkovita kod cervikogene vrtoglavice, Menierove bolesti i mješovitih oblika vrtoglavice.The neurohistological and neurophysiological studies have proved that the receptor system of intervertebral joints of the cervical spine belong to the vestibular system and that the functional disturbances in intervertebral joints can provoke the identical disturbances as diseases of the vestibular system: such as balance disturbances, vertigo and nystagmus. The joint receptor stimulus, during the functional blockade, causes disturbances in the vestibular system and imbalance of the muscular tonus what is clinically manifested like characteristic cervicogenic vertigoes. The functional disturbances in the cervica! spine are sometimes the primary factor in the ethiopathogenesis of the vestubular vertigo. With the proved cervical factor ("functional blockade"), the expert manipulation is indicated and very efficient with the cervicogenic vertigo, Meniere disease and miscellaneous aspects of a vertigo
