Did you know that nearly 40% of adults in the United States experience vertigo at least once in their lifetime? Vertigo is the sensation of feeling off balance or dizzy, and it can be brought on by a variety of things, including inner ear infections, head injuries, migraines, and a prior COVID infection. While vertigo can be extremely unsettling, there are a number of treatments available that can help. At Gotham Holistic Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine, we’ve helped patients to reduce or eliminate vertigo with customized acupuncture treatments and Chinese herbal medicine.

How Acupuncture Can Help Relieve Vertigo Symptoms
Acupuncture offers a holistic and non-invasive treatment for vertigo. Based on the particular signs, symptoms, and history of each individual case, a diagnosis is determined according to the principles of Chinese Medicine. Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points on the body known as acupuncture points. Each treatment is customized to address the patient's primary health goal and to promote optimal health and wellbeing.
Acupuncture helps to address vertigo by:
Reducing inflammation
Calming and regulating the nervous system
Improving circulation
Boosting the immune system
Releasing tight muscles and trigger points

"I've been going to see Dr. Kristin for quite some time now due to back/neck issues I've been dealing with for years, and I must say - it really does work wonders! From my first consultation to every appointment in between, Dr. Kristin has been kind and always attentive to what aches and pains I have. She makes sure to target the areas that are hurting you, and constantly checks in on you / with you to make sure you are comfortable. I mean really, what more could you ask for?!"

"I've been going to Gotham Holistic and seeing Kristin Cheng, LAc for 3 years now, I highly recommend going to see her. She was highly attentive to me, my needs, and my comfort level. Quickly, I was put at ease by her attentive nature and able to be present when I did my first acupuncture consultation to the present day. I go here because Kristin Cheng is immensely skilled and so down to earth that I can digest her deep knowledge to make better health choices in my life."
