According to statistics, 70% of people suffer from motion sickness. And it can manifest themselves in them in different types of transport: from airplanes to ships and even cars. Swaying has quite certain symptoms: nausea, vomiting, deterioration of well-being, feeling of lack of air. Especially sensitive to the pitching in transport children. But adults often suffer from this condition. What is the reason for poor health during trips and how can the situation be remedied?.
Why shakes Some people can get sick even in a traffic jam, for example, if the machine jerks intermittently, stopping abruptly and also abruptly continuing the movement. For others, sharp turns and a tortuous path become the test. Still others are just beginning to feel nauseous from the first seconds of the trip. For maintaining the balance is a very complex system in which the most important components are the cerebellum and inner ear, also it includes the eyes, receptors for tension of muscles and ligaments, the thalamus and several other centers in the brain. In order for brain centers integrating all information about the position of the body in space to function well, they need good arterial nutrition. It is provided for the most part by blood coming from the branches of the vertebral artery. Difficulty of blood flow can occur due to trauma, obtained during labor, including in cesarean section. If the child's bones move even a fraction of a millimeter, this entails a lot of unpleasant symptoms. The displaced bones lose mobility and make arterial blood flow difficult.
In birth injuries, the vertebral arteries feeding the cerebellum and other parts of the brain stem are squeezed in the first place. In this case, the child after a while after birth begins to rock in transport. This is not an individual characteristic of a child or an adult, as it is sometimes said! This is a serious symptom that needs to be addressed. With the same birth trauma, incidentally, is associated with excessive childish clumsiness. If you notice that the child falls literally "out of the blue", he has unstable gait, unsteadiness, it is better to show it to a specialist, because these are also symptoms of a violation of the blood supply to brain areas responsible for the balance.
Vertigo in adults Often with age, motion sickness passes, and the child begins to easily carry the trip in any transport. Then they say that the child "outgrew" the problem. But it is not so. Just as you grow up, brain function improves, and it happens to all people. But the trauma, of course, has not disappeared anywhere, and it necessarily manifests itself elsewhere and other symptoms.
In adults, dizziness, darkening in the eyes or fainting can appear after a sharp rise from the crook, from a horizontal position, in cases of serious disorders - even after turning or tilting the head. Such a symptom in adults indicates serious disorders of cerebral blood flow. The cause of such signs, as a rule, is the combination of ancestral trauma and a rough acquired trauma to the occipital region, because of which the function of the vessels of the head worsens, in particular - the vertebral artery.
If you are constantly experiencing dizziness, then even without seeing the results of ultrasound, it can be argued that your cerebral circulation is impaired. No wonder stroke (acute violation of blood supply to the brain) begins precisely with a sharp giddiness. Of course, the degree of violation for all the different, because the severity of injuries in all, too, is different. Therefore, someone experiences only mild dizziness, and someone's head is spinning so badly that it's hard to get on your feet.
How to fight?.
Swaying and dizziness are common complaints when addressing an osteopath. Children are easier to treat. But still you should not expect that in one session this unpleasant symptom will be eliminated, and the child will quietly ride in transport and easily master the bike and scooter. But, although motion sickness and dizziness at any age indicate serious trauma in the past, which requires a long time for treatment, a positive trend is usually observed, after the first admission, in a qualified osteopath.
In children with shaky gait, who were prone to frequent falls, the situation also improves after the first sessions. After the bones are in the correct position, the lumen of the vertebral artery is gradually restored. The centers of the nervous system responsible for balance and coordination of movements start to function better, and the child begins to safely carry long trips by car, stops falling too often, easily masters a runaway, scooter or bicycle, becomes more graceful and coordinated.
