Why Does My Dizziness Get Worse When I Work Out?

Why does dizziness flare up when you work out? Chiropractors in La Cañada Flintridge explain the real cause and how to get lasting relief.

If your dizziness gets noticeably worse when you work out, you're not imagining it — and it's not random. There's a mechanical reason, and once you understand it, the fix becomes obvious.

Chronic dizziness in adults often has a mechanical driver in the upper cervical spine or inner ear that responds well to targeted chiropractic care.

Why Working Out Makes Dizziness Flare Up

When you work out, your body loads the joints and muscles involved in dizziness in a very specific way. If those joints already aren't moving well — restricted at one level, hypermobile at another — the load has nowhere good to go. It gets absorbed by the tissues that are already irritated, and the pain spikes.
