CHIROPRACTIC AND MOTION SICKNESS

December 11, 2025•1 min read

Motion sickness arises from sensory conflict, triggering nausea, dizziness, and distress. Chiropractic interventions that restore spinal alignment and improve proprioceptive feedback may help recalibrate sensory integration and reduce motion-induced discomfort. Preliminary case reports document relief from nausea and dizziness following chiropractic adjustments.

Key Insight:
Supporting spinal and vestibular systems through targeted adjustments may ease the neural mismatch at the heart of motion sickness. If journey-related nausea or disorientation limits your daily life, explore chiropractic consultation as part of a comprehensive strategy. Regain balance, ground your senses, and travel with confidence—start that journey today.

Hear From Our Satisfied Patients

★★★★★

Excellent care, from the person at the front desk (very pleasant to all who were checking in, including myself), to my masseuse (Kathleen?) who had already read my intake form and asked clarifying questions as it was my first visit. She covered all area I had mentioned. I went here because it was on my insurance company’s list of cover d providers, and I’m glad I did.

I had my first massage with Heather and it was one of the best massages I’ve had! She worked through the knots on my neck and shoulders. The bed was heated and it went low enough for me to get on East (I’m 5’ tall). I also see Kathleen regularly and I love her! She uses lavender which I love. Sometime I feel chatty and we have the same vibe. Highly recommend them!

Most in depth chiropractic experience I've ever had. The focus isn't just on getting the cracks, but more of a holistic approach. We did some lazer therapy and after each session they would have me lay on a "bed" of ice or heat while a machine rolled my back out. It was great. The whole office staff is very nice and they ladies at the front always remembered my name when I walked it. 10/10 experience.

I had just gotten off the plane from the East Coast. I was in so much pain with Siatica. I called this office and they got me right in. Dr. Peter worked on me and was very thorough. I was able to enjoy my week with my son with little to no pain. I would highly recommend In Touch Chiropractic to everyone! The office is super friendly and better than anyone I have seen on the East Coast. Definitely the place to go if you’re in pain like I was!
