✓ Clear Spinning or Loss of Balance (Typical Vertigo)

  • Marked unsteadiness when standing or walking

✓ Persistent or Recurrent Dizziness or Floating Sensation

There may be no obvious spinning, but a long-lasting sense of instability.

Common sensations include:

  • A feeling of lightness, heaviness, or emptiness in the head

  • A sensation of walking as if on cotton—unstable and not firmly grounded

  • Reduced concentration and easy fatigue

Symptoms worsening after prolonged sitting, standing, or mental exertion

✓Dizziness Associated with Tension, Fatigue, or Sleep Disturbance：

You may notice that dizziness is closely related to your overall condition:

  • More pronounced during stress or emotional tension

  • Worsening after poor sleep or irregular daily routines

  • Partial relief with rest or relaxation

  • Increased instability during periods of emotional fluctuation

These patterns often suggest that dizziness is closely related to overall nervous system regulation.

🌿How Does Navel Acupuncture Vertigo & Neurogenic Dizziness ?

In cases of vertigo and neurogenic dizziness, Traditional Chinese Medicine does not view these conditions simply as problems of the head or a single organ. Instead, they are understood as manifestations of overall regulatory imbalance expressed through the nervous system.

​

From a TCM perspective, failure of clear yang to rise, disrupted qi dynamics, impaired qi and blood circulation, as well as imbalance of the mind–spirit system, may all contribute to sensations of vertigo, lightheadedness, or loss of balance.

​

The Systemic Regulatory Approach of Navel Acupuncture

Navel acupuncture primarily focuses on Shenque (CV8). Shenque is regarded as a key hub connecting the body’s innate and acquired systems, and it maintains deep and close relationships with multiple life systems, including the nervous system.

​

In vertigo and neurogenic dizziness, navel acupuncture does not target a single local structure. Rather, by working through Shenque as a central regulatory point, it supports the body in re-establishing a stable and orderly state of regulation. For this reason, navel acupuncture often demonstrates particularly favorable clinical responses in this category of conditions.

​

In clinical practice, the main regulatory focus of navel acupuncture typically includes:

Coordinating overall nervous system rhythm and improving imbalance

Promoting smooth qi and blood circulation, supporting the ascent of clear yang and the descent of turbid yin

Reducing excessive tension or overactivation, helping the body return to a more stable internal balance

Supporting the body’s self-regulatory capacity, rather than merely suppressing symptoms

🌿How Many Treatments Are Usually Needed?

The following timeframes are general clinical references.
Individual response varies depending on symptom severity, duration, and overall condition.

Acute vertigo or sudden dizziness

Many patients notice relief after the first treatment.
Further improvement commonly occurs within 1–3 sessions.

Recurrent or fluctuating dizziness

Symptoms often begin to stabilize after 3–5 sessions,
with gradual improvement in balance and steadiness.

Chronic dizziness or long-standing symptoms

A more consistent course of treatment is usually recommended.
In these cases, 5–8 sessions or more may be needed,
with treatment frequency adjusted based on individual response.

Complex cases

When multiple contributing factors are involved,
treatment plans are individualized rather than based on preset numbers.

🌿 Treatment Notes

Before Treatment

If you have had any recent medical tests, imaging, or are currently receiving other treatments, please inform your acupuncturist.
Please review the precautions for Navel Acupuncture before treatment
 

During Treatment

Sensations vary from person to person.
Mild pain or soreness during needle insertion may occur and is normal.

In general, the more relaxed you are, the milder the sensation.
Navel Acupuncture is a safe acupuncture treatment.
Please stay relaxed and avoid unnecessary tension.

​

After Treatment

After treatment, please allow adequate time for rest and avoid returning immediately to strenuous activities.

On the day of treatment, drinking warm water may help support overall regulation.
Avoid excessive exertion and exposure to cold or wind.

Some patients may experience temporary fatigue, mild heaviness in the head, or subtle changes in balance after treatment.
These responses usually resolve on their own.
If significant or persistent discomfort occurs, please contact your practitioner.

During the treatment period, maintaining a regular daily routine may support nervous system stability.
Avoid sudden posture changes, prolonged tension, or excessive mental strain, especially in the early stages of care.

A calm and steady mindset may help support the body’s natural regulatory process.
