Are You Struggling With Vertigo?
Maybe it starts when you roll over in bed, or when you stand up too fast at work. The room spins, your stomach drops, and you reach for the wall. Acupuncture for vertigo at Life Acupuncture looks at the whole picture behind those episodes, not only the spinning itself.
Dr. Victoria Simons, OMD, offers acupuncture for vertigo in person at her Henderson clinic on South Pecos Road. People come from Green Valley, Anthem, Inspirada, and across the Las Vegas valley. Many have already seen a doctor and want a gentle option to use alongside that care.
How Vertigo Acupuncture Works
Vertigo is the feeling that you or the room is moving when nothing is. Dizziness is a broader word that also covers lightheadedness and feeling off balance. Both are symptoms, and they can come from the inner ear, blood pressure, migraine, stress, or other causes.
Acupuncture uses very fine, sterile needles placed at specific points on the body. In Chinese medicine, dizziness is sorted into patterns. One person's pattern may lean toward tension and heat rising to the head. Another's may look more like depletion, poor sleep, or sluggish digestion. The points chosen depend on your pattern, so acupuncture for vertigo can look quite different from one person to the next.
Who May Benefit From Acupuncture for Dizziness
Acupuncture for dizziness may suit you if dizzy spells keep returning after your doctor has ruled out an emergency. It is also a fit if you want support alongside medication or vestibular exercises.
People who often book include:
- Women in perimenopause or menopause who notice dizziness alongside hot flashes or poor sleep
- Busy professionals whose episodes flare during high-stress weeks
- People with migraine who feel off balance before or after a headache
- Anyone who feels unsteady for days after a vertigo episode has passed
Acupuncture is not a replacement for a medical workup. If you have never had your dizziness checked, see your doctor first. Conditions such as BPPV often respond to repositioning moves done by a doctor or physical therapist. Acupuncture for vertigo can sit alongside that care.
Signs Acupuncture for Vertigo May Help
You may notice one or more of these:
- Spinning that starts when you turn your head, look up, or lie down
- A heavy, foggy head that makes it hard to focus at work
- Nausea or queasiness that rides along with the dizziness
- Ringing or fullness in one ear during an episode
- Feeling wobbly in busy stores or when you walk in the dark
- Dizziness that gets worse when you are tired, stressed, or skipping meals
Call 911 right away if dizziness comes with slurred speech, facial drooping, or weakness on one side. The same goes for double vision, a sudden severe headache, chest pain, or fainting. These can be signs of a stroke or heart problem.
How Acupuncture Treatment for Vertigo Helps
Many people find that acupuncture for vertigo helps them feel calmer and more settled. Some notice dizzy spells ease over a course of visits. Results vary from person to person, and no treatment can promise an outcome. The aim is to support the systems your pattern points to, so your body is less easily thrown off balance.
During acupuncture treatment for vertigo, Dr. Simons may combine several tools in one visit:
- Traditional acupuncture to address the pattern behind your dizziness
- Laser acupuncture, which stimulates the same points without needles
- Chinese herbal medicine, with formulas she prescribes and supervises herself
- Heat therapy such as moxibustion, when your pattern calls for warmth
- Food and lifestyle guidance, such as meal timing and sleep habits that may affect your episodes

Our Approach to Vertigo and Dizziness
Dr. Simons trained in Korean Sasang Constitutional Medicine, which groups people by body type, or constitution. Your constitution shapes which points, herbs, and foods suit you. That is why your vertigo acupuncture plan is built for you rather than taken from a standard protocol.
She also explains what she finds in plain language, so you understand why each step is in your plan. If something you describe sounds like it needs a medical check, she will tell you and encourage you to see your doctor.

Before her medical training, Dr. Simons worked as an executive and lived with stress-related health problems that tests could not explain.
