SUMMARY:Free Health Class - Balance Matters: Dizziness\, Unsteadiness & Your Nervous System
DESCRIPTION:Do you ever feel dizzy\, lightheaded\, or unsteady? These common symptoms aren’t just random—they are often connected to how your spine\, nervous system\, and balance system work together. Led by an advanced NUCCA upper cervical chiropractor\, this class is designed for anyone curious about natural\, non-invasive ways to support dizziness-like symptoms and improve quality of life. \nWhat dizziness/vertigo actually is: Explain the difference between lightheadedness\, unsteadiness\, and true spinning vertigo. \nWhy it happens: Overview of causes and contributing factors—inner ear issues\, vestibular issue\, neck/spine problems\, cognitive issue\, nervous system dysfunction. \nHow the nervous system is involved: Discover how the brain\, inner ear\, eyes\, and spine work together to control balance – and what happens when that communication is disrupted. \nHow the upper cervical spine (neck) can influence : Learn how upper cervical(between head and neck) misalignment complex can affect your balance\, brain and nerve functions\, and symptoms like spinning\, unsteadiness\, and imbalance. \nPerfect for: Those experiencing dizziness\, vertigo\, or imbalance\, or anyone interested in learning how spinal health affects the nervous system and looking for natural and non-invasive approaches. \nMeet the Instructor! \nDr. Changwon Lee personally suffered from chronic low back pain and numbness in his left leg. He experienced the gentle but powerful NUCCA correction that changed his life\, which led him to pursue this profession. Dr. Lee is a husband\, father\, and Chiropractor specializing in the NUCCA technique and therapeutic exercises. He graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic\, IA. He majored in Sports Medicine in his undergraduate in Kyung-Hee Univ. in S. Korea. He focuses on balancing the body framework with a specific adjustment based on X-ray analysis and therapeutic exercises to start a healing process for many conditions. It is his joy to hear stories of healing and relief from his patients daily. He is excited to help those who suffer from chronic pain in the community.

For the past six years\, she has worked alongside her husband Jackson to grow Midland Co.\, leading marketing and sales while connecting with local Iowans to encourage a love of seafood and make shrimp an approachable part of everyday meals. \nIf you have specific dietary restrictions\, please reach out to us in advance before signing up for the class at events@wheatsfield.coop or by calling the co-op at 515-232-4094 and speaking with Sheba Wright\, Education Coordinator. \nLimited substitutions can be made during the class.
