Vertigo & Dizziness
When the room spins, the upper neck is often involved.
Did you know?Dizziness or vertigo affects more than 30% of adults at some point.
What it is
The upper cervical spine contains receptors that help the brain understand balance and body position. Evaluation helps determine whether cervical dysfunction may be contributing.
Common Symptoms
- Feeling of spinning, swaying, or floating
- Loss of balance or unsteadiness
- Lightheadedness when changing position
- Nausea triggered by head motion
- Neck stiffness accompanying dizziness episodes
How Chiropractic Can Help
- Precise upper-cervical adjustments restore proprioception
- Reduces nerve interference contributing to imbalance
- Identifies cervicogenic vs. BPPV vs. central vertigo
- Coordinates with appropriate referral when needed
