Vertigo, the sensation of spinning or dizziness, can significantly impact daily life, making balance and movement difficult. While vertigo can have multiple causes, including inner ear issues, neck dysfunction, or poor spinal alignment, chiropractic care can help address contributing musculoskeletal factors.

Chiropractors assess the neck, spine, and related joints to identify restrictions or misalignments that may affect nerve pathways and blood flow to the inner ear and brain. Treatments may include gentle spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and exercises to improve neck mobility and balance. Research suggests that manual therapy and targeted exercises can reduce dizziness, improve stability, and enhance quality of life in patients with cervicogenic vertigo.

Key Insight:
Vertigo can be linked to neck and spinal dysfunction, and chiropractic care may help restore balance and reduce symptoms.
