Vertigo

Vertigo is a sensation of spinning or dizziness that can be triggered by inner ear problems, cervical spine dysfunction, or issues with the vestibular system. It can make even simple activities like standing, walking, or turning your head feel disorienting and unsafe. Cervicogenic vertigo, which originates from misalignments or dysfunction in the upper cervical spine, is particularly responsive to chiropractic treatment. At Palmetto Spine and Pain, our chiropractors evaluate the relationship between your cervical spine alignment and vestibular function to determine whether spinal issues may be contributing to your vertigo symptoms. Treatment typically involves gentle upper cervical adjustments to correct misalignments that may be disrupting nerve communication and blood flow to the brain and inner ear. Additionally, specific repositioning maneuvers may be used for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Many patients experience significant improvement in their balance and a reduction in vertigo episodes through consistent chiropractic care.
