Overcome Vertigo: Restore Balance with Chiropractic Care
Vertigo is a condition that can disrupt every aspect of life, making even the simplest tasks feel overwhelming. Characterized by a spinning or dizzy sensation, vertigo often leaves sufferers feeling unsteady, nauseous, and disconnected from the world around them. For many, it’s not just a fleeting episode but a chronic condition that can severely limit their quality of life. Upper cervical chiropractic care offers a gentle and effective solution for many patients
Vertigo isn’t a condition in itself but a symptom of underlying issues. It’s often described as a false sense of movement, as if you or your surroundings are spinning. This can lead to:
- Nausea or vomiting
- Difficulty balancing
- Headaches
- A sense of disorientation
The symptoms can range from mild discomfort to full-blown episodes that make standing or walking impossible.
The upper cervical spine, consisting of the atlas (C1) and axis (C2), plays a critical role in maintaining balance. These two vertebrae are located near the brainstem, a key hub for processing signals from the inner ear, eyes, and body to keep you upright and steady.
When the upper cervical spine is misaligned, it can:
- Interfere with normal nerve communication to the brainstem.
- Impact blood flow to and from the brain.
- Create muscle tension and joint dysfunction that disrupt balance.
These disruptions can lead to or exacerbate vertigo, especially in cases related to head trauma, whiplash, or chronic neck issues.
Upper cervical chiropractic care focuses on gentle, precise adjustments to the atlas and axis. Unlike traditional spinal manipulation, this approach uses minimal force to restore alignment, allowing the body to heal naturally.
Benefits of Upper Cervical Chiropractic for Vertigo
- Improved Nervous System Function: Correcting misalignments removes irritation around the brainstem and restores proper nerve signaling, reducing vertigo symptoms.
- Enhanced Blood Flow: Proper alignment in the upper neck can improve blood flow to the brain, helping reduce dizziness and disorientation.
- Relief from Muscle Tension: Misalignments often cause compensatory muscle tension in the neck and shoulders. Gentle adjustments relieve this tension, improving overall balance.
- Long-Term Solutions: Unlike medications that mask symptoms, upper cervical chiropractic care addresses the root cause of the problem, offering lasting relief.
If vertigo has taken over your life, know that relief is possible. Upper cervical chiropractic care offers a safe, natural, and effective approach to addressing the root causes of vertigo. By focusing on the connection between the upper neck and the nervous system, we help patients regain their balance, confidence, and joy in life.

Your Path to Wellness Starts Here
In my office, I prioritize your comfort and health. My process is designed to guide you through each step, ensuring you feel informed and at ease. From your initial consultation to ongoing care, I'm here to support you every step of the way.
Step 1:
Precision Imaging
The first step is taking four x-rays of your upper cervical spine. These detailed, 3D images allow me to assess the alignment of your atlas and provide precise measurements of the misalignment. Every individual’s anatomy is unique, and these images ensure that your adjustment is customized for the most effective and gentle correction.
Step 2:
Gentle Adjustment
During the adjustment, you’ll lie comfortably on your side. I carefully position your head and neck to achieve the most accurate alignment. Using a specialized instrument, a controlled, gentle impulse is delivered through a stylus placed behind your ear. Despite its advanced design, the adjustment is entirely non-invasive and painless. Many patients are surprised by how gentle the process feels, with some reporting that they don’t feel the adjustment at all.
Step 3:
Post-Adjustment Care
After your adjustment, your body begins to realign and heal. You may notice sensations like warmth, tingling, or muscle twitches as your nervous system responds to the correction. These responses are normal and indicate that the adjustment is stimulating improved brain-to-body communication.
