Understanding Vertigo
What Causes Vertigo and Dizziness
Vertigo is the sense that you or the room is spinning, while dizziness can feel like light-headedness or unsteadiness. There are several possible causes, from inner-ear conditions to problems involving the neck.
Cervicogenic dizziness is a type of dizziness related to dysfunction in the neck, where restricted joints and muscle tension affect the signals your body uses for balance. This is the kind of dizziness chiropractic care is most likely to help.
Because dizziness can have many causes, a careful history and exam are important. We assess whether your symptoms fit a neck-related pattern and refer you to the appropriate medical provider when another cause is suspected.
