Understanding Vertigo and the Chiropractic Connection

Vertigo can feel like the world is spinning around you—literally. It can disrupt your daily life, affect your ability to drive, sleep, or even walk safely. At Advanced Health Chiropractic in Troy, MI, we help patients understand and treat the root causes of their vertigo, often tied to the cervical spine and nervous system. If you’ve been seeking natural, effective relief, chiropractic care might be the solution you didn’t know you needed.

What Is Vertigo?

Vertigo is more than just dizziness. It’s a spinning sensation often caused by imbalances in the inner ear or dysfunctions in the cervical spine. Common symptoms include:

⇒ Feeling like you’re moving when you’re not

⇒ Nausea or vomiting

⇒ Trouble balancing

⇒ Headaches or neck stiffness

 

These symptoms may be due to BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo), Meniere’s disease, or cervicogenic (neck-related) vertigo.


How Chiropractic Care Can Help

Chiropractors are trained to identify and treat spinal misalignments that may disrupt the nervous system’s ability to regulate balance. Through precise adjustments, we work to restore function, relieve pressure on nerves, and promote proper communication between the brain and body.

Cervicogenic Vertigo Explained

This form of vertigo originates from the cervical spine. When neck joints or muscles are dysfunctional, they can misinform your brain about your body’s position—leading to dizziness.

Adjustments for Neck-Related Dizziness

Chiropractic adjustments realign cervical vertebrae, improving mobility and nerve function, which can reduce vertigo episodes.

Neurological Benefits of Chiropractic Care

Adjustments may also reduce inflammation and improve blood flow, positively impacting your vestibular system.

Vertigo FAQs

Chiropractic care has provided long-term relief for many patients with vertigo, especially those whose symptoms are related to cervical spine dysfunction. However, results vary depending on the root cause of your vertigo. In some cases, ongoing maintenance care or lifestyle adjustments are recommended to maintain results.

It’s very rare, but not impossible. If your vertigo is caused by something outside a chiropractor’s scope (such as a tumor or serious neurological condition), care may be ineffective or not suitable. That’s why our team conducts a thorough examination before beginning any treatment and refers out when needed.
