What Causes Vertigo?
Vertigo is often caused by disruptions in the vestibular system, located in the inner ear, which helps control balance. However, misalignments in the upper cervical spine — specifically the atlas (C1) and axis (C2) vertebrae — can also lead to vertigo by interfering with nervous system function. When these vertebrae are misaligned, they place pressure on the brainstem and disrupt communication between the brain and body, leading to dizziness and a spinning sensation.
At Peak Chiropractic, we focus on correcting these upper cervical misalignments through precise, gentle adjustments, helping to restore normal function and relieve vertigo symptoms.
Benefits of Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care for Vertigo:
- Non-invasive: No medications or surgeries—just gentle, targeted adjustments.
- Addressing the Root Cause: Upper cervical adjustments correct misalignments, addressing the underlying causes of vertigo rather than simply masking the symptoms.
- Improved Nervous System Function: Proper alignment of the upper cervical spine helps restore balance and reduce dizziness.
How Upper Cervical Chiropractic Works for Vertigo
At Peak Chiropractic, we use advanced diagnostic tools to evaluate your upper cervical spine. This includes 3D imaging to pinpoint any misalignments that could be contributing to your vertigo symptoms.
Once identified, we use gentle, targeted adjustments to realign the atlas and axis vertebrae, reducing pressure on the brainstem and allowing the nervous system to function properly. Patients often experience reduced vertigo symptoms after just a few sessions, and many find long-term relief through consistent care.
