Dizziness

Feeling Dizzy? Here’s How Chiropractic Care Can Help

Do you struggle with frequent dizziness, lightheadedness, or a spinning sensation that seems to come out of nowhere? You’re not alone. Dizziness affects millions of people every year, and while the causes can vary, one often overlooked factor is dysfunction in the neck. If you’re tired of feeling off balance, chiropractic care might hold the key to relief.

What Causes Dizziness?

Dizziness can be caused by a range of issues—from inner ear disturbances and blood pressure changes to neurological conditions. But in many cases, especially when tests come back “normal,” the root cause may be cervicogenic dizziness, a condition that stems from dysfunction in the cervical spine (your neck). Poor posture, whiplash, or joint restrictions in the upper neck can interfere with nerve signals, leading to imbalance, disorientation, or a spinning sensation.

Understanding Cervicogenic Dizziness

Cervicogenic dizziness (or cervicogenic vertigo) occurs when abnormal sensory input from the neck muscles and joints confuses the brain’s balance systems. Patients often describe it as feeling “foggy,” unsteady, or like the room is slightly shifting. It’s commonly associated with:

  • Forward head posture

  • Tension in the neck and shoulders

  • Recent trauma or whiplash

  • Limited neck mobility

This type of dizziness is particularly frustrating because it doesn’t always show up on imaging or balance tests—and that’s where chiropractic care can make a difference.

How Chiropractic Treatment Helps with Dizziness

Chiropractors specialize in identifying and correcting misalignments or restricted motion in the cervical spine. Through gentle adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and postural correction strategies, chiropractic care can restore proper movement and nerve flow in the neck—often reducing or eliminating symptoms of dizziness.

Additional benefits include:

  • Improved head and neck posture

  • Reduced muscle tension

  • Better blood flow to the brain

  • Enhanced balance and coordination

Many patients report noticeable improvements within a few visits, especially when dizziness is related to postural stress or old injuries.

When to See a Chiropractor for Dizziness

If you’re experiencing frequent dizziness that hasn’t improved with other treatments, and especially if it’s accompanied by neck stiffness, headaches, or a history of neck trauma, chiropractic care may be an effective and natural solution.
