Vertigo, the sensation that you or the world is spinning, can be disorienting and exhausting. While some causes are inner-ear related, dysfunction in the upper neck can also contribute to dizziness and balance trouble.
We evaluate the factors we can influence and work to restore steadiness so you feel grounded again.

How the neck affects balance
Your upper neck is rich with sensors that tell the brain where your head is in space. When those joints are restricted or sending mixed signals, the result can be dizziness, unsteadiness or a foggy, off-balance feeling. Restoring proper motion can help recalibrate that system.
Our approach
We start by assessing your neck function, posture and balance to understand what may be contributing. Gentle adjustments and specific repositioning or balance techniques are used where appropriate, always at a pace that respects how sensitive vertigo can be.
The goal
If we believe your symptoms point to a cause better handled by another specialist, we will tell you and help guide your next step.
