Cervical dizziness, Cervicogenic (Cervical) Vertigo

Cervicogenic vertigo (CV) a type of “dizziness or vertigo” someone can feel when they move their head and neck in a certain direction. The cervical spine (your neck) has position receptors (proprioceptors) in the joints and muscles that tell your brain and balance system where you are in space. When this information gets distorted then that can trigger CV. There can be a precipitating event such as:

Neck injury
Motor vehicle accident
Falls
Prolonged poor posture
Head injury

Symptoms of Cervicogenic vertigo:

Imbalance,
Unsteadiness
Disorientation
Neck pain
Limited motion of the neck

Chiropractic Adjustments
Neuromuscular Re-Education
Eye/neck Exercises
Orthopedic Exercises
physiotherapy
Sensory-Motor Integration Therapy
