About Vertigo

Vertigo is a disorienting sensation of spinning or dizziness that can significantly impact daily life, balance, and confidence. The most common type is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), which occurs when tiny calcium carbonate crystals become dislodged in the inner ear. Cervicogenic vertigo, another form frequently seen in chiropractic practice, originates from dysfunction in the upper cervical spine and is often associated with neck pain and stiffness.

Chiropractic care is highly effective for both types. For BPPV, chiropractors are trained in the Epley Manoeuvre and other canalith repositioning procedures, which can resolve symptoms in as few as one to two sessions. For cervicogenic vertigo, treatment involves specific upper cervical adjustments, soft-tissue therapy, and vestibular rehabilitation exercises. Your chiropractor will perform a detailed neurological and vestibular assessment, including the Dix-Hallpike test, to accurately diagnose the type of vertigo and rule out more serious causes. Research published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics supports chiropractic management of cervicogenic dizziness.

Many patients who have suffered from recurring vertigo for months or years find rapid relief through appropriate chiropractic care. Your chiropractor will also screen for red flags that may indicate a central nervous system cause of vertigo, such as stroke or vestibular neuritis, and will refer for urgent medical assessment if needed. Lifestyle advice regarding sleep positioning, hydration, and stress management may also be provided.

Vertigo FAQs

Can a chiropractor help with vertigo and dizziness?

Yes. Chiropractors can effectively treat vertigo, particularly BPPV and cervicogenic vertigo. BPPV is treated with specific repositioning manoeuvres, while cervicogenic vertigo responds well to upper cervical adjustments and soft-tissue therapy. Many patients experience significant relief within one to three visits.

What is the Epley Manoeuvre?

The Epley Manoeuvre is a series of head and body position changes designed to move displaced calcium crystals out of the semicircular canals of the inner ear. It is the gold-standard treatment for BPPV and is highly effective, with success rates of approximately 80 percent after a single treatment.

How do I know if my vertigo is from my neck?

Cervicogenic vertigo is typically associated with neck pain or stiffness and is triggered by neck movements rather than head position changes. Your chiropractor will perform specific tests to differentiate between inner ear and cervical causes of vertigo and develop the appropriate treatment plan.
