In Chiropractic a common cause for vertigo (dizziness) is dysfunction of the cervical spine. The vestibular nerve, which is a nerve that connects to your ear, contains the mechanisms which control your balance, also having connections (2) with your neck (more specifically vestibulospinal tracts that travel in the spinal cord and influence cervical motor neurones). Primarily the C1-C3 vertebrae will not be articulating (moving) with each other correctly, so we find which one has the incorrect articulation and adjust it to restore normal articulation, which eliminates the vertigo!
They then relay messages to and from the joints and muscles of the neck, (cervical spine) so that your head movements occur in such a way to assist in maintaining balance. If there is dysfunction in the joints of your neck (cervical spine) afferent input is altered, more specifically to the spinal cord and its interconnections with the vestibular nerve causing the sensation of “dizziness” vertigo.
