Vertigo & Dizziness
If you feel like the room is spinning, or you experience sudden bouts of lightheadedness or imbalance, you may be dealing with vertigo or dizziness. At Palatine Family Chiropractic, we look at how spinal alignment and nervous system function may be contributing — and offer safe, natural solutions to help you feel steady and clear again.
Find Steady Ground Again with Natural Relief for Vertigo and Dizziness
How do we Help with Vertigo & Dizziness?
Vertigo and dizziness often originate from disrupted communication between the brain, inner ear, spine, and nervous system. While some causes are inner ear–related, many cases involve misalignment in the cervical spine (neck), which can interfere with balance signals in the body.
Chiropractic care helps restore balance in the spine and nervous system, allowing your brain to receive clearer signals and improving your sense of stability.
How It Works
We begin by assessing your posture, spinal alignment, and neurological function. Many patients with vertigo have restricted motion or tension in the upper neck, which may be affecting their vestibular system — the part of the body that controls balance. Gentle adjustments to the cervical spine, along with balance exercises and targeted care, can reduce pressure on nerves and restore proper communication within the body.
Why It’s Effective
The cervical spine plays a critical role in spatial awareness and balance. When vertebrae in the neck are misaligned or restricted, they can interfere with nerve signals and blood flow, contributing to symptoms like spinning, disorientation, or lightheadedness. Chiropractic care helps correct these imbalances at the source — without medication or invasive procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is all vertigo caused by inner ear problems?
Not necessarily. While some vertigo is related to the inner ear (like BPPV), other types are caused by cervical spine dysfunction or nerve irritation. We evaluate both possibilities.
Can chiropractic care really help with dizziness?
Yes. Many cases of dizziness improve significantly with chiropractic care, especially when the cause is cervical or neurological in nature.
Will I feel dizzy during treatment?
Some patients feel temporary disorientation during or after the first visit, but most report steady improvement as care progresses. We adjust treatment based on how your body responds.
How soon will I feel better?
It depends on the cause and severity of your symptoms. Some patients notice improvement after just a few visits, while others with chronic issues may need more consistent care.
