How to Treat Cervicogenic Vertigo and Dizziness FAST | Dr. Matthew Posa Chiropractor in Milton

In this video, Dr. Matthew Posa, a chiropractor in Milton, Ontario will discuss the best options for fast relief and treatment of cervicogenic vertigo and dizziness.
Cervicogenic vertigo is a type of vertigo—a false sensation of spinning or movement—that is caused by dysfunction in the cervical spine, specifically in the upper neck region. Unlike general dizziness, which can refer to a range of lightheadedness or unsteadiness, vertigo is characterized by a spinning sensation even when a person is stationary.

Causes of cervicogenic vertigo can include:
1. *Neck injuries:* Such as #whiplash from car accidents or sports injuries. (50% of all medical visits for neck pain and dizziness or vertigo symptoms)
2. *Poor #posture :* Prolonged sitting, computer use, or improper #sleepingposition can contribute to misalignments in the cervical spine.
3. *Degenerative changes:* Arthritis or wearandtear in the cervical spine can lead to vertebral misalignments.
4. *Muscle tension:* Tight muscles in the neck can affect nerve function and blood flow, contributing to vertigo symptoms.

Chiropractic treatment for #cervicogenic vertigo often involves a thorough assessment of the upper cervical spine to identify any misalignments or restrictions. This can include a specialized analysis called upper cervical analysis, which focuses on the top two vertebrae in the neck (the atlas and axis). Treatment may include gentle adjustments to realign the vertebrae, along with other manual therapies such as massage, stretching, and exercises to improve neck mobility and strengthen supporting muscles.

The actual cause being cervical neck dysfunction which alters joint mechanoreception activation and therefore proprioception. This altered joint positioning confuses or overwhelms the brain and therefore causes a cascade of neurological symptoms. This is by far the most overlooked and least understood aspect of #vertigotreatment #vertigorelief #dizziness #dizzinessrelief
