About Vertigo

Vertigo is commonly associated with conditions affecting balance and spatial orientation. It may be triggered by:

  • Inner ear dysfunction (such as BPPV)
  • Neck misalignment or restricted movement
  • Head or neck injuries
  • Poor posture or prolonged screen use
  • Nervous system imbalances

When the systems responsible for balance aren’t working together properly, your brain receives mixed signals—leading to dizziness, spinning sensations, nausea, and instability.

Find Relief from Dizziness and Restore Your Balance

Vertigo isn’t just feeling dizzy—it’s the unsettling sensation that you or your surroundings are spinning. For many people in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, vertigo can disrupt daily life, making it difficult to walk, drive, work, or even stand comfortably.

While symptoms may come and go, vertigo is often linked to underlying issues in the inner ear, nervous system, or cervical spine (neck). At Back to Health, we focus on identifying the root cause of your symptoms so you can experience real, lasting relief—not just temporary fixes.

Common Vertigo Symptoms:

  • Spinning or whirling sensation
  • Dizziness or lightheadedness
  • Loss of balance or unsteadiness
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Sensitivity to movement or position changes
  • Difficulty focusing or visual disturbances

Comprehensive Consultation & Exam

We begin with a detailed evaluation to understand your symptoms, triggers, and medical history. This helps us identify whether your vertigo is related to the inner ear, neck, or nervous system.

Misalignment in the cervical spine can disrupt signals between your brain and body. Gentle adjustments help restore proper alignment, improve communication, and reduce symptoms.

Positional Maneuvers (If Needed)

For certain types of vertigo like BPPV, we may use repositioning techniques to help restore normal inner ear function.

Postural Correction & Lifestyle Guidance

We address contributing factors such as posture, screen habits, and daily movements to reduce strain on the neck and improve long-term results.

Common Causes of Vertigo

BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo)

A common condition caused by displaced crystals in the inner ear, leading to brief episodes of spinning sensations with movement.

CERVICAL SPINE DYSFUNCTION

Misalignment or restricted movement in the neck can interfere with balance signals and contribute to dizziness.

INNER EAR DISORDERS

Conditions like vestibular neuritis or labyrinthitis can affect balance and cause vertigo symptoms.

HEAD OR NECK INJURY

Trauma can disrupt the balance system and lead to ongoing dizziness or instability.

POOR POSTURE & PROLONGED SCREEN USE

Forward head posture can strain the neck and affect the body’s balance mechanisms over time.

NERVOUS SYSTEM IMBALANCE

Disruption in how the brain and body communicate can contribute to symptoms of vertigo and dizziness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can chiropractic care help with vertigo?

Yes. Chiropractic care can help improve vertigo symptoms by addressing issues in the cervical spine and nervous system that may be contributing to dizziness and imbalance.

One of the most common causes is BPPV, which involves inner ear dysfunction. However, neck-related issues and posture can also play a significant role.

It depends on the cause. Some cases resolve quickly, while others may persist without proper treatment. Targeted care can significantly reduce both duration and severity.

In many cases, vertigo is not serious but can greatly affect quality of life. However, persistent or severe symptoms should always be evaluated to rule out more serious conditions.

Common triggers include sudden head movements, changes in position, stress, dehydration, or underlying inner ear or neck issues.

Some cases may improve over time, but without addressing the root cause, symptoms often return. Proper treatment helps ensure long-term relief.
