Chiropractic and Vertigo

Chiropractic care has shown potential in helping individuals with vertigo by addressing dysfunction in the cervical spine and its influence on vestibular and proprioceptive input. Misalignments or restrictions in the upper neck can disrupt neural pathways involved in balance and spatial orientation, contributing to dizziness and disorientation. This report examines how chiropractic adjustments may improve cervical and vestibular integration, offering relief and improved stability for those suffering from vertigo.

Chiropractic Care and Vertigo: Understanding the Benefits

Introduction: What is Vertigo?

Vertigo is the unsettling sensation that you or your surroundings are spinning, often accompanied by dizziness, imbalance, and nausea. It’s more than just “feeling dizzy” – true vertigo can greatly disrupt daily life. In fact, dizziness and vertigo affect up to 1 in 5 adults every year, making it one of the most common reasons people visit their doctor pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. Vertigo itself is a symptom arising from various causes, rather than a disease in itself. Some episodes are brief and mild, while others are chronic and debilitating. Sufferers often describe difficulty walking straight, concentrating, or even getting out of bed during attacks. This condition can stem from problems in the inner ear (vestibular system), the nervous system, or even the neck. Many people are surprised to learn that issues in the cervical spine (neck) can play a major role in dizziness and balance problems. In fact, research suggests nearly half of people with neck pain experience associated dizziness – a phenomenon known as cervicogenic dizziness atlas.chiro.org. Given how common and disruptive vertigo can be, finding effective relief is a priority for those affected.

Causes of Vertigo: Inner Ear vs. Neck

To better appreciate how chiropractic care can help vertigo, it’s important to understand two common sources of dizziness:

Inner Ear Disorders (Vestibular Vertigo): The most familiar cause of vertigo is dysfunction of the inner ear’s balance organs. For example, Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) occurs when tiny calcium crystals in the inner ear become dislodged and stimulate the wrong balance signals. This leads to short bursts of intense spinning vertigo, often triggered by head movements. Another example is Ménière’s disease, an inner-ear condition characterized by episodes of vertigo along with ringing in the ear (tinnitus) and hearing loss. Inner ear causes of vertigo are mechanical or fluid-related issues in the vestibular system that upset your sense of equilibrium.

Cervical Spine Issues (Cervicogenic Vertigo): Less widely known, but very important, is vertigo that originates from the neck. The upper neck is rich in proprioceptors – sensors in joints and muscles that help your brain know the position of your head and body. These signals normally coordinate with input from your eyes and inner ears to maintain balance pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. If the neck’s vertebrae or soft tissues are injured, inflamed, or misaligned, the faulty nerve input can confuse the brain and lead to a sensation of dizziness pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. This is called cervicogenic dizziness, essentially vertigo arising from cervical spine dysfunction. Patients with this type often notice their dizziness is accompanied by neck pain or stiffness. It’s a controversial area because there is no single definitive test for cervicogenic vertigo; doctors diagnose it by ruling out inner ear causes and noting the correlation between neck movement and dizziness pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. However, clinical evidence increasingly supports the neck as a significant contributor to dizziness in many patients. Cervicogenic dizziness may be especially common after whiplash injuries or in people with chronic neck tension. Notably, one large observation reported that nearly half of patients with chronic neck pain had associated dizziness, underscoring how closely linked our neck and balance systems can be atlas.chiro.org.

Understanding these causes is important because traditional treatment for inner ear vertigo (like medications or vestibular therapy) may not address an underlying neck problem – and vice versa. This is where chiropractic care enters the picture as a unique, drug-free approach that can target both the vestibular and cervical contributors to vertigo. Chiropractors are trained to evaluate whether a patient’s dizziness might be stemming from misalignments or dysfunction in the spine, and they have specific techniques to address each root cause of vertigo.

How Can Chiropractic Help Vertigo?

Chiropractic care focuses on the health of the spine and nervous system, making it well-suited to manage vertigo that has a neuromusculoskeletal component. Chiropractors use manual therapies – such as gentle spinal adjustments, targeted joint mobilization, and therapeutic exercises – to restore normal alignment and mobility in the spine. In doing so, they aim to reduce erroneous nerve signals and improve balance. When it comes to vertigo, a chiropractic doctor will first perform a thorough evaluation to determine if your dizziness could be related to cervical spine issues or other treatable causes. Depending on the findings, treatment may include:

Cervical Spinal Adjustments: Careful manipulation or adjustment of the neck (upper cervical spine) is often central to chiropractic vertigo care. If a patient has misalignments, joint restrictions, or muscle tightness in the neck, these can disturb the proprioceptive input to the brain. By performing specific adjustments, chiropractors help realign the vertebrae and improve the mobility of the neck. This can normalize nerve signaling from the cervical spine to the brain’s balance centers. In cases of confirmed cervicogenic dizziness – dizziness originating from neck dysfunction – manual cervical adjustments have been shown to significantly reduce dizziness symptoms pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. For example, one published case report followed a young man who had suffered 10 years of persistent vertigo and neck pain. After a course of chiropractic spinal manipulative therapy using the Gonstead technique, he experienced notable reductions in both neck pain and dizziness along with improved quality of life pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. This kind of improvement makes sense: as normal motion and alignment return to the neck, abnormal nerve signals that were triggering dizziness can calm down. A landmark systematic review of clinical studies found a consistent positive effect of manual therapy on cervicogenic vertigo – all the reviewed studies reported significant improvements in dizziness after cervical spine treatment pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. The researchers concluded that spinal manual therapy should be “considered in the management” of patients with cervicogenic dizziness, provided careful diagnosis and monitoring show it’s helping pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. In simpler terms, if your neck is a contributing factor to your vertigo, chiropractic adjustments may correct the problem at its source.

Canalith Repositioning Maneuvers (Epley Maneuver): Interestingly, chiropractors can also assist patients who have BPPV, the common inner-ear positional vertigo. The standard treatment for BPPV is a series of guided head movements known as the Epley maneuver (a type of canalith repositioning procedure). This maneuver is designed to relocate the loose crystals in the inner ear back to where they belong, thereby stopping the false signals that cause vertigo. Many chiropractors are trained in this procedure and incorporate it into patient care. In a clinical case series, chiropractors treated a group of 8 patients suffering from BPPV by performing the Epley maneuver in the office. The results were very encouraging – all patients reported reduction of vertigo symptoms following chiropractic management, with improvements noted as soon as the 6-day and 30-day follow-ups after treatment pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. Objective tests like the Dix-Hallpike were used to confirm improvement. By 3 months post-treatment, these patients not only felt less dizzy but also showed better overall health status on surveys pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. This demonstrates that for positional vertigo caused by inner ear debris, chiropractors can provide the appropriate repositioning maneuvers and achieve relief comparable to what might be done in a medical clinic. The ability of the Epley maneuver to resolve BPPV is well-documented (often clearing vertigo in a high percentage of cases), and having a chiropractor who can perform it means patients may not need medication to treat this type of vertigo. In addition, chiropractors will often assess the neck and posture of BPPV patients as well – since sometimes neck stiffness or trauma can precipitate inner ear issues – and then perform gentle cervical adjustments or exercises to support overall balance.

Vestibular Rehabilitation Exercises: Some chiropractic physicians have additional training in vestibular rehabilitation, which involves prescribed balance and gaze-stabilization exercises. These exercises can complement spinal adjustments by retraining the brain and inner ear to coordinate properly. For example, a chiropractor may teach a patient specific head-eye movements or balancing drills to practice at home. By including these, the treatment addresses both the hardware (joint alignment) and the software (neurological coordination) of the balance system. Notably, manual therapy combined with sensorimotor exercises has been shown to “show promise in alleviating symptoms” of cervicogenic dizziness, as one 2025 review article observed pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. This combined approach can enhance proprioceptive integration – meaning the brain gets better at using neck, eye, and ear signals together – which is crucial for steady balance. A comprehensive chiropractic care plan for vertigo thus might include not just adjustments, but also posture correction, stretching of tight neck muscles, and exercises to improve balance and head movement tolerance. This holistic strategy can yield more durable relief.

Soft Tissue Therapy and Lifestyle Advice: Chiropractors frequently incorporate soft tissue work (like trigger point therapy or myofascial release) for muscle tightness that may contribute to vertigo. For instance, tight suboccipital muscles at the base of the skull can affect proprioceptors and blood flow to the vestibular nuclei. In a case of Ménière’s disease reported in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine, a chiropractor’s treatment plan for a 40-year-old woman included not only upper neck adjustments but also soft-tissue therapy to neck and shoulder muscles and stretching exercises pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. This patient had been experiencing vertigo along with tinnitus and hearing loss. Impressively, within two weeks of starting chiropractic care her tinnitus completely resolved and her vertigo and other symptoms showed marked improvement pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. After 3 months of continued care, her vertigo, neck pain, and headaches had fully resolved, and only minor occasional dizziness remained, which she managed with periodic maintenance adjustments pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. This case illustrates how a multifaceted chiropractic approach – addressing joints, muscles, and exercises – can dramatically improve even chronic vertigo related to inner ear disorders. In addition to hands-on treatments, chiropractors may counsel patients on posture (to avoid straining the neck), ergonomics, hydration, and even dietary factors (as excess salt can trigger Ménière’s attacks) as part of a lifestyle plan to minimize vertigo triggers.

What Does the Research Say?

Chiropractic care for vertigo is supported by a growing body of scientific research and case studies. While more large-scale trials are certainly welcome, the existing evidence – ranging from individual patient cases to controlled trials – paints an encouraging picture for those considering chiropractic. Below, we summarize key findings from quality publications that have investigated chiropractic or manual therapy interventions for vertigo and dizziness:

Case Reports of Success: Numerous published case reports document patients with vertigo who improved under chiropractic care. We’ve already mentioned a few – such as the woman with Ménière’s disease who recovered significant function pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov, and the gentleman with a decade of cervicogenic dizziness who found relief after Gonstead-style adjustments pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. Another case report from Oxford Medical Case Reports described a 24-year-old female with cervicogenic dizziness (dizziness linked to neck problems). Her symptoms of neck pain and spinning sensations improved notably with targeted chiropractic neck adjustments over the course of care pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. These reports, while anecdotal in nature, are valuable for illustrating how vertigo can often be alleviated when the cervical spine is treated. They also help generate hypotheses for larger studies. It’s important to note that in these reports the chiropractors took care to rule out other causes first – meaning the patients had appropriate exams to ensure, for example, that no stroke or severe inner ear disease was present that required medical management. Only then was a trial of chiropractic treatment implemented, which proved beneficial.

Clinical Studies on Cervicogenic Dizziness: Because cervicogenic dizziness is a common scenario seen by chiropractors, several clinical studies have examined the impact of chiropractic or manual therapy on this condition. A 2005 systematic literature review published in the journal Manual Therapy analyzed all available studies on manual treatments for cervicogenic dizziness pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. The authors found a clear trend – every study they reviewed reported positive outcomes, i.e. significant improvements in dizziness symptoms following manual therapy to the neck pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. The caveat was that many studies were small or had methodological limitations, but the consistency of dizziness reduction across studies was remarkable. The review assigned a “Level 3” evidence rating in favor of manual therapy for this condition, and recommended its consideration in appropriate patients pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. This means that even though more rigorous research is needed, there is already a credible signal that cervical adjustments or mobilizations help dizzy patients. Fast-forward to the last decade, and we now have higher-quality trials affirming this. In 2014, a team of physiotherapy researchers led by Dr. Susan Reid conducted a randomized controlled trial with 86 patients suffering chronic cervicogenic dizziness. They compared two forms of manual therapy (Mulligan’s sustained natural apophyseal glide technique and Maitland joint mobilizations) against a placebo intervention. The results, published in Manual Therapy and Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, were very encouraging. At a 12-month follow-up, both manual therapy groups had significantly lower dizziness frequency and disability (Dizziness Handicap scores) compared to the placebo group, along with improved neck range of motion and balance pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. Patients receiving cervical manual therapy experienced fewer and less intense dizzy spells in the long-term. Notably, no adverse effects were reported in the treatment groups pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. The authors concluded that these manual therapy approaches have long-term beneficial effects in treating chronic cervicogenic dizziness pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. In other words, there is solid scientific evidence that when dizziness is stemming from neck joint dysfunction, skilled manipulation or mobilization of the cervical spine can provide lasting relief. This high-quality trial adds weight to what chiropractors and patients have observed anecdotally for years.

Studies on Balance and Older Adults: Dizziness and balance problems are especially concerning in older adults, as they increase the risk of falls. Chiropractic researchers have explored whether treatments might improve stability in seniors with dizziness. A preliminary study published in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine involved older patients (aged 65+) with chronic dizziness and poor balance who underwent a course of chiropractic care. After 8 weeks of individualized treatment (including gentle spinal adjustments, stretches, and exercises), the majority of patients showed measurable improvements in balance scores and a reduction in dizziness severity pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. Specifically, many participants’ scores on the Dizziness Handicap Inventory improved by several points, and functional balance tests like the Berg Balance Scale showed clinically significant gains in some patients pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. While this was a single-group feasibility study, it demonstrated that chiropractic interventions are not only tolerated well by older individuals, but can also enhance their postural stability. These findings align with a related study where chiropractors provided maintenance care to older adults: those who reported dizziness initially had notable improvements in their chronic neck pain and balance after treatment pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. Improving neck function and reducing pain may indirectly help dizziness by encouraging more normal movement and sensory input. For an older person at risk of falls, even a modest reduction in dizzy spells or a slight improvement in balance confidence can significantly improve safety and quality of life. Chiropractic care thus holds promise as part of a fall-prevention or wellness strategy in the geriatric population.

Vertigo from Other Causes: Beyond BPPV and cervicogenic dizziness, chiropractic case studies have touched on other vertigo-related diagnoses. For instance, there are case reports describing patients with vestibular neuronitis (inflammation of the vestibular nerve) and persistent post-concussion dizziness who responded to chiropractic cranio-cervical adjustments and rehabilitation. Another emerging area is the role of upper cervical chiropractic techniques in Ménière’s disease. Some studies in chiropractic literature propose that misalignment of the atlas (the top cervical vertebra) might impede normal nerve or fluid function related to the inner ear. Upper cervical adjustment techniques (such as Orthospinology or NUCCA) have been associated with relief of Ménière’s symptoms in certain cases cornerstonefamchiro.com vertebralsubluxationresearch.com. While more research is needed to clarify these mechanisms, it’s intriguing to consider that correcting spinal alignment might optimize Eustachian tube function or blood flow to the inner ear. At the very least, case evidence shows chiropractic care can coexist with standard medical management and often yields additional symptom improvement for tough cases of vertigo. Patients who have “tried everything else” for chronic vertigo sometimes find that a thorough evaluation by a chiropractor reveals overlooked musculoskeletal issues contributing to their condition, and addressing those issues finally brings relief.

Safe, Holistic, and Patient-Centered Care

One of the attractive aspects of chiropractic care for vertigo is that it is conservative and drug-free. Vertigo sufferers are often given medications like vestibular suppressants (e.g. meclizine) to reduce symptoms, but these drugs can cause drowsiness and do not fix the underlying problem. In contrast, chiropractic aims to treat the root cause of dizziness (especially when it’s neck-related or mechanical in nature) rather than just mask it. Treatments like spinal adjustments or repositioning maneuvers are typically very safe when performed by a qualified professional. The risk of serious side effects is extremely low. The clinical trials and studies mentioned above reported no serious adverse events during chiropractic treatment for dizziness pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. Patients occasionally report mild soreness after an adjustment, but this is temporary and comparable to what you might feel after starting a new exercise – and even those minor reactions are infrequent pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. Chiropractors take precautions by carefully screening patients (through history, examination, and sometimes imaging) to ensure that manual techniques are appropriate for that individual. If a patient’s vertigo has warning signs of a central neurological issue or other non-mechanical cause, the chiropractor will refer them for medical evaluation. The safety record of chiropractic, combined with its gentle, non-pharmaceutical approach, makes it a compelling first-line or complementary option for many vertigo sufferers.

Chiropractic care is also inherently holistic and patient-centered. Rather than treating vertigo in isolation, a chiropractor will assess how your entire musculoskeletal and nervous system is functioning. They will consider factors like your posture, neck curvature, muscle tension, and even your anxiety levels (since anxiety can worsen the perception of dizziness). By addressing the whole person, chiropractic care often yields side benefits – patients frequently report not only less dizziness, but also better mobility in their neck, fewer headaches, and improved overall well-being after a series of treatments. Many also appreciate the time and education that chiropractors provide. You’ll learn exercises to do at home and strategies to manage symptoms, which helps you regain a sense of control over the condition. This educational component is empowering, particularly for chronic vertigo patients who may have felt helpless about their condition.

When to Consider Chiropractic for Vertigo

If you are experiencing vertigo or persistent dizziness, especially in combination with neck pain or a history of neck injury, chiropractic care is certainly worth considering. Here are some scenarios where seeing a chiropractor may be beneficial:

You have vertigo episodes associated with moving your head or neck (looking up, turning quickly, etc.), or you notice neck stiffness along with your dizziness. This could indicate a cervicogenic component, which chiropractic can likely help pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.

You have been diagnosed with BPPV and have not yet tried (or completed) canalith repositioning maneuvers. A chiropractor can perform the Epley maneuver and other vestibular techniques to reposition ear crystals – often providing relief within just a few sessions pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.

You suffer from Ménière’s disease or vestibular migraines and are looking for adjunct therapy. Chiropractic cannot cure these conditions, but case reports suggest it can reduce the frequency or severity of vertigo attacks in some individuals by improving cervical spine function and mitigating contributing factors pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. It can be part of a comprehensive management plan.

  • Conventional treatments (medication, physical therapy) haven’t fully resolved your dizziness, or you prefer a more natural approach. Chiropractic offers a fresh perspective by evaluating aspects (like spinal alignment) that might have been overlooked. Even if your vertigo’s primary cause is inner-ear related, improving neck mechanics can help your body compensate better and recover faster.

During your first chiropractic visit for vertigo, the doctor will perform orthopedic and neurological tests – for example, a Dix-Hallpike test to confirm BPPV, or a cervical joint challenge test to see if turning your neck reproduces dizziness. They will likely also assess your spinal posture and palpate your neck for restrictions. This thorough evaluation ensures that you receive appropriate care tailored to your type of vertigo. If at any point the chiropractor suspects your dizziness is due to something like a brain issue or a vascular problem, they will promptly refer you to a specialist.

For most mechanical vertigo cases, however, chiropractic interventions can be highly effective. It may take a series of treatments (e.g. over several weeks) to achieve maximal improvement, especially for chronic cervicogenic dizziness. Patience is key – just as it took time for those neck structures to become dysfunctional, it takes some time to rehabilitate them. Your chiropractor will monitor your progress closely, using feedback from you and periodic re-testing (such as balance assessments or questionnaires like the Dizziness Handicap Inventory) to track improvement.

Conclusion: A Balanced Approach to Overcoming Dizziness

Living with vertigo can be frightening and frustrating. The good news is that you are not stuck with endless spinning – there are options to help you regain your balance, and chiropractic care is an increasingly recognized and recommended route. Chiropractic offers a unique combination of benefits for vertigo sufferers: it can address cervical spine problems that may be causing or aggravating dizziness, perform proven procedures like the Epley maneuver for inner ear issues, and provide a whole-body approach to improving balance and function. The scientific literature, including case studies, clinical trials, and reviews, provides a reassuring backing to these approaches – showing significant dizziness reduction, improved balance, and high patient satisfaction with chiropractic care for vertigopubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.govpubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.govpubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. Equally important, chiropractic is safe and gentle, focusing on empowering the body’s natural healing mechanisms without drugs or surgery.

If you or a loved one is struggling with vertigo, consider consulting a qualified chiropractor for an evaluation. They will determine if you are a good candidate for chiropractic management or if you need referral for another treatment. Many patients who have tried chiropractic for vertigo report that it was a turning point in their recovery – finally being able to steady the world around them and move with confidence again. With an educational, evidence-informed, and compassionate approach, chiropractic physicians aim not only to relieve your dizzy spells but also to strengthen your neck and balance systems to prevent recurrences. Given the burden that vertigo imposes on quality of life, exploring chiropractic care is a wise and proactive step toward reclaiming your stability. You might discover that the path to ending the spins and sways lies in aligning the spine.
