Cervicogenic dizziness — dizziness that originates from dysfunction in the cervical spine (neck) — is a frequently misdiagnosed condition that can significantly impact quality of life. Patients often report a sense of unsteadiness, “fogginess,” or spinning that is associated with neck movement or sustained neck positions.

Because cervicogenic dizziness mimics other vestibular disorders, accurate diagnosis is essential. Our therapists are trained in differentiating cervicogenic dizziness from other causes of dizziness and vertigo, and in delivering the targeted cervical treatment that addresses the source.

Treatment typically involves manual therapy to the cervical spine, sensorimotor retraining, proprioceptive exercises, and postural correction — leading to significant improvement for most patients.
