Satterwhite Chiropractic Offers Treatment for Relief of Dizziness and Neck Pain

December 15, 2020

Dizziness can be troubling. Satterwhite Chiropractic often sees neck pain patients with dizziness seeking a cause and a solution. Oxford chiropractic care of dizziness starts with a thorough examination to establish a potentially helpful treatment plan for dizziness associated with spinal issues like Oxford neck pain.

UPPER CERVICAL SPINE ISSUES AND DIZZINESS

The structure and function of the upper cervical spine possibly will bring on dizziness. Issues with upper cervical spine ligaments and muscles may contribute to cervicogenic dizziness. How? Such problems may cause confusion for the proprioception system managed partly by the vestibular nucleus. Changes in these ligaments and muscles may initiate abnormal reactions that result in dizziness. (1) Satterwhite Chiropractic welcomes many Oxford neck pain patients with dizziness.

NECK PAIN AND CERVICOGENIC DIZZINESS IMPROVED WITH CHIROPRATIC CARE

Cervicogenic dizziness is defined as dizziness that occurs in patients with neck pain. No specific assessment for cervicogenic dizziness is recognized, but patients with neck pain due to a cervical spine pathology who have dizziness visit doctors for help. What might the connection be? Cervical muscles connect and interact with the vestibular, visual, and higher centers to generate useful proprioception, the recognition of body position and movement. When such proprioception is altered with neck pain, the dizziness may happen too. One recent case report of a female aged 24 years with cervicogenic dizziness and neck pain described improvement of both with chiropractic care.

DIZZINESS AND NECK PAIN RELIEF

Linking dizziness and imbalance with neck pain not related to any other disorders done via a thorough examination is key to relief for cervicogenic dizziness. Manual therapy and vestibular rehabilitation worked for patients in a new report. (3) Dizziness may come from damage to the somatosensory system. Upper cervical spine manipulation was tested in patients with cervicogenic dizziness. In addition to a reduction in the intensity of the dizziness and pain, an improvement in the range of motion toward the more restricted side and better function were also noted.
