Vertigo relief in Hurst, TX

Vertigo, that spinning, unsteady, off-balance feeling, can make an ordinary day feel unsafe. Some of it comes from the upper neck and responds well to gentle chiropractic care. Some of it does not, and being honest about the difference is where good care begins.

When dizziness comes from the neck

Some dizziness is cervicogenic, which means it arises from irritated joints and nerves in the upper neck rather than from the ear or the brain. When that is the case, gentle upper-neck chiropractic care can help settle it. Signs that point this way often include:

• Neck involvement. Dizziness that comes with neck stiffness, tension, or a history of neck strain.
• Position and movement. Unsteadiness that changes with head and neck position rather than a pure room-spinning episode.
• Upper-neck irritation. Restricted, tender segments at the top of the neck where the joints and nerves influence balance.

Being honest about the other causes

Vertigo has several possible causes, and not all of them are chiropractic problems. Inner-ear conditions like BPPV, blood pressure changes, and neurological issues can all produce dizziness, and they need the right kind of care, not an adjustment. That is why Dr. Begin examines carefully before assuming the neck is to blame.

If your exam points to the upper neck, care is gentle and specific. With the Prone Specific technique, there is no forceful twisting. You lie face-down, supported and still, while Dr. Begin corrects the involved segments with precise, low-force contacts.

An honest exam first

Vertigo is a symptom, not a diagnosis. Dr. Begin examines carefully to see whether yours is the kind chiropractic helps, and if it is not, he will tell you plainly and refer you to the right provider.
