December 15, 2020

Dizziness can be distressing. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka welcomes neck pain patients with dizziness seeking a cause and a solution. Sitka chiropractic care of dizziness starts with a careful examination to establish a potentially helpful treatment plan for dizziness linked to spinal issues like Sitka neck pain.

UPPER CERVICAL SPINE ISSUES AND DIZZINESS

The structure and function of the upper cervical spine may perhaps contribute to dizziness. Issues with upper cervical spine muscles and ligaments may be a factor in cervicogenic dizziness. How? Such issues may produce confusion for the proprioception system managed in part by the vestibular nucleus. Alterations in the ligaments and muscles may trigger abnormal reactions that result in dizziness. (1) Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka welcomes many Sitka neck pain patients with dizziness.

NECK PAIN AND CERVICOGENIC DIZZINESS IMPROVED WITH CHIROPRATIC CARE

Cervicogenic dizziness is explained as dizziness that happens in patients with neck pain. No specific assessment for cervicogenic dizziness is established, but patients with neck pain due to a cervical spine pathology who have dizziness present to doctors for help. What could the connection be? Cervical muscles connect and interact with the vestibular, visual, and higher centers to generate effective proprioception, the awareness of body position and movement. When such proprioception is altered with neck pain, the dizziness may arise as well. One new case report of a female aged 24 years who reported cervicogenic dizziness and neck pain described improvement of both with chiropractic care.

DIZZINESS AND NECK PAIN RELIEF

Connecting dizziness and imbalance with neck pain not associated with any other disorders revealed through a thorough examination is key to relieving care of cervicogenic dizziness. Manual therapy and vestibular rehabilitation worked for patients in a new report. (3) Dizziness may result from damage to the somatosensory system. Upper cervical spine manipulation was tested in patients with cervicogenic dizziness. In addition to a decrease in the intensity of the dizziness and pain, an increase in the range of motion toward the more restricted side and better function were also noted.
