Overcoming Vertigo with Upper Cervical Chiropractic
If you suffer from vertigo, you know how debilitating it can be. At Peak Chiropractic, we’ve seen over a 90% success rate in either eliminating vertigo or significantly reducing its symptoms. By addressing the root cause—which often lies in the upper cervical spine—we help patients regain their balance, coordination, and quality of life.
What Causes Vertigo?
Vertigo is often linked to vestibular system dysfunction, which affects your sense of balance and spatial awareness. Your vestibular system is located within your inner ear and relays information to your brainstem via the vestibular nerve.
When this system isn’t functioning properly, you may experience:
- Dizziness
- Spinning sensations (even when still)
- Balance issues
- Coordination difficulties
One overlooked cause of vestibular dysfunction is a misalignment in the upper cervical spine—specifically the atlas (C1) and axis (C2) vertebrae.


How Upper Cervical Chiropractic Helps with Vertigo
The atlas and axis vertebrae protect the brainstem, which plays a key role in processing balance and spatial awareness. When these bones are misaligned, they can create interference in the brainstem, leading to distorted signals that contribute to vertigo symptoms.
At Peak Chiropractic, we use precise imaging to determine if your upper cervical spine is misaligned. If we find interference, we perform gentle, targeted adjustments to:
- Restore proper alignment
- Reduce pressure on the brainstem
- Improve nervous system function
- Eliminate or reduce vertigo symptoms
By addressing the root cause, rather than just treating symptoms, we help the body naturally restore balance and coordination.
Have You Tried Everything for Vertigo Without Success?
If you’ve undergone multiple tests, seen various specialists, and still struggle with vertigo, it may be time to explore upper cervical chiropractic care. Many patients come to us after exhausting all other options, only to find relief through correcting spinal misalignment.
Take the first step toward relief. Schedule an evaluation at Peak Chiropractic today to determine if upper cervical misalignment is contributing to your vertigo.

They are very personable and you can tell that genuinely care about your well being.
Very impressed with Peak since day one! The staff is absolutely amazing. They are very personable and you can tell that genuinely care about your well being. I have been dealing with weekly migraines for almost 20 years. I was never willing to go down a more traditional pharmaceutical path of treating symptoms. I wanted to get to the root cause which is literally Peak’s vision behind every patient. I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel and I could not be more excited!Read Original Review
I am personally scared of being twisted and popped and that’s not part of their practice.

They specialize in starting at the root of the cause and not over doing it. I am personally scared of being twisted and popped and that’s not part of their practice.

I now no longer have daily migraines. Drs. Jon and Kyara truly want to help you get back on your feet and are ready to help you.
Dr. Jon and Dr. Kyara have helped give me life back! I have been suffering from severe migraines since I was in Elementary school and tried many different remedies. I have had many doctors tell me there was nothing wrong or prescribe different medications and send me on my way. Peak Chiropractic takes time to listen to me and explain what is going on. They look at the whole picture and go to the root. After my first adjustment it felt like a breath of fresh air. I felt energized again and slept so much better than I had in such a long time. I now no longer have daily migraines. Jon and Kyara truly want to help you get back on your feet and are ready to help you. They are truly amazing and do amazing work.Read Original Review
