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.

I have previously seen another practitioner in the valley, but I was never able to get relief
I love Peak Chiropractic! I’ve suffered from upper cervical pain for about 10 years and it was gradually getting worse. I have previously seen another practitioner in the valley, but I was never able to get relief and have my adjustment hold. I highly recommend Peak chiropractic.Read Original Review
Was able to stand up straight for the first time in years, hip discomfort and shoulder pain were immediately relieved
After trying chiropractic treatments and months of physical therapy that produced little to no results we had about given up on the medical field. Fortunately Connie found Peak Chiropractic! After her first adjustment she had amazing results, she was able to stand up straight for the first time in years, hip discomfort and shoulder pain were immediately relieved which led me to quickly make an appointment. Range of motion in my neck was pretty much non-existent and after my first adjustment was tremendously improved! Connie and I both continue to see great improvements in our overall health and are amazed at our progress. It is definitely a journey well worth taking. Drs. John and Kyara are both very knowledgeable and professional with the added bonus of being wonderful and caring people, their passion to help is very evident in everything they do. Highly recommended, it is a life changing experience!Read Original Review
I am personally scared of being twisted and popped and that’s not part of their practice.
Peak Chiropractic is an amazing place. Jon and Kierra are very knowledgeable and friendly! They take the time to explain everything and make sure you’re well taken care of. 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. They made me feel very comfortable and the recovery room is very comforting after the adjustment. I highly recommend Peak!Read Original Review
