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 haven’t had a single symptom since the adjustment!
I was working in Boise and seen an ad for Peak Chiropractic, I suffered with migraines, vertigo and severe nerve pain in my shoulders for 15+ years and thought it was something I was just going to live with. After an informative consultation then some 3-D imaging, a severe misalignment was found in my upper cervical area. Dr. Johnathon Finney made one adjustment before I had to go back home to Kentucky and it changed my life! I haven’t had a single symptom since the adjustment! AND he found a doctor near my home town that he went to school with and shared my files so I can have care when I am home and when I am in Boise for work! I cannot thank Dr. Johnathon enough for giving me my life back and think everyone needs to experience what Peak Chiropractic and their upper cervical care can do for them!

I was quite impressed with the technology used to assess my neck and spine.
I started my care with Peak back in mid February. I had never heard of a cervical chiropractor, until my daughter convinced me to try it. I had been dealing with shoulder/neck pain periodically, off and on, never quite getting rid of it. My last experience with a chiropractor left me injured and not feeling very confident about ever using chiropractic care again. Upon beginning my care with Peak, I began to see that this was different then anything i had ever heard of before. I was quite impressed with the technology used to assess my neck and spine. I began my adjustments, and was informed I would go through a detox with my body. Some weeks I was feeling great, and some weeks i definitely was feeling more pain. After about four weeks of regular adjustments, I probably had my worst week of pain! The following week was my best week, in fact, I didn’t even need to be adjusted. I am excited to continue my care with Dr. John and Dr. Kyara! As time moves forward, I am seeing more and more improvement. My body is beginning to recover on its own when i have been through excess stress or exertion. Before, my body was “stuck” in pain, and now it’s beginning to bounce back on its own. Dr John and Dr Kyara are both very kind, compassionate professionals. If you are on the fence about jumping in to cervical chiropractic care, take the plunge! The only thing you have to lose is your pain and discomfort!

I will never go anywhere else
I highly recommend this chiropractor. I was hesitant to see a chiropractor because I had broken my back when I was younger and hate adjustments. That being said, I will never go anywhere else. I trust and feel comfortable here. The entire environment is comfortable and every person I talked to here was so personable and nice. Like I said, I highly recommend going here!
