Feeling dizzy or off-balance can disrupt everything—from driving to walking across a room. If you’re experiencing recurring vertigo, lightheadedness, or balance problems, chiropractic care may offer relief.
At Westport Chiropractic & Rehab, we help patients with non-injury-related dizziness and vertigo symptoms find relief without medication or invasive testing. We evaluate alignment, nerve function, and balance systems to identify what’s contributing to the problem.
What Causes Vertigo and Dizziness?
Vertigo can feel like the room is spinning. Dizziness may come with blurred vision, nausea, or imbalance. Common causes include:
- Inner ear issues (vestibular dysfunction)
- Cervicogenic vertigo (from the neck)
- Whiplash or neck trauma
- Joint restriction in the upper cervical spine
- Tension or misalignment in the neck and shoulders
- Migraines or postural imbalances
Chiropractic care is most effective when the dizziness is caused or worsened by cervical spine issues—especially after an injury or repetitive strain.
How Chiropractic Care Can Help
We assess your cervical spine, posture, and nerve function to determine how spinal misalignment may be affecting your balance and coordination.
Treatment may include:
- Gentle chiropractic adjustments to the upper neck
- Postural correction and movement retraining
- Shockwave therapy for tight muscles or chronic inflammation
- Neck pain relief to reduce tension on balance systems
- Headache management if symptoms are tied to migraines
We don’t prescribe medications or perform inner ear repositioning maneuvers, but we can work alongside your ENT or neurologist if further testing is needed.
What to Expect at Your Visit
Your first visit includes a full evaluation of your neck, posture, and neurological response. We’ll ask when symptoms began, how they present, and if anything makes them better or worse.
If your dizziness is cervicogenic or posture-related, chiropractic treatment may reduce symptom frequency and severity over time. All care is tailored to your specific condition.
When to Seek Help for Dizziness
Chiropractic care may be appropriate if:
- You feel off-balance after sitting or standing
- You had a recent fall or neck injury
- Symptoms worsen with head movement or posture changes
- Medical tests show no clear cause of dizziness
- You want a non-drug approach to managing symptoms
