Can a chiropractor help with dizziness and vertigo?

If you’ve ever felt the room spin when you’re standing still — or had that lightheaded, off-balance feeling hit out of nowhere — you know how disruptive dizziness and vertigo can be. It’s more than just annoying. It can affect your work, your mood, and your ability to trust your body.

So… can chiropractic care actually help? The answer is: in many cases, yes.

At YFS (Your Form Sux), we know that dizziness and vertigo aren’t always caused by the obvious culprits. Sometimes they’re linked to issues in your neck, nervous system, or inner ear — and that’s where chiropractic comes in.

🎯 Understanding the Root Cause

First, not all dizziness is the same. Chiropractors are trained to assess whether your symptoms are coming from:

• Cervicogenic dizziness (caused by dysfunction in the neck)
• Vestibular issues (inner ear or balance-related)
• BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo) — often triggered by certain head positions
• Or something more serious (in which case, we’ll refer you out right away — no guessing)

🌀 Chiropractic & Vertigo

In cases where dizziness is related to neck dysfunction — tight muscles, joint restrictions, poor posture, past whiplash injuries — chiropractic care can help by improving mobility, reducing nerve irritation, and calming your nervous system.

For BPPV, we can perform specific repositioning techniques (like the Epley maneuver) designed to help reset the tiny crystals in your inner ear that can mess with your sense of balance.

And if your dizziness is connected to tension or stress, we’ll also look at posture, breathing, and overall body mechanics — because your nervous system thrives when your body moves well.

👂 What Chiropractic Won’t Do

We won’t promise a miracle cure, and we definitely won’t treat dizziness without first understanding what’s causing it. Our job is to assess, treat where appropriate, and refer when needed. That’s the gold standard of care — and it’s what you get at YFS.

Bottom Line?

Yes — chiropractors can often help with dizziness and vertigo, especially when it’s linked to the neck, balance system, or movement patterns. If you’ve been spinning in circles (literally or figuratively) trying to figure out what’s going on, chiropractic might be a key piece of the puzzle.
