If you have been experiencing vertigo, dizziness, or balance problems, you know how disruptive it can be to your daily life. What many people do not realize is that these symptoms can originate from a misalignment in the upper cervical spine.
How the Upper Cervical Spine Affects Balance
The atlas and axis vertebrae sit at the base of the skull, right next to the brainstem and the vestibular system, which controls your sense of balance. When these vertebrae are even slightly out of alignment, they can interfere with the nerve signals between your brain and inner ear.
Blair Technique for Vertigo Relief
At Well Connected Chiropractic, Dr. Elizabeth S. Hoefer uses the Blair Technique to identify and correct upper cervical misalignments with precision 3D imaging. By restoring proper alignment, nerve communication between the brain and vestibular system can normalize, often providing significant relief from vertigo symptoms.
