Balance & Dizziness
Vertigo & Dizziness Care in Colchester, VT
Address the structural causes of spinning and imbalance
Vertigo is more than feeling a little dizzy. It is the unsettling sensation that you or the world around you is spinning, tilting, or moving when it is not. It can make simple activities, standing up, turning your head, walking across a room, feel unpredictable and even frightening.
At Family First Chiropractic in Colchester, VT, Dr. Christine Lebiecki helps patients whose vertigo and dizziness have a structural component, particularly when the upper cervical spine is involved.
The neck-balance connection
Your sense of balance depends on constant communication between your inner ear, your eyes, and the nerves and joints of your upper neck. When the upper cervical vertebrae are misaligned, they can disrupt the signals your brain relies on to know where your body is in space. The result is a form of dizziness known as cervicogenic vertigo.
For many people, neck tension, past whiplash, or chronic postural strain sits at the root of their dizziness. When the neck is the source, addressing the inner ear alone will never fully resolve the problem.
What chiropractic care can address
- Cervicogenic dizziness related to upper neck misalignment
- Dizziness following whiplash or neck injury
- Balance issues tied to chronic neck tension and poor posture
- Lightheadedness associated with cervical spine dysfunction
A careful, individualized approach
Dr. Christine begins with a thorough evaluation to determine whether your vertigo has a structural, neck-related component and to rule in the patterns chiropractic care can help. When it does, gentle, precise adjustments to the upper cervical spine can relieve the nerve and joint irritation contributing to your symptoms.
If your dizziness stems from a cause outside the scope of chiropractic care, Dr. Christine will tell you plainly and help point you toward the right provider. Her goal is always your genuine wellbeing, not simply another appointment.
No risk. No obligation. Just answers.
