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 am personally scared of being twisted and popped and that’s not part of their practice.
Peak Chiropractic is an amazing place. Jon and Kierra are very knowledgeable and friendly! They take the time to explain everything and make sure you’re well taken care of. They specialize in starting at the root of the cause and not over doing it. I am personally scared of being twisted and popped and that’s not part of their practice. They made me feel very comfortable and the recovery room is very comforting after the adjustment. I highly recommend Peak!Read Original Review
Dr Jon and Dr Kyara listened to me, heard me, empathized with me, and helped me.
Peak has been a game changer for me. I have struggled with migraines for years. After a lot different trial and errors I found Peak and now I can say I have found a solution. Dr Jon and Dr Kyara listened to me, heard me, empathized with me, and helped me. They were super flexible and understanding with my busy schedule. I am more than grateful not be losing a day a week to migraines. I am excited to continue seeing them and experience even more health benefits.Read Original Review
My son has had one headache in 4 months. One! And his sensory issues are not even a thing anymore.
Dr. Jon and Kyara are amazing!!! I lived with severe neck and shoulder pain for 5 years, trying everything you can think of for relief. Nothing helped. One day I saw a video on Instagram that just spoke to me. It was everything I was experiencing. The videos are so informative. I called that day and set an appointment. Kyara asked me before my first adjustment if I was ready for the first day of my new life and in my mind I truly wasn’t convinced that it was going to be as magical as it has been. I’ve been there and tried that so I was hopeful but not 100% convinced. She was right, it was the first day of my new life. My pain is nothing like it was, it used to be all I could think about. I’m not perfect yet but I’m on my way there. Peak Chiropractic has changed my life. Best decision I have ever made for myself. My son (13) got a scan for frequent headaches and sensory issues. Dr. Jon had me bring him in for a scan and again was hopeful but not fully convinced and once again they were right. My son has had one headache in 4 months. One! And his sensory issues are not even a thing anymore. It has been amazing for him and I’m so grateful he is getting treatment as well. On top of all the goodness we have had since starting we also feel cared for by both Dr. Jon and Kyara. They feel like family and care about us. Kyara is also super into all around health and I am always learning things from her each time I go. Definitely life changing all the way around and I highly recommend checking them out. You will not be disappointed!Read Original Review
