What is cervicogenic vertigo?

       Cervicogenic vertigo is the most common type of vertigo in clinical practice. The disease is caused by the misalignment of the cervical spine or herniated discs that compress the vertebral artery and reduce the blood flow in the official lumen of the vertebral artery, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the brain. It is characterized by recurrent attacks of vertigo and is clearly related to the rotation of the neck. It often occurs when the neck is moved, especially when the neck is twisted or flexed excessively, or when the position is changed.  The episodes are usually brief, ranging from a few seconds to several minutes, but there are cases of longer duration. The vertigo can take many forms, sometimes with nausea, vomiting or even sweating, resulting in the eyes being closed and not daring to move. It can occur even with light activities, such as lying in bed, getting up and turning over at night. Pain in the neck or back of the occiput can occur in the morning.  We use the technique of chiropractic to adjust the overall structure of the cervical spine, rectify the misaligned intervertebral joints, restore their original physiological curvature and mutual alignment, release the spasm of the neck muscles, eliminate the compression of the vertebral artery, improve the blood supply to the brain, and treat cervicogenic vertigo thoroughly from the root, which is effective, painless, non-toxic and has achieved good clinical results.
