Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between peripheral and central vertigo?
Peripheral vertigo originates from inner ear problems causing intense spinning that improves with stillness. Central vertigo stems from brain or brainstem issues with less spinning but poor balance. Peripheral typically responds better to treatment.
Our comprehensive assessment determines your vertigo type for appropriate treatment at HealthWorks.
Can neck problems cause central vertigo symptoms?
Upper cervical misalignment can mimic central vertigo by affecting brainstem function and blood flow. Cervicogenic vertigo presents similarly to central types. Proper diagnosis requires thorough examination including imaging.
Dr. Taylor’s expertise differentiates cervical causes from true central vertigo for targeted treatment.
Which vertigo type responds to chiropractic?
Cervicogenic vertigo shows excellent response to upper cervical care. Some peripheral vertigo improves with adjustment. Even central vertigo symptoms may reduce when cervical components exist. Individual assessment determines suitability.
