Description

A patient brochure describing the cervicogenic origin of dizziness and vertigo and the role of upper cervical care in recovery.  The brochure includes a diagram of proprioceptive inputs into the vestibular nucleus and   The text reads:

“Dizziness and vertigo are prevalent conditions.  These conditions are commonly attributed to originating from issues in the eyes or inner ears.  Therefore, treatment is focused on treating either the eyes or inner ears.  However, dizziness and vertigo often originate from issues in the upper neck.  Therefore, many patients receiving treatment for the incorrect source of their symptoms will continue to suffer.

The upper neck is a common site of origin for dizziness and vertigo because the neck affects the body’s balance system.  The balance system refers to the entire group of structures and nerves that provide the information needed to experience balance and orientation.  There are three main senses that are part of this system.”
