Vertigo is a spinning or off-balance feeling. Some cases are linked to the inner ear and others to problems in the neck.
After a careful exam, we use gentle techniques that may help with certain types of dizziness, and refer you to another provider when that's the right step.
Types of dizziness we evaluate
- Spinning when you roll over or look up
- Dizziness linked to neck pain or stiffness
- Dizziness after a car accident
