Dizziness can strike without warning—leaving you feeling disoriented, unsteady, and even fearful of simple tasks like walking, driving, or bending over. While fleeting lightheadedness can sometimes be harmless, persistent or recurring dizziness is a signal that something deeper may be out of balance.
Many people turn to medication or rest to manage symptoms, but few realize that the alignment of the upper spine could be playing a pivotal role in their recovery.
At Hope Chiropractic in Southlake, Texas, Dr. Joey Kramer offers a holistic approach to helping patients understand and address the root causes of dizziness.
Through upper cervical chiropractic care, he supports individuals in Southlake, Grapevine, Colleyville, Westlake, and Trophy Club on their path to stable, confident living—without relying solely on drugs or temporary fixes.
Dizziness: A Multifaceted Symptom
Dizziness can take many forms—lightheadedness, a spinning sensation (vertigo), swaying while standing still, or feeling as though your head is “floating.” It may stem from various issues, including:
- Inner ear problems (vestibular disorders)
- Low blood pressure or circulation issues
- Visual disturbances
- Dehydration or low blood sugar
- Nervous system dysfunction
- Trauma to the head or neck
Because the body’s balance system integrates information from the inner ear, eyes, joints, and nervous system, any disruption in communication among these systems can cause instability.
Unfortunately, most conventional treatment options focus on suppressing symptoms rather than restoring balance, often leaving the root issue unaddressed.
A Holistic Alternative: Chiropractic Care for Dizziness
Chiropractic care, especially upper cervical care, approaches dizziness from a neurological and structural perspective. Instead of just treating the symptoms, it investigates whether disruptions in spinal alignment are interfering with the body’s balance systems.
Why Focus on the Upper Cervical Spine?
The atlas (C1) and axis (C2) vertebrae sit just below the skull and protect the brainstem, which is a central hub for processing balance, eye movement, and vestibular (inner ear) information. Misalignments in this area can:
- Disrupt signals between the brain and the body
- Impair blood flow to the brain
- Cause muscular tension that throws off proprioception (spatial awareness)
- Create inflammation or pressure affecting nearby nerves
Correcting these misalignments can often bring immediate relief and long-term improvement in dizziness-related symptoms.
What Makes Upper Cervical Care Different?
Unlike full-spine chiropractic techniques, upper cervical care uses advanced diagnostic tools like 3D imaging and digital posture assessments to make extremely precise corrections—often with no twisting, cracking, or forceful movements.
This approach focuses on restoring the natural balance of the head and spine, which helps relieve pressure on the nervous system and allows the brain and body to communicate properly again.
Patients often report not just less dizziness, but also improvements in:
- Mental clarity
- Sleep quality
- Neck and shoulder tension
- Headaches or migraines
- Confidence while walking or exercising
Who Can Benefit?
Upper cervical chiropractic care may be particularly helpful if:
- You’ve had a history of head or neck trauma (even minor)
- Your dizziness seems unrelated to any ear infection or cardiovascular condition
- You experience other symptoms like brain fog, headaches, or neck stiffness
- Standard medical treatments haven’t provided lasting relief
- You’re seeking a drug-free, personalized approach to healing
Dr. Kramer works with each patient to create a tailored care plan based on their history, scans, and functional assessments.
