Vertigo can strike unexpectedly. You may be sitting at your desk at work or performing your normal day-to-day activities, and suddenly the room starts to spin.

At Advanced Spinal Care in Redwood City, California, our specialty is making sure that the spine is in correct alignment. We concentrate mainly on the C1 and C2 vertebrae. The C1, or atlas, has the critical job of protecting the brainstem. If it gets out of alignment, the normal brainstem function may be disrupted. The brainstem is the communication highway between the brain and body. If the signals it sends become distorted, symptoms of vertigo may arise.
We are an upper cervical chiropractic clinic based in Redwood City, and our method is personalized for each of our patient’s cases and individual needs. We use a gentle, accurate technique that encourages the bones of the neck to return into place more naturally than popping or cracking the neck like other chiropractors do. Once an adjustment is made, the body can engage in the healing process without hinderance. Most of our vertigo patients have reported a decrease in severity and frequency of their vertigo episodes after receiving our care. Some even experienced a complete disappearance of their symptoms.
