Can a chiropractor help dizziness and vertigo?

It can help some types, especially dizziness linked to neck stiffness or injury. At Ember Active Performance in Colorado Springs, Dr. Delmi Barrera, DC, starts with a thorough exam to rule out serious causes, then uses hands-on care and targeted rehab to help the neck, eyes, and inner ear work together again.

Understanding Dizziness & Vertigo

Dizziness or vertigo can be frightening, particularly when clear answers haven’t been provided. These symptoms often arise from dysfunction or miscommunication between the key systems that help us balance and maintain spatial awareness - the neck, visual system, or vestibular system (inner ears).

We begin with advanced diagnostics to rule out rare but serious causes to ensure care is appropriate. From there, we can focus on improving the function and integration of the balance-related systems through hands-on care and specific neurological rehabilitation.
