There are many potential causes of dizziness. It most likely means that there is a serious problem. Please seek out a health care professional that will take a detailed history and perform a thorough examination to determine the underlying cause of your dizziness.
Absolutely, I see that frequently.
Yes, neck mechano-receptors and proprietorship have the largest neurological input into the cerebellum. Need to be run a proper examination to rule out multiple other reasons for the dizziness, such as diabetes, anemia, etc.
It's possible. This is because of misalignment on the level of c/6 orthostatic pressure center where the bifurcation of the carotid artery, and if the misalignment happens to be on c/3-c/4 level where a back from the 8th cranial nerve goes back to the c/s beside atlas syndrome can cause dizziness and migraine like headache. Besides that, dizziness is a very wide syndrome related to chiropractor, outorhynolaryngologist, neurosurgeon, cardiologist, pneumologist, and infectionist. It is not only the chiropractor who has to treat it.
Yes. Many of my patients complain of dizziness when their neck is out of alignment. Most often the dizziness goes away very quickly after the adjustment. Vertigo and migraine are also frequently associated with pinched nerves in the neck which chiropractic manipulation alleviates.
Hello,
YES! In fact, this is a common "side effect" of being out of alignment, particularly in the neck or cervical region. If this is truly the case, adjustments can help correct this.

Yes, it can. You should also have other issues such as low blood pressure, inner ear problems and vertigo checked out as well. Any good Chiropractor should be able to rule diagnose cause and get you to the appropriate specialist if it's more than a neck issue.
Take care and be well.

Yes, cervicogenic vertigo. Chiropractic helps with that quite well.
Misalignment in the cervical may cause symptoms like dizziness in patients. An adjustment may decrease symptoms or eliminate the dizziness altogether. A visit to your chiropractor and getting a full examination to make sure nothing else is going on.
Yes.
Yes, it can, especially in the upper cervical spine. I have several patients who frequently have dizziness as a symptom when their neck is out of alignment.
There are many causes of dizziness. One of which can be cervical spine (neck) issues. Examination and treatment will rule the neck in or out of possible causes.
