Conditions we treat
Vertigo & Dizziness Care in Zeeland, Portage & Muskegon
Dizziness tied to neck movement or a head injury often has a cervical cause. We assess and treat it — and refer when it's something else.
Dizziness has many possible sources: the inner ear, blood pressure, medication, or the neck. Cervicogenic dizziness — dizziness driven by neck joint dysfunction — is commonly missed, and it responds well to treating the neck.
Symptoms we hear about
- Unsteadiness or floating sensation rather than spinning
- Dizziness triggered by neck movement or sustained positions
- Accompanying neck pain, stiffness or headaches
- Worse after a whiplash injury or a concussion
- Visual-motion sensitivity in busy environments
What's usually driving it
Your upper cervical joints are densely packed with position sensors that feed your brain's balance system alongside input from your inner ears and eyes. When those joints are restricted or injured, they send faulty signals that conflict with the other two systems — and conflicting balance input feels like dizziness.

FAQ
Vertigo & Dizziness: common questions
How do I know my dizziness is coming from my neck?
Cervicogenic dizziness usually comes with neck pain and stiffness, is provoked by neck positions, and feels like unsteadiness rather than the room spinning. Our exam tests that specifically.
What if it's BPPV?
True BPPV — brief intense spinning with head position changes — is diagnosed with specific positional testing and treated with repositioning maneuvers. We identify it and get you to the right care.
When is dizziness an emergency?
Sudden severe dizziness with slurred speech, facial droop, double vision, weakness or a severe unusual headache needs emergency care immediately.
Do I need a referral to be seen?
No. You can book directly with any of our three clinics in Zeeland, Portage or Norton Shores (Muskegon). If we think you need imaging or another provider, we'll tell you and help coordinate it.
Do you take insurance?
We're in-network with most major plans and we verify your benefits before your first adjustment so there are no surprises. Cash and payment-plan options are available too — see our insurance and payment FAQs.
How soon can I get in?
Most new patients are seen within a few days, not weeks. Book online for the clinic closest to you or call and we'll find the first available exam slot.
