Nervous-system focused care
When the problem isn't just a muscle
Dizziness, post-concussion fog, nerve symptoms, headaches that don't fit a pattern. We examine how your spine, balance and coordination work together — and we tell you plainly when your case belongs with a physician instead.
Your joints talk to your brain constantly
The upper neck is one of the densest sources of position information your brain receives. When those joints stop moving well, the signal degrades — and the result can be dizziness, unsteady balance, visual strain, headaches, or a general feeling that your head and body aren't quite in agreement. That's a mechanical input problem, and it's one we can examine and treat.
An evaluation here includes how you move, how you balance, how your eyes track, and how your neck tolerates position change — not just where it hurts. Care blends adjustments with graded sensory-motor exercise you continue at home.
Dizziness & vertigo
Sorting cervicogenic dizziness from inner-ear causes, then treating what we find or referring when it isn't ours.
Concussion recovery
The neck component after head impact, plus staged return to activity — coordinated with your physician.
Nerve symptoms
Numbness, tingling and radiating pain traced from the spine to the downstream compression point.
Headache patterns
Neck-driven headaches and migraine triggers tied to posture, jaw tension and sleep position.
Balance & coordination
Testing how well your joints, eyes and inner ear agree — then training the part that's lagging.
Sleep & stress load
Tension patterns and breathing mechanics that keep the nervous system stuck in high gear.
Scope, stated plainly
What we do — and what we don't
We do
- Examine spinal mechanics, balance and coordination
- Treat neck-driven dizziness and headache patterns
- Address the cervical side of concussion recovery
- Trace nerve symptoms to a mechanical source
- Coordinate with your physician and refer when needed
We don't
- Diagnose or manage neurological disease
- Treat dysautonomia or POTS, or claim to cure them
- Replace emergency care for red-flag symptoms
- Sell long plans for problems that aren't ours
If you have sudden severe headache, weakness, slurred speech, repeated vomiting or vision loss, go to emergency care now. See our healthcare disclaimer.
FAQ
Questions patients bring to this page
Including the ones with an uncomfortable answer.
What does 'nervous-system focused' chiropractic actually mean?
Your joints feed constant position information to your brain. When segments of the spine stop moving well — especially in the neck — that input degrades, and it can show up as dizziness, foggy balance, headaches, or symptoms that don't match a single muscle. We examine movement, balance, and coordination alongside the spine, and treat the mechanical input we can measure.
Do you do functional neurology?
We use a nervous-system-first exam and rehab approach: balance and coordination testing, eye-movement and neck-position work, and graded sensory-motor exercise alongside adjustments. We are chiropractors, not neurologists — we do not diagnose or manage neurological disease, and we refer to neurology when the presentation calls for it.
Can chiropractic help dizziness or vertigo?
Often, when the driver is cervicogenic — coming from the neck — or a positional inner-ear problem that responds to repositioning. Our first job is telling the difference. If your exam points at something we can't help, you get a referral, not a care plan.
What about dysautonomia or POTS?
People search this constantly, so here's the honest answer: dysautonomia and POTS are medical diagnoses managed by physicians, and we don't treat them or claim to. What we can do is address the neck mechanics, headache patterns, jaw tension and sleep-position problems that often ride along with those diagnoses, in coordination with your medical team.
Do you help with concussion recovery?
Yes, as part of a team. After a head impact the neck is almost always involved and is routinely missed. We evaluate cervical mechanics, balance, and visual-motor tolerance, and progress activity in stages. Any red-flag symptom — worsening headache, repeated vomiting, confusion, weakness — goes to emergency care first.
Why do I have numbness and tingling with no injury?
Most commonly it's nerve irritation from the spine or a compression point downstream, like the wrist or shoulder. Sometimes it's metabolic and belongs with your physician. The exam is how we separate those, and it happens before anyone talks about a plan.
Will I need imaging?
Sometimes. We take digital X-rays when they're clinically indicated, and we refer for advanced imaging or medical workup when your findings warrant it rather than treating around a question mark.
