Feelings of dizziness, light-headedness, or vertigo can be very debilitating and stem from many different causes. One of the most commonly overlooked causes is in the relationship between the head and neck. Misalignments that form at the top of the spine throw the head off of center and can cause mild torsion of the spinal cord at the level of the brain-stem, affecting key centers that control equilibrium and balance, often resulting in vertigo/dizziness.
