Dizziness, vertigo, and balance disturbances can make daily life challenging, yet their causes are often overlooked. One common contributor is spinal misalignment—particularly in the cervical spine. Poor neck posture can affect nerve signals, blood flow, and proprioception, leading to episodes of unsteadiness or spinning sensations.
At Epstein Chiropractors in St Ives, we use Chiropractic BioPhysics® (CBP®) to assess and correct postural and spinal distortions that may be contributing to dizziness. By targeting the root structural cause, our approach aims to restore balance, stability, and overall function—without drugs or invasive procedures.
Cervical spine dysfunction, forward head posture, or loss of natural neck curvature can interfere with the nervous system and balance mechanisms. Restoring proper spinal alignment helps the body maintain stability and reduces dizziness.

At Epstein Chiropractors in St Ives, we take a structural rehabilitation approach using Chiropractic BioPhysics® (CBP®) to address dizziness originating from cervical spine dysfunction.
Your care begins with a detailed consultation and digital X-rays to evaluate spinal alignment and posture. Based on these findings, Dr. Michael Epstein develops a personalized treatment plan targeting both symptoms and the underlying biomechanical cause.
This method focuses on restoring cervical spine function, improving neuromechanics, and supporting long-term balance and stability.
Cervical misalignment can disrupt blood flow, nerve signals, and proprioceptive input from the neck to the brain, contributing to dizziness and vertigo.
Without correction, these dysfunctions may:
– Cause repeated episodes of unsteadiness
– Increase risk of falls
– Lead to chronic neck strain and tension
– Affect overall neuromuscular coordination
Research supports that restoring cervical lordosis and proper spinal alignment with CBP® techniques can reduce dizziness, improve balance, and normalize neuromechanical function.
Yes. Misalignment in the cervical spine can affect blood flow and nerve signals to the brain, leading to balance disturbances and vertigo.
Cervicogenic dizziness arises when neck dysfunction—especially poor posture or misaligned spinal curves—triggers episodes of dizziness, lightheadedness, or imbalance.
CBP® corrects spinal posture, restores cervical curvature, and improves neuromechanical function. This reduces strain on the neck and nervous system that contributes to dizziness.
Yes. CBP® is research-backed, non-invasive, and delivered gently by Dr. Epstein using precise imaging and postural analysis.
Some patients notice improvement in balance and stability within a few sessions. Chronic or long-term cases may require several weeks of structured care for full benefit.
