Cervicogenic Vertigo and Tinnitus

In normal conditions, the brain integrates continuous flows of information that come from neurological receptors located in the cervical spine and peripheral joints in synergy with afferent signals that come from the eye and the auricular vestibule.

The integration of this information in a real neurological dialogue between peripheral receptors and the brain determines control, vigilance and the correct balance of our body in the surrounding space.

A dysfunctional state of the cervical spine and consequently of the proprioceptors of the district involved as a result of, for example, a road accident or more generally of a pain condition in the cervical region, can interfere with this complex neurological activity of vigilance and limit its control.

The resulting symptom can vary from a sense of instability or slowing down to the most disabling form of vertigo, tinnitus is sometimes an associated symptom.

Restoring the functionality of the occipital complex effectively and quickly reduces vertigo and reduces the risk of recurrence.
