Vertigo and Dizziness Treatment in Stirling
A careful, individualised approach to assessing spinal and postural factors that may contribute to feelings of dizziness or imbalance.
While vertigo and dizziness are complex symptoms often originating in the inner ear, a specific type known as cervicogenic dizziness can be directly linked to dysfunction in the upper cervical spine. Our precision approach focuses on assessing this important connection to see if restoring function in the neck can improve your sense of balance and well-being.
How Dizziness Might Be Presenting
If your dizziness or unsteadiness is related to your neck, you may experience symptoms such as:
Sensation of spinning, floating, swaying, or general unsteadiness.
Loss of balance or uncoordinated gait (walking).
Dizziness often triggered by specific head or neck movements.
Associated neck stiffness or pain accompanying the balance issue.
Common Causes of Vertigo/Dizziness
When dizziness has a cervicogenic (neck) origin, common contributing factors include:
Inflammation or joint restriction in the upper neck.
Whiplash or other trauma to the neck.
Muscular tension affecting the upper neck joints.
Dysfunction interfering with positional feedback from neck receptors to the brain's balance centres.
Our Focused Approach
The upper neck joints contain a high concentration of sensitive receptors that relay critical information about your head’s position to your brain’s balance centres. Dysfunction or restriction in this area can disrupt that vital feedback. We use gentle, precision techniques, ensuring comfort for sensitive patients, to assess and correct restrictions in the upper cervical spine. By improving joint movement, we aim to restore balanced sensory input and support better coordination and stability.

Our key focus involves a detailed assessment of upper cervical function and balance, using low-force, gentle techniques to improve neck mobility. We are dedicated to supporting better nervous system communication related to posture and equilibrium, thereby helping you find a clearer, more stable sense of movement and balance.
