If ENT tests are normal, the root of your vertigo may be in the upper neck—not the inner ear.

Misalignment of the upper neck can restrict venous drainage, causing cerebrospinal fluid and blood to back up inside the skull.

Balance is controlled by the vestibular nucleus—upper cervical misalignment can throw it off.

Irritation of the trigeminal nucleus in the brainstem—often caused by upper neck misalignment—is a major root of chronic migraines.

Irritation to the trigeminal nerve often begins at its origin in the brainstem—just millimeters from the upper neck.

When the upper neck loses alignment, it can compress the nerves that wrap around the back of the skull.

Upper neck trauma is often the missing piece in lingering concussion symptoms—especially when brain imaging looks “normal".

Headaches are often caused by irritation in the trigeminal nucleus—located right in the brainstem.

The vestibular nucleus helps regulate balance—upper neck dysfunction may be disrupting its signals.

Upper neck misalignment can compress the brainstem and Eustachian tubes—disrupting balance, hearing, and pressure regulation.

Disruption of nerve signals between the brainstem and limbic system can impact mood, stress response, and resilience.

Lasting neck pain often stems from structural imbalance at the craniocervical junction—where the head and spine connect.

Even low-speed crashes can misalign the upper neck, compromising brainstem function long after the impact.
