Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD)
Have you ever been told that every test looks normal... but you still feel dizzy every single day?
Maybe you've seen an ENT.
Had an MRI.
Tried vestibular therapy.
Yet you still feel like you're rocking, swaying, or walking on a boat.
One possible explanation is a condition called Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness, or PPPD.
PPPD is a chronic balance disorder where the brain becomes overly sensitive to normal movement and sensory information.
What many people don't realize is that your balance doesn't come from just your inner ear.
It depends on three major systems working together.
Your eyes.
Your inner ear.
And your upper neck.
The joints at the top of your neck constantly send information to your brain about where your head is positioned in space.
If those signals become abnormal after an injury or years of stress, they may contribute to ongoing balance problems in some people.
That's why Upper Cervical Chiropractors evaluate this area using precise imaging and gentle corrections designed to improve nervous system function.
If you've been living with chronic dizziness and still don't have answers, your upper neck may deserve a closer look.
