Vertigo & the Cervical Spine


"Degenerative or traumatic changes of the cervical spine (i.e. the neck) can induce altered sensory input causing vertigo."  "In summary, vertigo can be accompanied by cervical pain, associated with head injury, whiplash injury, or cervical spine disease."  

Basically, degeneration, decay, arthritis (whatever you want to call it) can disrupt proper nerve signals to your brain leading to many symptoms...one being vertigo.  Our question is this...when do you think this degeneration begins?  A trip or fall?  A car accident?  Or, maybe when you were learning to walk and fell multiple times?  Or, maybe when you were learning to ride your bike and fell to the ground? 

Take care of your spine now.  Get your children's spine checked to lessen their possibility of spinal decay.  #WaltonClinicCanHelp #SpringfieldIL Schedule an appt today at WaltonClinic.com
