If you’ve ever felt dizzy, unsteady, or disoriented and couldn’t figure out why, your neck may be playing a bigger role than you realize. Cervical vertigo, sometimes called cervicogenic vertigo, is a condition where dizziness is triggered by problems in the cervical spine (your neck).
It’s often misunderstood, frequently misdiagnosed, and surprisingly common among people with neck injuries, poor posture, or long-term stiffness. The good news? It’s treatable, and many patients find meaningful relief once they understand what’s really going on.
