If you’ve ever experienced vertigo, you know it’s not “just dizziness.” It’s the sudden spin. The nausea that comes out of nowhere. The fear of turning your head the “wrong” way. The anxiety of not knowing when the next episode will hit. You may have been told:
“It’s your inner ear.”
“It’s just stress.”
“Learn to live with it.”
“Take this medication.”
But deep down, you know something isn’t right. What If Vertigo Isn’t the Problem—But a Signal?
Vertigo 101
What is Vertigo?
Vertigo is often the body’s warning light, not the root issue; it is rather a symptom of an underlying condition, usually related to issues with the inner ear or brain caused by injury or illness and resulting in the following symptoms:
-Spinning sensations
-Lightheadedness
-Motion sensitivity
-Brain fog
-Nausea
-Anxiety or panic during episodes
What Causes Vertigo?
Balance is controlled by a delicate communication system between the brainstem, the inner ear, and the upper cervical spine (top of the neck). The top bone of your neck (the atlas) sits directly beneath the brainstem and next to the balance centers of the nervous system. When this system is clear and balanced, your body knows where it is in space.
If that bone is misaligned—even by millimeters due to things such as fluid buildup from an infection or whiplpash it can alter neurological signals that affect balance and orientation resulting in Vertigo.
Why Traditional Approaches Often Fall Short
Many vertigo sufferers cycle through:
-Medications that dull symptoms but don’t fix the cause
-Vestibular exercises that help some but not all
Imaging that “looks normal”
-Reassurance without real answers
These approaches often miss one key question:
Is the nervous system being mechanically distorted at the upper neck?
How Can a NUCCA Doctor Help?
A misaligned spine typically begins with injury to the head or neck but can also be caused by stress, sudden head movements, or allergies. The goal isn’t to “treat vertigo.” The goal is to: Remove interference at the brainstem level so the body can regain its own balance. NUCCA (National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association) is a highly specialized, gentle approach that focuses exclusively on the upper cervical spine.
Patient Experiences
Real People. Real Pain. Real Relief.
After a recent medical procedure, I was experiencing severe daily vertigo, headaches, neck & spine pain, tailbone pain, not sleeping and lack of appetite for nearly two months. My first visit with Dr. Ross was nothing short of a miracle. After my first visit I slept through the night, headaches disappeared, vertigo gone and my appetite came back immediately. Dr.Ross uses the gentle NUCCA chiropractic approach and is very thorough during his evaluation. I highly recommend this approach over regular chiropractic care for those who want a gentle and immediate relief of any spinal pain issues. -Thank you Dr. Ross-
Continuing to not have neck pain or headaches has been so nice. Before this treatment, I was constantly worried about my neck pain- and not as happy as I could be. The treatments are so gentle and as someone with anxiety, it was a real positive to not be stressed out by the treatments, they are so gentle- yet precise. Dr Ross is so specific and engineered a plan to get lasting results. Thank you Dr Charlie Ross DC
I had a chiropractic adjustment and it helped me recover. My spinal curvature and pain have now disappeared. I'm very grateful to the doctor for his thorough examination and treatment. I can now work normally. I'm very grateful to Dr. Charlie Ross for his treatment of my body, which has helped me reduce pain and work normally. I highly recommend Dr. Charlie Ross's treatment. He's been very helpful!
Dr. Ross goes above and beyond! I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2011. I was plagued with chronic pain & fatigue, brain fog, and migraines. I couldn't do very much outside of work (desk job). My correction is more complicated than most, but he took the time to properly assess and reassess my case to provide the care that I need. In the short time that I have been a patient of Dr. Ross' (6 months), there has been a remarkable reduction in my symptoms and a significant improvement to my overall quality of life!
As a very active 68-year-old, I want to continue enjoying my golf activities with minimal soreness afterwards. The examination, particularly the x-rays, were very specific and detailed. After a few NUCCA Adjustments, I noticed that my hip pain was gone, I no longer had headaches, and my neck was more mobile. Dr. Ross recommended a very reasonable treatment plan, with the goal of having me come less frequently as the adjustments hold longer. I am very thankful for Dr. Charlie Ross; he is knowledgeable and communicates in a way that you don’t need a Ph.D to understand!!
After years of suffering from neck pain, pain between my shoulders, back pain, and tingling in my arms, I finally found relief. I used to be so uncomfortable that I needed all sorts of different treatments two or three times a week just to get by. NUCCA (Upper Cervical) adjustments have made a huge difference in my day to day life. Over four to six weeks, my symptoms gradually disappeared. Now, I have no back pain at all and can get through my day without discomfort. I no longer feel like I need a treatment just to survive the pain. I still go once or twice a month for a check-up, which keeps me feeling great. What I love about NUCCA is how precise it is. Dr. Charlie Ross is incredibly analytical and figures out exactly what's needed at each visit. It's like a logical, focused, and highly engineered approach to treatment—and it worked for me -without the constant need for more...
Dr. Ross has been tremendously helpful in reducing my pain and fatigue throughout my body along with migraines. Upper Cervical care has improved my quality of life. Dr. Ross is very proactive when it comes to treatment plans and is very thorough with his assessments!
NUCAA: A Special Upper Cervical Chiropractic Technique
Is NUCCA Care Right for You?
This is not twisting. This is not cracking. This is not guessing.
NUCCA is one of the most widely known chiropractic techniques aiming to restore balance in your body and address postural distortions.
The Science Behind NUCCA
Neurons fire signals from the brain through the spinal cord to help control specific tissues such as muscles or organs. When the neck or spinal cord is injured, or misaligned due to injury or distortion, psychological functions such as blood pressure, immune system defense, and blood and tissue repair can suffer. NUCCA works by providing gentle adjustments to the C1 and C2 bone alignments. When your neck maintains alignment, the nervous system begins to heal.
Is NUCCA Right for You?
NUCCA can be provided to people of any age, including infants! NUCCA care may be worth exploring if:
-Your vertigo is recurring or unresolved
-You want a drug-free, conservative approach
-You value precision and neurological integrity
-You want to understand why your body is reacting the way it is
What Happens During a Visit?
- A detailed consultation
-Neurological and postural evaluation
-Specialized imaging (when indicated)
-A clear explanation of findings—no pressure, no hype
