Vertigo and Dizziness Care in Buffalo, NY
Vertigo and dizziness can be unsettling, especially when they interfere with walking, driving, working, or daily routines. Some people describe it as spinning, lightheadedness, imbalance, or feeling off-center.
At WNY Spine Chiropractic, we help patients in Buffalo and Niagara Falls evaluate whether neck function, posture, or musculoskeletal tension may be contributing to dizziness-related symptoms.
What Is Vertigo or Dizziness?
Vertigo is often described as a spinning sensation, while dizziness can feel like lightheadedness, imbalance, or unsteadiness. These symptoms can have many causes, so evaluation is important.
In some cases, neck tension, restricted movement, or prior injury may play a role in how the body senses balance and position.

How Chiropractic Care May Help
Chiropractic care may help when dizziness is connected to neck tension, restricted movement, or posture-related strain. The goal is to improve function and reduce irritation in the surrounding structures.
Because dizziness can have many causes, we’ll take a careful approach and recommend additional evaluation when needed.
