Effective Treatment for Cervicogenic Dizziness in Canary Wharf
Introduction
Welcome to myChiro Clinic in Canary Wharf. We specialise in providing outstanding care for individuals experiencing dizziness arising from the neck, also known as cervicogenic dizziness. Our dedicated team of chiropractors, physiotherapists, and sports massage therapists offer personalised treatment solutions to manage and alleviate your symptoms effectively.
Understanding Cervicogenic Dizziness
Cervicogenic dizziness is a condition where dizziness is caused by issues in the neck, such as poor posture, neck injuries, or degenerative changes in the cervical spine. This type of dizziness often accompanies neck pain and stiffness and can be triggered by head movements or prolonged positions. Our experienced team will assess your specific symptoms and create a tailored treatment plan to address your needs.
Our Treatment Techniques
- Targeted Exercises: We recommend specific exercises to improve neck strength and flexibility, helping to alleviate dizziness. These exercises are part of your appointments and home exercise programme. Studies have shown that targeted physical therapy can significantly reduce symptoms of cervicogenic dizziness (Cleveland Clinic) (Spine-health).
- Chiropractic Care: Gentle adjustments may be used to realign the cervical spine, which can reduce dizziness and improve overall neck function. Research indicates that chiropractic manipulative therapy can effectively treat cervicogenic dizziness (Mayo Clinic).
- Dry Needling (Medical Acupuncture): This technique helps release muscle tension and reduce pain in the neck, potentially alleviating dizziness.
- Collaborative Approach: Our team includes chiropractors, massage therapists, and physiotherapists, working together to provide comprehensive care. Each professional brings their expertise to create a holistic treatment plan.
Self-Care Options
For managing cervicogenic dizziness at home, self-care methods such as over-the-counter pain relief (e.g., ibuprofen), heat/cold therapy, and gentle neck stretching exercises can be beneficial. Maintaining good posture and avoiding prolonged positions can also help. However, professional guidance is essential for persistent or severe symptoms.
Recognise Serious Symptoms
If you experience additional symptoms such as severe headache, vision changes, or difficulty speaking, seek immediate medical attention. These symptoms may indicate a more serious underlying condition that requires specialised care.
Why Choose Our Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care offers a non-invasive, holistic approach to managing dizziness arising from the neck.

Our approach may also include nutritional advice, lifestyle modifications, and ergonomic recommendations to support your overall well-being.
