Chiropractic Neurology for Dizziness and Vertigo

Whether you say dizziness or vertigo, the first thing in a chiropractic neurologists’ mind is vestibular dysfunction. There are techniques and exercises that we use to help calm this problem down. Besides the chiropractic adjustment, we also focus on specialized exercises to retrain your brain to support a better brain-body connection.

Understanding Vestibular Dysfunction

 

The vestibular system consists of the semicircular canals and the otolith organs. There are three semicircular canals that detect rotational motions, and there are two otolith organs that detect linear motion and gravity. Inside of the semicircular canals is a fluid substance with hairs on the walls. When the head moves, the fluid moves and triggers movement of the hairs. The otoliths are the utricle and saccule. The utricle is responsible for horizontal movement, as well as tilting, and the saccule is responsible for vertical movement. When the hairs move, it triggers signals to the brain. Damage or dysfunction within any of these tissues can lead to dizziness and vertigo, as well as balance problems and nausea. The intensity of the disorientation can vary from episode to episode and person to person.

Why Symptoms Can Continue

Ongoing damage to the ear structures can lead to persistent symptoms. At some point the brain and its neuroplasticity will not be able to adapt fast enough to compensate for the disorientation.

How Chiropractic Neurology Care May Help

The adjustments will help to connect the brain to the body, as well as the sensory exercise. When there is a poor connection between the spine, ears, eyes, and brain, the brain sends out a distress signal that creates the sensation of dizziness. The ears, eyes, and spine all communicate about how to move the head in relation to the body and space. If there is a spasm or malposition of the muscles and bones of the spine, this can create interference with the communication between the areas. By removing this interference, we can ‘reconnect’ areas that might not have full representation in the brain.

Our Approach to Care

Apex Chiropractic reception area
=

Individualized care plans

Your care is built around your symptoms, history, and how your neck and nervous system are functioning — not a standard protocol

=

Gentle, targeted techniques

Chiropractic care is not just one method. We use a variety of techniques and choose what’s appropriate for your comfort, mobility, and condition

=

Rehabilitation at the right time

When your body is ready, we may introduce exercises to support posture, stability, and long-term neck function

=

Imaging when clinically indicated

If needed, we can order X-rays or MRIs to better understand structural or disc-related issues

=

Advanced testing when appropriate

In certain cases, tests like EMGs or nerve conduction studies (NCVs) can help evaluate nerve involvement

=

Ongoing monitoring

We track how your symptoms and function change over time — not just day-to-day pain levels

Care that adapts with you

As your neck improves or your needs change, your care plan is adjusted accordingly

Collaboration with other providers

When helpful, we coordinate with medical doctors, physical therapists, and other providers involved in your care

My first visit with Dr Moje has already brought noticeable improvement with relief. I would’ve never expected to be breathing more fully but I noticed that as well. Who knew he could work on my vagus nerve?! I woke up the next day feeling so much calmer. His neurological approach is remarkably different from other Chiropractors. I’m so glad I found this practice!

Dr. Moje and the staff at Apex is absolutely amazing. My pain in pregnancy was significantly reduced by seeing him throughout. They were always a breeze to schedule with as well. I can’t speak highly enough about them!

As a mother of a child in pain, I can't express how wonderful Dr. Jahnke and Dr. Moje are. My daughter has a connective tissue disease that left her in pain daily. She grew up using a wheelchair and FAO's to assist her in daily life. As soon as I found out that Dr. Jahnke knew what Ehler's Danlos was, I made the appointment. My daughter went for several visits but she said after the first few she could feel a huge difference. A month ago, she hiked up a 1.4 mile hike at a 60 degree incline. She would never have made it or even been able to try without Apex Chiropractic's assistance. I highly recommend them especially if you have EDS. There is no reason to suffer in silence and in pain when Apex is around.

This is one of my favorite places. I have been seeing Dr. Moji for Chiropractic Care and Dr.Jahnke for functional medicine/nutrition for over 5 years now. They have helped me so much with shoulder pain and digestive issues. I have always felt so cared for by them. This is the perfect place for peope looking to improve their health overall. Also, Tana Luckie, the massage therapist there, is a beautiful addition to the team!!

Dr Moje has been a life saver for me. Earlier in the year I fell and suffered a concussion. I had been to several doctors and therapist with little improvement. After seeing Dr Moje for a couple of months, I am feeling much better! He has been kind, patient and knowledgeable and given me very helpful referrals as well. His care is holistic and has put me on a path to physical and emotional healing. I highly recommend seeing Dr Moje to start your healing journey!

Three members of our extended family have been under Dr. Moje's care for the last few years. We greatly value his professional competence and effectiveness. In addition, he is an empathetic and good-humored physician.
