A Brain First approach to restoring stability and control

Persistent dizziness, unsteadiness, or vertigo is rarely just an ear problem.

Balance is controlled by how the brain integrates information from the inner ear, eyes, neck, and body. When this integration is disrupted, symptoms can persist even when scans or tests appear normal.

A Brain First chiropractic approach focuses on restoring how the brain processes balance and sensory input so stability, clarity, and confidence can return.

When to see a balance disorder Chiropractor

This approach may be appropriate if you:

• History of ear or tooth infections

• Post concussion and whiplash (link to both relevant pages)

• Feel dizzy, unsteady, or disoriented

• Avoid movement or environments due to symptoms

• Have lingering balance issues after illness or injury

• Experience vestibular migraines or motion sensitivity

• Have not improved with rest or medication alone

Early support can help, but care can also be effective months or years after onset.

Common balance and vestibular symptoms

Balance disorders often fluctuate and can feel unpredictable.

Common symptoms include:

• Dizziness or light headedness

• Unsteadiness or feeling off balance

• Vertigo or spinning sensations

• Motion sensitivity or nausea

• Brain fog or difficulty concentrating

• Visual discomfort or sensitivity

• Neck stiffness or postural tension

• Anxiety related to movement or environments

If symptoms persist, the nervous system may still be dysregulated.

Balance and vestibular conditions supported

This Brain First chiropractic approach is commonly used to support people with:

• PPPD (Persistent Postural Perceptual Dizziness)

• BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo)

• Post concussive syndrome

• Mal de debarquement syndrome

• Vestibular neuritis

• Motion sickness

• Dizziness or disequilibrium

• Vertigo

• Labyrinthitis

• Ménière’s disease

• Vestibulopathy

• Vestibular migraine

Care is guided by neurological findings rather than diagnosis labels alone

Why a Brain First Chiropractic approach works

Balance disorders are driven by how the brain integrates sensory input.

When signals from the inner ear, eyes, neck, and joints are mismatched, the brain compensates. These compensations can maintain dizziness, instability, and fatigue even after the original trigger has resolved.

Brain First chiropractic care focuses on:

• Restoring balance system integration

• Improving eye head and body coordination

• Reducing sensory mismatch and overload

• Supporting nervous system regulation

• Addressing neck and postural contributors

This approach targets why balance symptoms persist, not just where they are felt.

How balance disorder Chiropractic Care is delivered

Care is personalised and guided by neurological assessment.

Treatment may include:

• Head and eye movement based neurological input

• Brain based chiropractic care

• Gentle nervous system regulation strategies

• Targeted movement and coordination work

• Support for cervical spine involvement
