Cervicogenic dizziness is dizziness that originates from dysfunction of the neck. The joints, muscles and ligaments of the upper cervical spine contain specialised sensors that provide information to the brain about head position and movement. When these structures become painful, stiff or injured, they can send altered signals to the brain, resulting in dizziness, unsteadiness and difficulty maintaining balance.

Assessment & treatment

A vestibular or musculoskeletal physiotherapist can assess your neck, balance and dizziness to determine whether your symptoms are originating from the cervical spine. Treatment focuses on improving neck mobility, reducing pain, restoring normal movement and retraining your balance.

If another cause of dizziness is suspected, your physiotherapist may work alongside your GP or refer you to an appropriate medical specialist for further investigation.
