What CNC may evaluate
- Pattern and duration of dizziness or vertigo episodes
- Eye movements, gaze stability, and vestibulo-ocular reflex findings when appropriate
- Balance, gait, and coordination between episodes
- Positional testing when another vestibular problem such as BPPV is part of the differential
- Cervical and proprioceptive findings that may contribute separately to dizziness or instability
How care is approached
When the diagnosis has been medically evaluated and the patient is stable, chiropractic-neurology care may be used as a supportive part of a broader plan for persistent imbalance or motion sensitivity. Depending on findings, this can include individualized vestibular rehabilitation, gaze-stability activities, balance and coordination work, graded movement, and treatment of a separate cervical musculoskeletal problem when present. Care is coordinated with medical management rather than used as a substitute for it.
Why the differential diagnosis matters
Vertigo and dizziness can come from many causes. Ménière’s disease can overlap symptomatically with BPPV, vestibular migraine, medication effects, neurological disorders, and other inner-ear conditions. A consolidated neurological and vestibular approach therefore begins by determining which findings are consistent with the known diagnosis and which findings may point to another problem that needs separate evaluation.
