Vertigo Sarasota: If you’re living in Sarasota and suffering from vertigo, you’re likely familiar with the frustrating and sometimes debilitating sensation of dizziness, spinning, and imbalance that can disrupt daily activities. Vertigo is more than just a fleeting feeling of dizziness; for many, it’s a chronic condition that can significantly impact their quality of life. Thankfully, residents of Sarasota have a highly trained and experienced expert in Dr. Jacob Temple at Lavender Family Chiropractic.

Specializing in upper cervical chiropractic care, Dr. Temple has helped countless patients find relief from vertigo through targeted, gentle spinal adjustments that address the root cause of the condition. In this blog post, we’ll explore what causes vertigo, how upper cervical chiropractic care can help, and why Lavender Family Chiropractic should be your top choice for treating vertigo in Sarasota.

Understanding Vertigo: What Is It, and What Causes It?

Vertigo is a specific type of dizziness characterized by the sensation that either you or your surroundings are moving or spinning. While vertigo itself is a symptom rather than a disease, it can be caused by various underlying conditions. The most common types of vertigo include:

  • Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV): This is the most common form of vertigo and is caused by small crystals in the inner ear becoming dislodged, leading to balance issues and dizziness.
  • Meniere’s Disease: A disorder of the inner ear that leads to episodes of vertigo, tinnitus, hearing loss, and a feeling of fullness in the ear.
  • Vestibular Neuritis: An inflammation of the vestibular nerve, which helps control balance, often due to a viral infection.
  • Cervicogenic Vertigo: Vertigo caused by dysfunction or misalignment in the cervical spine, particularly in the upper cervical region.

Symptoms of vertigo can vary from mild to severe and may include nausea, vomiting, difficulty standing, loss of balance, and even blurred vision. Because vertigo can be linked to issues in the inner ear and nervous system, finding a treatment that addresses these areas is critical.

Do Any of These Symptoms Sound Familiar?

Vertigo doesn’t always look the same from person to person. If you’re experiencing any combination of the following, your case may be rooted in upper cervical dysfunction:

  • A spinning sensation when you roll over in bed, look up, or tilt your head
  • Feeling like you’re on a boat even when you’re standing still
  • Lightheadedness when you stand up from sitting or lying down
  • Dizziness paired with neck pain, stiffness, or headaches
  • Episodes of imbalance with no clear trigger
  • Brain fog, fatigue, or difficulty focusing alongside dizziness
  • Ear fullness, ringing (tinnitus), or muffled hearing during episodes
  • Nausea or motion sensitivity when driving, scrolling, or in busy environments
  • Symptoms that started after a car accident, fall, concussion, or illness
  • Vertigo that comes and goes for weeks, months, or years with no clear pattern

If you checked off two or more, the upper cervical spine is worth investigating.

When Vertigo Is a Medical Emergency

Most vertigo is benign and treatable — but in rare cases, dizziness can signal something more serious. Seek emergency care immediately if your vertigo is accompanied by any of the following:

  • Sudden severe headache unlike any you’ve had before
  • Slurred speech, facial drooping, or weakness on one side of the body
  • Double vision or sudden vision loss
  • Difficulty walking or standing that comes on suddenly
  • Chest pain, shortness of breath, or fainting
  • Loss of consciousness or confusion

These can be signs of stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), or other vascular emergencies. Once you’ve been medically cleared, we’d be glad to help you address the underlying upper cervical component of your dizziness.

How Dr. Jacob Temple Approaches Vertigo at Lavender Family Chiropractic

Dr. Jacob Temple is uniquely qualified to treat patients suffering from vertigo, thanks to his specialized training in upper cervical chiropractic care. His approach focuses on correcting misalignments in the upper cervical spine—specifically the atlas (C1) and axis (C2) vertebrae—which play a critical role in maintaining balance and proper communication between the brain and the body.

Why the Upper Cervical Spine Is Key to Treating Vertigo

The upper cervical spine is located at the base of the skull and is responsible for supporting the head while protecting the brainstem and key nerves that control balance, movement, and other essential functions. When the atlas or axis becomes misaligned, even slightly, it can interfere with the flow of information between the inner ear and the brain, leading to vertigo symptoms.

Misalignments in this area can cause:

  • Brainstem compression, which disrupts communication between the brain and the vestibular system (the part of the inner ear responsible for balance).
  • Nerve irritation, which can lead to symptoms like dizziness, nausea, and imbalance.
  • Restricted blood flow to the brain, affecting the body’s ability to regulate balance and spatial orientation.

By gently realigning the atlas and axis vertebrae, Dr. Temple helps restore normal function to the brainstem and vestibular system, allowing the body to heal and reduce vertigo symptoms naturally.

The Upper Cervical Chiropractic Approach to Vertigo Treatment

At Lavender Family Chiropractic, Dr. Temple takes a holistic, non-invasive approach to treating vertigo. Unlike traditional treatments, which may focus on medications or surgeries, upper cervical chiropractic care addresses the root cause of vertigo without the need for drugs or invasive procedures.

Initial Consultation and Comprehensive Diagnosis

Your journey to vertigo relief begins with a thorough consultation and diagnostic evaluation. Dr. Temple takes the time to understand your specific symptoms, medical history, and any previous treatments you may have tried. His personalized approach allows him to identify whether upper cervical misalignments are contributing to your vertigo.

Advanced diagnostic tools, such as digital imaging and X-rays, are often used to assess the alignment of the upper cervical spine. These precise measurements guide Dr. Temple in crafting a treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Precise and Gentle Adjustments

Once the diagnostic evaluation is complete, Dr. Temple performs gentle, precise adjustments to the upper cervical spine. These adjustments are very different from the more forceful, twisting manipulations that some people associate with traditional chiropractic care. Upper cervical adjustments require minimal pressure and are highly specific to the individual patient.

By realigning the atlas and axis vertebrae, Dr. Temple helps relieve the pressure on nerves and the brainstem, improving communication between the brain and the inner ear. This restoration of balance and proper function is key to alleviating vertigo symptoms.

Post-Adjustment Care and Monitoring

After each adjustment, Dr. Temple monitors your progress to ensure that your body is responding positively to the treatment. Because the upper cervical spine is such a delicate area, even small changes can have a significant impact on your overall health and well-being. Many patients report feeling relief after just a few adjustments, while others may require ongoing care to maintain proper alignment and prevent the recurrence of vertigo symptoms.

The Benefits of Upper Cervical Care for Vertigo Sufferers

One of the most significant advantages of upper cervical chiropractic care is its ability to address the root cause of vertigo rather than just masking symptoms. By restoring proper alignment to the upper cervical spine, this approach can provide long-lasting relief from vertigo without the side effects associated with medications or the risks of surgery.

Here are some of the key benefits of upper cervical chiropractic care for vertigo:

1. Non-Invasive and Drug-Free Treatment

Upper cervical chiropractic care is a non-invasive treatment option that does not rely on medications to manage symptoms. This makes it an excellent choice for patients who prefer a natural approach to healthcare or who may be unable to tolerate medications due to side effects.

2. Long-Lasting Relief

By addressing the underlying cause of vertigo, upper cervical chiropractic care offers long-lasting relief that goes beyond temporary symptom management. Many patients find that their vertigo improves dramatically after just a few adjustments, with some experiencing complete resolution of their symptoms.

3. Improved Nervous System Function

Upper cervical care not only helps relieve vertigo symptoms but also improves the overall function of the nervous system. When the spine is properly aligned, the brain and body can communicate more effectively, leading to better balance, coordination, and overall health.

4. Safe and Gentle for All Ages

Because upper cervical adjustments are so gentle, this form of chiropractic care is safe for patients of all ages, including those with more complex health conditions or delicate necks. Dr. Temple’s precise, targeted approach ensures that each adjustment is customized to meet the patient’s specific needs.

Success Stories: Vertigo Relief at Lavender Family Chiropractic

Patients who have suffered from vertigo for years often find new hope and relief through upper cervical chiropractic care. Below are a few success stories from real patients who have overcome vertigo with Dr. Temple’s help:

Case #1: Journey to Balance

She had been struggling with BPPV for over two years, experiencing frequent episodes of dizziness and imbalance. Traditional treatments, including medications and physical therapy, offered little relief, and her condition continued to worsen. After visiting Lavender Family Chiropractic and receiving upper cervical adjustments, she noticed an immediate improvement. Her vertigo episodes became less frequent, and within a few months, she was able to resume her normal activities without the fear of dizziness.

Case #2: Recovery from Vestibular Neuritis

He developed vestibular neuritis following a viral infection, leaving him with constant dizziness, nausea, and difficulty walking. His doctor prescribed medication, but the relief was only temporary, and the side effects were difficult to tolerate. After seeking care from Dr. Temple, he began a series of upper cervical adjustments that helped restore his balance and alleviate his dizziness. Today, he is back to his active lifestyle and no longer relies on medication for vertigo relief.

Case #3: Success with Cervicogenic Vertigo

She suffered from cervicogenic vertigo, which was misdiagnosed as migraines for years. Her vertigo symptoms included dizziness, neck pain, and headaches, making it difficult to work and care for her family. After visiting Lavender Family Chiropractic, Dr. Temple diagnosed her with upper cervical misalignment and began a targeted treatment plan. Within weeks, her vertigo symptoms improved, and she now enjoys a vertigo-free life.

Vertigo is rarely a stand-alone diagnosis. It’s almost always a symptom of something deeper going on in the nervous system, inner ear, vascular system, or upper cervical spine. Below are the 15 most common vertigo-related conditions we evaluate at Lavender Family Chiropractic in Sarasota — and the ones most often misdiagnosed, missed entirely, or simply medicated without ever addressing the root cause.

Each of these conditions has its own dedicated blog post on our site where we break down the cause, the connection to the upper cervical spine, and how Dr. Rusty Lavender and Dr. Jacob Temple work to help. Click any title to learn more.


1. Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)

BPPV is the most common type of vertigo, triggered when tiny calcium crystals in the inner ear (otoconia) become dislodged into the semicircular canals. Patients typically experience brief, intense spinning episodes when rolling over in bed, looking up, or tilting their head. Even after Epley maneuvers, recurring BPPV often points back to an upper cervical misalignment that disrupts inner ear function.


2. Vestibular Migraine

Vestibular migraines combine the dizziness of vertigo with the neurological storm of a migraine — sometimes with headache, sometimes without. Patients may experience hours of spinning, motion sensitivity, visual disturbances, and brain fog. Because the trigeminal nerve and vestibular system share pathways through the brainstem, upper cervical correction often produces dramatic relief.


3. Ménière’s Disease

Ménière’s disease causes recurring episodes of vertigo, hearing loss, tinnitus, and a feeling of fullness in the ear, believed to be caused by abnormal fluid pressure in the inner ear. Many Ménière’s patients have a history of head or neck trauma that predated their symptoms by months or years. Restoring upper cervical alignment can improve lymphatic drainage and nervous system regulation of the inner ear.


4. Cervicogenic Vertigo (Cervical Vertigo)

Cervicogenic vertigo is dizziness caused directly by dysfunction in the neck — particularly the upper cervical spine. Faulty sensory input from neck joints and muscles confuses the brain about head position, producing imbalance and disorientation. This is one of the most underdiagnosed forms of vertigo and one of the most responsive to upper cervical care.


5. Vestibular Neuritis

Vestibular neuritis is inflammation of the vestibular nerve, usually triggered by a viral infection, producing severe vertigo, nausea, and imbalance that can last days or weeks. Many patients never fully recover and are left with chronic dizziness long after the virus is gone. Upper cervical care helps the nervous system reorganize and compensate so the brain can heal properly.


6. Labyrinthitis

Labyrinthitis is similar to vestibular neuritis but also involves the cochlea, so patients experience vertigo plus hearing changes or tinnitus. Recovery is often incomplete because the brainstem and vestibular nuclei get “stuck” in a dysregulated pattern. Correcting the upper neck restores cleaner signaling between the inner ear and brain.


7. Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD)

PPPD is a chronic functional dizziness disorder that lingers after an initial vertigo episode resolves — patients feel constantly off, rocking, or floating. It’s driven by the nervous system getting locked into a hypersensitive state. Because PPPD lives in the brainstem and vestibular processing centers, upper cervical care is one of the most effective natural options.


8. Mal de Débarquement Syndrome (MdDS)

MdDS is the “land-sickness” feeling of rocking or swaying that persists after getting off a boat, plane, or car. For some it lasts hours; for others it becomes chronic and life-altering. Like PPPD, it represents a nervous system stuck in a maladaptive pattern, often anchored by upper cervical dysfunction.


9. Eustachian Tube Dysfunction (ETD)

The Eustachian tubes regulate pressure and drainage in the middle ear, and when they don’t function properly patients experience ear fullness, popping, muffled hearing, and dizziness. Because the muscles that open the Eustachian tubes are innervated from the upper cervical region, neck misalignments can directly drive ETD. Restoring alignment often resolves the chronic pressure and balance issues.


10. Craniocervical Instability (CCI)

CCI occurs when the ligaments holding the head to the neck become loose or damaged, allowing excessive motion at the skull-neck junction. This can compress the brainstem and disrupt vestibular signaling, producing vertigo, headaches, and a host of neurological symptoms. CCI patients require highly precise, gentle upper cervical care — not forceful manipulation.


11. POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome)

POTS is a dysautonomia where standing up triggers a rapid heart rate, dizziness, lightheadedness, and sometimes near-fainting. The vagus nerve and brainstem — both directly affected by upper cervical alignment — play a central role in POTS. Many POTS patients see significant improvements in dizziness and tolerance to standing after upper cervical correction.


12. Vagus Nerve Dysfunction

The vagus nerve regulates heart rate, digestion, blood pressure, and balance signaling — and it exits the skull right next to the atlas (C1). When the upper cervical spine is misaligned, the vagus nerve can become irritated, producing dizziness, brain fog, nausea, and autonomic dysfunction. Realigning the atlas often restores healthy vagal tone.


13. Vertebrobasilar Insufficiency (VBI)

VBI happens when blood flow through the vertebral arteries (which travel through the neck bones) is reduced, depriving the brainstem and inner ear of oxygen. Symptoms include dizziness on head turning, visual disturbances, drop attacks, and imbalance. Gentle upper cervical care — without twisting or cracking — is one of the safest approaches for patients with vascular sensitivity.


14. Post-Concussion Vertigo

After a concussion or head injury, many patients are left with lingering dizziness, balance issues, and brain fog — sometimes for months or years. The upper cervical spine is almost always injured in a concussion because the head whips on the neck even without direct impact. Correcting the resulting misalignment is often the missing piece in post-concussion recovery.


15. Whiplash-Associated Vertigo

Whiplash from car accidents, falls, or sports injuries frequently produces vertigo that doesn’t show up on standard imaging. The injury damages the small joints and sensors of the upper cervical spine that feed the brain critical balance information. Patients who address the upper cervical injury — instead of just treating the soft tissue — often see their vertigo finally resolve.

Top 15 FAQs About Upper Cervical Chiropractic and Vertigo Relief in Sarasota, Florida


1. What is upper cervical chiropractic care?

Upper cervical chiropractic is a highly specialized form of care that focuses on correcting misalignments in the top two bones of the neck—the atlas (C1) and axis (C2). These bones protect the brainstem, which plays a major role in balance, coordination, and nervous system function.

Unlike traditional chiropractic, this approach uses precise, gentle corrections without twisting, cracking, or popping.


2. How does the upper neck affect vertigo?

The upper cervical spine sits directly next to the brainstem and vestibular centers. When misaligned, it can disrupt communication between the brain and body, leading to dizziness, imbalance, and vertigo symptoms.


3. Can upper cervical chiropractic actually help vertigo?

Yes. Many cases of vertigo—especially when persistent or recurring—are linked to dysfunction in the nervous system. By correcting the root misalignment, the body can restore normal balance and reduce or eliminate vertigo symptoms over time.


4. What types of vertigo can this help with?

Upper cervical care may help with:

  • BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo)
  • Vestibular migraines
  • Meniere’s disease
  • Chronic dizziness
  • PPPD (Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness)

5. How is this different from a regular chiropractor?

Most chiropractors adjust the entire spine using twisting or cracking techniques. Upper cervical chiropractors focus only on the top of the neck and use advanced imaging and analysis to deliver extremely precise corrections.


6. Is upper cervical care safe?

Yes. It is considered one of the gentlest forms of chiropractic care available, using light, specific adjustments tailored to your anatomy.


7. Do adjustments hurt?

No. Most patients are surprised by how gentle the adjustment is. There is no popping, twisting, or cracking involved.


8. How do you know if my neck is misaligned?

A proper upper cervical office uses:

  • 3D CBCT imaging
  • Functional nervous system scans (like thermography)
  • Detailed posture and neurological assessments

This allows for precise measurement of any misalignment.


9. How long does it take to see results for vertigo?

Every case is different, but many patients begin noticing changes within the first few weeks. Long-standing or complex cases may take longer as the body heals and stabilizes.


10. Why hasn’t my vertigo gone away with other treatments?

Most treatments (like medication or physical therapy) focus on managing symptoms, not correcting the underlying cause. If the root issue is in the upper cervical spine, symptoms may keep returning until it is addressed.


11. Can upper cervical care help if I’ve had vertigo for years?

Yes. Many patients with chronic vertigo find relief even after years of symptoms, especially when the cause is related to long-standing neck misalignment.


12. Is imaging really necessary?

Absolutely. The upper cervical spine is highly complex, and precision matters. Imaging ensures that corrections are specific and safe, rather than guesswork.


13. Will I need a lot of adjustments?

The goal is not frequent adjustments—it’s holding your correction. When the spine stabilizes, visits typically decrease over time.


14. Can this help with other symptoms besides vertigo?

Yes. Because the brainstem controls many functions, patients often see improvements in:

  • Headaches and migraines
  • Neck pain
  • Brain fog
  • Ear pressure or tinnitus
  • Balance and coordination

15. How do I find the right upper cervical chiropractor near me in Sarasota?

Look for a practice that:

  • Focuses specifically on upper cervical care
  • Uses advanced imaging like CBCT
  • Offers gentle, precise adjustments
  • Has experience with vertigo cases

If you’re searching for a “vertigo doctor near me” or “upper cervical chiropractor Sarasota”, make sure they specialize in this technique—not just general chiropractic.

What the Research Says: The Scientific Case for Upper Cervical Care in Vertigo

We believe patients deserve more than promises — they deserve evidence. While upper cervical chiropractic care continues to evolve as a specialty, a growing body of published research supports the connection between the upper cervical spine, the vestibular system, and chronic dizziness disorders. Below are five peer-reviewed studies every patient should be aware of when evaluating their options for vertigo care.

1. Burcon — Cervical Specific Protocol in 300 Ménière’s Patients

Dr. Michael Burcon’s landmark research, Health Outcomes Following Cervical Specific Protocol in 300 Patients with Meniere’s Followed Over Six Years, published in the Journal of Upper Cervical Chiropractic Research, followed 300 consecutive Ménière’s disease patients managed under an upper cervical protocol for six years. The study documented that the vast majority of patients reported a history of head or neck trauma that preceded their Ménière’s diagnosis by an average of approximately 15 years — providing strong biomechanical rationale for upper cervical involvement in Ménière’s. Burcon has presented these findings to more than 2,000 ear, nose, and throat surgeons and 1,000 chiropractors across four continents.

2. Li et al. (2022) — Proprioceptive Cervicogenic Dizziness Narrative Review

Published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine, Proprioceptive Cervicogenic Dizziness: A Narrative Review of Pathogenesis, Diagnosis, and Treatment evaluated the science behind dizziness caused by neck dysfunction. The authors note that one large clinical observation of 1,000 cases found cervicogenic dizziness accounted for up to 89% of dizziness or vertigo presentations, and that among patients with whiplash injuries, the prevalence of dizziness ranged from 20% to 90%. The review highlights how dysfunction of cervical proprioceptors creates sensory mismatch between vestibular, visual, and proprioceptive inputs — exactly the mechanism we address with precise upper cervical correction.

3. Özgirgin et al. (2024) — Residual Dizziness After BPPV

Published in Frontiers in Neurology, Residual Dizziness After BPPV Management: Exploring Pathophysiology and Treatment Beyond Canalith Repositioning Maneuvers examined why patients continue to experience dizziness after successful canalith repositioning maneuvers like the Epley. The authors documented annual BPPV recurrence rates of 15–20%, with residual dizziness affecting 31–61% of patients even after the inner ear crystals were repositioned successfully. The findings support what we see clinically every week at Lavender Family Chiropractic — when BPPV keeps returning despite repeated Epley maneuvers, the underlying contribution from the cervical spine often has not been addressed.

4. Treleaven et al. (2022) — Cervical Factors in Whiplash-Associated Dizziness

Published in BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, Cervical Musculoskeletal, Physical and Psychological Factors Associated with Ongoing Dizziness in Patients with Whiplash Associated Disorder followed 172 individuals with persistent whiplash-associated disorder for 12 months. The researchers found that 63% reported ongoing dizziness, and that persistent dizziness was strongly associated with reduced cervical neck-muscle endurance and lack of improvement in neck disability scores — pointing directly to the cervical spine as a driver of chronic post-whiplash dizziness. This is the body of research that makes a thorough cervical examination essential after any car accident, fall, or sports injury.

5. De Vestel et al. (2022) — Systematic Review of Manual Therapy for Cervicogenic Dizziness

Published in the Journal of Manual and Manipulative Therapy, Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of the Therapeutic Management of Patients with Cervicogenic Dizziness evaluated manual therapy as treatment for cervicogenic dizziness across multiple randomized controlled trials. The authors concluded that there is moderate evidence supporting the use of manual therapy targeted at the cervical spine for reducing dizziness intensity and improving cervical range of motion — particularly in the short term. This is the foundation for the precision upper cervical approach we use at Lavender Family Chiropractic.


Research is most useful when it informs care decisions, not when it replaces them. If you are suffering from vertigo, dizziness, BPPV, Ménière’s, vestibular migraine, PPPD, MdDS, or post-traumatic vertigo, the only way to know whether upper cervical care can help your specific case is a thorough evaluation. We would be honored to perform that evaluation for you.
