Cervicogenic Dizziness Literature Review

Is there evidence to treat dizziness from the neck is a common question we get.  The short answer is YES!

Cervicogenic dizziness is a clinical syndrome characterized by the presence of dizziness and associated neck pain in patients with cervical pathology.  There are many ways to treat the condition, including manual therapy, exercise, surgery and medication.

This literature review is conducted on studies aimed at manual therapy and exercise for cervicogenic dizziness.

Even though there is controversy associated with the diagnosis of this disorder, we have plenty of evidence.  The evidence ranges from acupuncture to physical therapy articles.

Within these professions, there are ranges of evidence from case reports to systematic reviews.  As of 2022, you will be surprised what type of intervention has the ONLY meta-analysis!

Our Cervicogenic Dizziness Literature Review e-book gives you all of the treatment information.  This review will not teach you how to treat Cervicogenic Dizziness, but will lay out studies in order of evidence hierarchy.
