Lasting Vertigo Relief and Treatment — Vertigo relief starts with NUCCA

You’ve tried everything.

The spinny chair. The Epley maneuver. Maybe even herbs and holistic devices. Yet here you are—still spinning, still disoriented, still wondering what’s going on inside your body.

You’re not alone. And you’re not imagining it.

Meet Hannah.

She came into our office experiencing 2–3 vertigo attacks per week. The kind of dizzy that makes the floor feel like it’s shifting beneath you. The kind of episodes that make daily life unpredictable and exhausting.

She’d seen every kind of specialist—from neurologists to dizziness experts—and had every test imaginable. And yet, nothing stuck. Nothing healed.

Here’s what made the difference:

We looked at her upper cervical spine—specifically, the atlas bone, or C1. What we found was a subtle but critical misalignment that was compressing tissue near her brainstem, disrupting her vestibular function and vagus nerve flow.

One month into NUCCA care? One vertigo episode.

Five months in? Zero.

This wasn’t magic. It was structure.

Let’s talk about what most approaches miss:

Vertigo often gets treated as an inner ear problem. And yes, the vestibular system is involved—but what controls that system? What interprets balance, direction, and motion?

👉 Your brainstem.

And the brainstem? It sits right at the junction between your skull and spine.

This area is home to the vagus nerve—a critical pathway that regulates heart rate, digestion, balance, and inflammation. If your C1 is rotated, even by a degree, it can compress the tissue surrounding that nerve and distort the messages it’s trying to send.

So instead of chasing vertigo with short-term tools, Hannah addressed the root: 🔹 realignment of C1 🔹 release of neural compression 🔹 restoration of full-body regulation

What Is NUCCA?

NUCCA is a gentle, precise method that realigns the head and neck without any cracking or force. We use imaging and calculations to correct the misalignment—allowing your body’s internal communication to return to normal.

When communication is restored, symptoms resolve.

Why You Still Feel Dizzy

Even if you’re eating clean, doing breath work, or wearing prism glasses, your body can’t regulate properly if the root alignment is off. You’re trying the right tools on the wrong foundation.

But here’s the good news: You can check this. You can find out if your atlas bone is the culprit.And it doesn’t take another invasive test.
