Cervicogenic dizziness is often misunderstood and misdiagnosed, leaving patients frustrated with recurring symptoms and few answers. At Patients Medical in New York City, we take an integrative approach—blending conventional, holistic, and functional medicine—to uncover the root causes of your dizziness and help you find lasting relief.
We treat more than just your neck—we treat the whole you.
Cervicogenic dizziness is a type of vertigo or unsteadiness that originates from issues in the cervical spine (neck). It’s typically triggered by head movements or certain neck positions, and can occur due to muscle tension, nerve compression, cervical disc disease, or whiplash injury.

✅ Posture and gait analysis
✅ Food sensitivity and gut inflammation testing
✅ Heavy metal and environmental toxin screening
