Why Vertigo Persists: Brainstem, Atlas, and Mixed Signals | Southlake

BPPV treated. Meniere’s labeled. Vestibular migraine managed. Epley done. MRI normal. And the room still moves. Dr. Joey Kramer at Hope Upper Cervical Spine Center in Southlake explains the mechanism: three inputs to balance, the brainstem as the switchboard, and why an atlas shift can cap orientation even when the ear label is right. Upper cervical is the foundation under the diagnosis. We do not start with a correction. We qualify first — complete history, thermography, then upper cervical X-ray for case analysis and complexity.
