Vertigo Isn’t Always an Inner Ear Problem | Upper Cervical Southlake

Vertigo, BPPV, Meniere’s disease, and vestibular migraine are often treated like inner-ear problems. The label can be useful. It is not the foundation. If the room spins when you roll over, grocery aisles make you grab the cart, one ear roars, or Epley helped for two days and the spinning came back, the usual path may be incomplete. A normal MRI does not mean the case is closed. Dr. Joey Kramer at Hope Upper Cervical Spine Center in Southlake explains how these presentations differ — brief spin on rolling over, longer attacks with hearing change and ear fullness, light-and-motion episodes — and why upper cervical analysis has to come first. Process in this office: Complete history — goals and clinical outcomes Thermography — qualify whether the nervous system belongs in this model of care Upper cervical X-ray — case analysis and case complexity Then correction Upper cervical is the foundation, regardless of the diagnosis.
