Assessment of cervicogenic vertigo.

A new method for assessing cervicogenic vertigo is presented. This method can quickly assess the origins of vertigo. Preliminary data on 235 patients found that 112, (47.6%), were positive to the tests. After 18 treatments, 101 of the patients (90.2%) were symptom free. The patients responding best suffered acute upper cervical joint problems, along with muscle trauma in that region. The neurophysiology of the area is reviewed so that the mechanisms and the tests are understood.
