    Vertigo is a sensation of spinning that is often accompanied by nausea, unsteadiness, and difficulty maintaining balance. Unlike general dizziness, it creates the feeling that you or your surroundings are moving when no actual movement is occurring. Several conditions can contribute to vertigo symptoms. Common causes include inner ear disorders such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), vestibular neuritis, and Meniere’s disease, which affect the body's balance system. Cervicogenic vertigo may develop from problems in the upper cervical spine. Central nervous system conditions, including migraines, traumatic brain injuries, and brainstem disorders, may also play a role. Vertigo Treatment Phoenix focuses on identifying these underlying causes to support appropriate care.
