Have you ever turned your head and suddenly felt dizzy, or dealt with neck pain that throws off your balance? If so, you’re not alone. Many adults in Delaware experience the frustrating combo of neck pain and dizziness. It can affect your work, your confidence, and your ability to enjoy life. It is a very bad feeling when you wake up to the room is spinning. Yikes!
The good news? It can go away fast! Physical therapy for dizziness and neck pain offers a safe, natural, and effective way to feel better fast. At Performance Physical Therapy in Delaware, we’ve helped thousands of people get lasting relief and return to the activities they love—without relying on medication or risky procedures. We treat dizziness almost every day, and we know how it can affect your life.
What Causes Neck Pain and Dizziness?
Your neck isn’t just there to hold your head up. It contains muscles, nerves, joints, and blood vessels that all help your brain stay balanced. If something in the neck gets irritated—like a pinched nerve, tight muscle, or joint restriction—it can send confusing signals to your brain. That’s when dizziness kicks in.
Here are some common reasons for neck pain and dizziness:
- Whiplash from a car accident
- Poor posture (especially from computers and phones!)
- Arthritis or disc issues in the neck
- Muscle tension from stress
- Inner ear problems are linked to your balance system
- Cervicogenic dizziness (when the neck causes unsteadiness)
When your neck isn’t working well, your balance and sense of direction can suffer too. Nothing feels good when the world is spinning.
How Physical Therapy Helps You Feel Better
If you’re in Delaware and searching for fast relief, physical therapy for dizziness is a smart choice. At Performance Physical Therapy, we offer one-on-one care to get to the root of your symptoms and give you a personalized plan to fix them. We can often fix dizziness in a few sessions.
Here’s what our physical therapy treatment can do for you:
