Vertigo can be disorienting and disruptive to daily life, and at our Winter Garden clinic on N Dillard St, Dr. Michael St. Louis applies Atlas Orthogonal upper cervical care to address the cervical and vestibular dysfunction that often underlies dizziness, spinning, and balance problems. By precisely correcting misalignments at the top of the spine, this gentle approach aims to restore proper neurological function and reduce the signals contributing to vertigo symptoms.
Winter Garden residents dealing with persistent vertigo now have a drug-free, non-invasive option close to home. Dr. St. Louis's focused expertise in upper cervical care makes him well suited to evaluate whether spinal alignment is playing a role in your vestibular health.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can vertigo after a sports concussion be related to upper cervical misalignment?
Yes. Athletes who take hits to the head or neck during football, soccer, or other contact sports can develop cervical spine misalignments alongside a concussion, and this combination often produces lingering dizziness and balance issues. Our clinical team's advanced diagnostics help determine whether cervical dysfunction is contributing to post-concussion vertigo symptoms in young athletes.
My child plays youth sports in west Orange County — should vertigo after a fall be evaluated?
Absolutely. With Winter Garden's active youth sports culture, dizziness or balance changes following a fall, collision, or headfirst impact warrant evaluation. Our clinical team assesses pediatric patients for cervical involvement that may be contributing to vertigo, helping families understand whether upper cervical care is an appropriate part of their child's recovery plan.
Is upper cervical care safe for athletes who need to return to peak performance?
Upper cervical care is a precise, non-invasive approach that doesn't involve forceful manipulation, making it a reasonable option to explore for athletes managing vertigo symptoms while working toward a return to training. Our clinical team can discuss how addressing cervical alignment fits alongside other steps in an athlete's broader performance and recovery plan.
How does Atlas Injury to Health's connection to professional athletes shape vertigo care here?
Our relationships within NFL athlete circles inform how our Winter Garden clinical team approaches vertigo tied to sport-related head and neck trauma, from youth leagues to serious competitors. This perspective shapes a prevention-minded evaluation process focused on identifying cervical contributors to dizziness before they affect performance or daily function.
How We Treat Vertigo
Vertigo treatment at Atlas Injury to Health focuses on the cervical-vestibular connection that most practitioners overlook.
Our approach centers on Atlas Orthogonal precision adjustments to correct upper cervical misalignments that compress the vestibular nerve. When this nerve receives clear, unimpeded signals, your brain's balance system functions as it should.
We complement this with:
- The Epley Maneuver for BPPV — repositioning displaced calcium crystals to eliminate positional vertigo triggers
- Custom vestibular rehabilitation exercises to retrain your balance system and strengthen supporting muscles
- Targeted neck strengthening and mobility work to maintain cervical alignment
- Lifestyle modifications including stress reduction, proper hydration, and nutritional support
Many of our vertigo patients have tried everything from medication to ENT specialists with limited results. The difference is that we address the cervical spine — the structural component that connects directly to your balance system. When alignment is restored, vertigo symptoms often resolve dramatically.

- Nausea and vomiting during episodes

“I’ve had experience with an Atlas Dr in the past but more recently with this amazing Dr. I was desperate for answers when I started experiencing vertigo and could not find help with western medicine. Dr. Michael St. Louis was not only able to resolve my vertigo completely, but he was able to resolve a dozen other issues that were occurring with my health as a result of my Atlas being misaligned. Some of the issues I was experiencing I wasn’t even aware of until they disappeared. My sleep has improved. My digestive issues are nonexistent. I haven’t had a headache since being under his care. The brain fog I was experiencing has disappeared. The pain in my neck from being out of alignment has ceased. I feel more balanced and grounded and an overall sense of well being which I have not experience in many years. I breathe more deeply and fully. I am so thankful that I found Dr Michael St. Louis. His bedside manner is above and beyond and he ideas about our bodies being able to naturally heal themselves as long as our spines are in alignment, (among other things) are right in line with my belief system. The staff and all the sweet women who work along side him are so helpful and courteous. They make coming to the office for my appointments, a great experience, one I look forward to.”

“I’ve been going here for about five weeks now and in just a short amount of time I’ve found relief. I suffered from migraines, occipital neuralgia, cervicogenic headaches, vertigo, and tmjd for 20 years. I’ve gone to so many specialist and even other chiropractors throughout the years and never found a solution. I always knew my issues were coming from my neck and so I was happy when I found a chiropractor who is knowledgeable in atlas orthogonal. I went from having two to three migraines a week to not having any in the five weeks that I’ve been in treatment. The doctor and his staff are all amazing and genuinely care about your well being.”
