Under unstable conditions, cervical facet joints are prone to dislocation, cervical rotation and abnormal range of motion; Soft tissues inside and outside the cervical spinal canal are also prone to secondary aseptic inflammation or bony lip hyperplasia of cervical vertebrae, facet joints and uncinate joints. Vertebral artery is located at the anterolateral autonomic nerve chain of cervical vertebra or the transverse foramen of cervical vertebra. Stimulation by aseptic inflammation, mechanical compression or autonomic nerve stimulation will cause reflex spasm of vertebral artery. At this time, the blood flow of vertebral artery is blocked, which causes the blood circulation of vertigo center in cerebellum, vestibular nucleus and red nucleus to be blocked, resulting in vertigo symptoms.
