As crucial components of human life activities, body, Qi, and spirit interact with each other, driving various vital processes. The onset and progression of cervical vertigo are accompanied by changes in body, Qi, and spirit. The "body" aspect is reflected in the pathological state of cervical spine muscle and bone imbalance; the "Qi" aspect manifests as dysfunction of Qi circulation and malnutrition of the brain; the "spirit" aspect is reflected in liver stagnation, muscle tension, and blocked brain connections. The pathological change in the body serves as the pathological foundation for the onset of cervical vertigo, the dysregulation of Qi is the root cause of the disease, and the disturbance of the spirit acts as a pathogenic factor. Therefore, in the treatment of cervical vertigo, it is necessary to emphasize the "unity of body, Qi, and spirit", prioritizing the manipulation of complex shape and the balance of muscles and bones, regulating Qi as the root cause, dredging yang Qi as the method, unblocking the governor vessel and soothing the liver, regulating the mind and stopping vertigo as the key, and utilizing traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, massage, psychological counseling, and other comprehensive means of treatment, in order to provide new insights for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of cervical vertigo.
