Hello,
Main reasons for vertigo are ear infection but and poor neck posture, neck disorders, or trauma to the cervical spine can cause vertigo, dizziness.
Cervical vertigo often results from a head injury that disrupts head and neck alignment, or whiplash.
This dizziness most often occurs after moving your neck, and can also affect your sense of balance and concentration.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
