Cervicogenic Dizziness: Could my Neck be behind my Dizziness?
Dizziness is a common symptom with a variety of underlying causes, including the neck. Often we look towards vestibular and central issues for dizziness, but what happens when everything is clear and we are still dizzy? This often results in people seeing multiple healthcare professionals, specialists, and taking many trips to the Emergency Department, never getting answers. Could cervicogenic dizziness be the key?
Cervicogenic dizziness is a type of dizziness that originates from a problem in the cervical spine (neck) and is often overlooked. It's believed to be caused by abnormalities or disturbances in the neck joints, muscles, or nerves, which then affect the sensory input (proprioception) to the brain responsible for balance and spatial orientation. In this article, we will explore the causes of cervicogenic dizziness and discuss treatment options, including two home exercises you can begin with today!
