Some people experience dizziness related to neck problems, known as cervicogenic dizziness. This dizziness can last for hours and be confused with other conditions, so it's extremely important to see a specialist. In this article, we'll cover everything you need to know about cervical dizziness: what it is, its symptoms, its causes, and the best diagnosis and treatment options.
What is cervicogenic dizziness?
He cervicogenic dizziness, also known as dizziness of cervical origin, It is often confused with vertigo of vestibular origin. It frequently occurs in patients who have suffered a sprain or whiplash.
This type of dizziness is characterized by neck pain accompanied by balance disorders, and is often caused by a dysfunction of the cervical spine.
Main symptoms of cervical dizziness
The symptoms of cervical dizziness are diverse and They can last from minutes to hours.
As the name indicates, affected people experience dizziness, which tends to worsen with certain head movements, accompanied by a sensation of movement of the environment. Therefore, patients with cervicogenic dizziness have a perception of general imbalance.
Additionally, patients often experience headache of cervical origin, which manifests as intense pain in the head, with disorientation and confusing vision. On the other hand, a limitation is observed in the cervical range of motion (ROM).
In more severe cases, patients with cervicogenic dizziness may experience difficulty walking, standing, or performing any activity.
These symptoms are often confused with those of vertigo due to their similarity. Below, we'll identify how to differentiate between these potentially similar conditions.
How do you know if it is vertigo or dizziness?
Although they are often confused, vertigo and dizziness have key differences in their symptoms and causes. To distinguish which of them you are experiencing, it is useful to pay attention to the following aspects:
- Sensation of movement: When you experience the environment rotating or moving, it is likely vertigo.
- Duration and frequency: Vertigo can last from minutes to hours, while dizziness can be persistent and have a variable duration.
- Associated symptoms: Vertigo is often accompanied by nausea and vomiting, while dizziness may be associated with lightheadedness, weakness, or feeling faint.
In both cases, professional help should be sought to obtain a diagnosis and discuss appropriate treatment to control and reduce symptoms.
Causes of cervical dizziness
The causes of cervicogenic dizziness can be diverse. On the one hand, this type of dizziness can arise from a neuromuscular deficit of the deep stabilizing muscles of the neck, that is, the lack of strength of the muscles that form the cervical region.
It is also common to relate cervical dizziness to pathologies such as arthritis, cervical osteoarthritis, and even herniated discs. In addition, certain postural alterations can trigger this type of dizziness.
Other factors may contribute include presence of supranumerary ribs or cervical ribs, which develop at the level of the last cervical vertebra. Another less common cause is due to vascular spasms, caused in many cases by smoking and stress.
Changes in cervical dizziness
Within cervical dizziness, various alterations can be observed.
Joint position error refers to the difference in the angle between the corrected posture and the natural posture of the head. This alteration is common in disorders associated with whiplash.
On the other hand, it has been shown that patients with whiplash and cervicogenic dizziness have balance problems when standing.
Neck pain is also one of the manifestations of these alterations, although its evaluation should always be carried out by a spine specialist.
How to diagnose cervicogenic dizziness?
When diagnosing cervical dizziness, it will be necessary to perform a comprehensive examination of the spine. In addition, a differential diagnosis will be carried out with other pathologies related to vestibular problems and visual problems.
Electronystagmography is the most widely used technique to evaluate patients with vertigo., so that you can observe how the eye movements work.
On the other hand, to detect the presence of dizziness of cervical origin, it is common to perform hearing tests
Additionally, a postural assessment can be performed using posturography, thus detecting possible proprioceptive alterations.
How to sleep with cervical dizziness?
Sleeping with cervical dizziness can be difficult, as many positions, such as rolling over, can cause discomfort. Some tips for sleeping well with this condition include:
- Correct positionSleeping on your back can help keep your head and neck aligned with your spine. You can use a pillow that supports the natural curve of your neck.
- Suitable pillowsOrthopedic or cervical pillows are specifically designed to properly support the neck and head, helping to maintain correct posture throughout the night.
- Stretching before bed: Performing gentle exercises and stretching before bed can help reduce neck tension and relieve dizziness.
- Regular sleep routine: Maintaining a regular routine can significantly improve the quality of your sleep.
- Consult a specialistIf dizziness in the neck interferes with sleep, it is advisable to see a specialist who can offer treatment to relieve the symptoms.
Tips to prevent cervical dizziness
As we mentioned, neck dizziness is usually related to poor posture or repetitive muscle strain in the neck. Therefore, there are certain guidelines you can follow to prevent this type of dizziness from occurring. Some helpful tips to prevent it include:
- Maintain good posture.
- Take breaks throughout the day to stretch your neck and shoulders.
- Sleep with a pillow that keeps your head and neck properly aligned.
- Practice exercise regularly.
- Avoid sudden movements.
Even following these recommendations often cannot prevent cervicogenic dizziness. At the first signs of symptoms, it is important to consult a spinal trauma specialist to prevent the problem from progressing and prevent possible complications.
Treatment for cervicogenic dizziness
The treatment with physiotherapy for cervicogenic dizziness It is one of the best options. Through its treatment, the muscles in the cervical area are released, thus relieving the compression of the vertebral artery. In this way, your symptoms are improved. It is also important to perform postural re-education exercises.
Therefore, stretching exercises will release muscle tension. To eliminate cervical tension and help prevent cervical dizziness, it is also recommended to perform head flexion and rotation exercises, always in a controlled manner.
In any case, It is recommended to dedicate a few minutes a day for relaxation and meditation. Controlled breathing and the application of heat to the cervical spine will help increase blood flow.
Cervical dizziness requires simple treatment, but it's important to consult an experienced orthopedic surgeon for a thorough evaluation of the underlying cause. This ensures a full recovery in the shortest possible time.

Hello, I have too much dizziness, instability, I feel like I can't stand because it's literally like I'm drunk and I'm scared. I already went to the doctor and he sent me Pasedol dimenhydrinate but I'm scared.
Hello Yeini, Cervical dizziness requires constant treatment, the ideal is to search for and attack the cause of the problem, but diet, stretching, exercise, and the pace and stress of life also have a great influence.
Greetings.
Hello, I am in Colombia, and I have had cervical vertigo for 4 days and what I am taking for the vertigo does not help me. In my case it is when I change my position, when I lie down it is horrible and even when I am lying down I cannot change my position because I feel like everything is coming down on me. What I can do? Thank you :'(
Hello Lis, this type of pathology requires a physical examination to be able to tell you exactly what is causing your dizziness.
Go to a spine specialist to find the cause and begin treatment.
Greetings!
Due to an accident years ago and a recent fall, I now have dizziness when I turn to the left.
Hello Gladys,
We hope this information has been useful to you and that you get better soon.
Greetings
Hello, good morning, I have a lot of dizziness and I'm vomiting. I feel like I'm unbalanced. I can't move or bend down, much less.
Hi Claudia,
To ensure that these symptoms come from a cervical blockage, you should go to a consultation to be diagnosed, and from there, begin treatment.
Greetings
Hello, something similar happens to me. Have they solved it for you yet? What have they prescribed for you?
I feel the same until now they can't give me a diagnosis 😢
It would help me if you could find out what I really had
Good afternoon, I have a cervical rectification, when I am walking I feel instability, pain in my head that comes and goes, and my head also has a ringing. They did an x-ray of my cervical spine and yes, I do have a rectification. They prescribed me Betagen and injected Miovit. I have been on the treatment for 5 days. My question please, how long will it take for me to start getting better?
Hello Luis,
Improvement may vary, but relief is usually seen within 1 to 2 weeks of treatment. However, cervical rectification may require physical therapy or specific exercises for lasting relief. Consult your doctor if symptoms persist.
Greetings
The same thing happens to me. I'm admitted to the hospital waiting for an MRI with contrast. I put on a collar. I'm taking pills for vertigo but it doesn't go away. Did they give you a diagnosis? They don't have mine yet
Hello! Did you solve your problem?
Good at last, how did you continue?
Good evening, I have been suffering from dizziness for 4 years and I have had everything done for my vestibular and everything is fine but the pain in my neck and upper back kills me. I went through a mild whiplash, they gave me teiptanol but I improved very little, what can I do to improve, thank you
Hello Luliano,
We would have to evaluate your case in consultation.
You can make an appointment by calling 91 005 39 00.

Hello, is it normal that even when undergoing physiotherapy treatment for cervical rectification, symptoms of vertigo and dizziness may occur?
Hello, Elizabeth,
Could be. The discomfort does not always go away instantly.
Greetings
As I understand you, 2 months ago they treated my otoliths and they told me to get kinesiotherapy for my cervical spine due to pain and dizziness. During the 2nd session, while I was there, I had vertigo for 1/2 hour and I couldn't even stand up. I had to be supported by my husband. I thought it was an attack... how can it be more? They give you massages. I feel like it's worse and today I'm scared. I don't want to do anything but I'm still feeling bad... I'm from Argentina.
Hello Veronica,
It's possible that kinesio tape triggered that episode of vertigo, especially if you have neck problems. If you feel that the therapy is making your symptoms worse, it's crucial to talk to your doctor. You may need to adjust the treatment or explore other options. Don't continue with kinesio tape without consulting first. Your health and well-being are the most important thing.
Greetings
Everything you describe fits my problem very well. I have had vertigo for three weeks now, the otorhinolaryngologist prescribed me pills but it didn't improve until I went to the physiotherapist. From the first session I felt that I improved significantly. Thanks for your information

Good morning
My mother says she feels dizzy and unsteady when she gets out of bed. She lives in a country where access to a doctor, tests, etc. is almost impossible because there are no resources in the country. What can you recommend? I am desperate.
Hello Berlinda,
I am very sorry about the situation. You can try to get him out of bed slowly, first sitting up for a few minutes before standing up. It is essential that you can find medical help in some way as he will need to undergo some tests to be able to give him further instructions.
Greetings
I advise you osteopath, it works for me. For severe dizziness I take biodramine, motion sickness pills for traveling by car, plane, etc. These pills are the only ones that allow me to stand when I get dizzy. The osteopath solves this for me, but when I work with weight, the same nightmare again. Good luck.
Hello, did you get better with a physiotherapist?
Hello, I am from Panama and for 13 years I have suffered from imbalance, worse at night to such a degree that it is difficult for me to walk at night, I have not been able to enter the sea for the same number of years, before knowing that I cannot I could have been in the sea, I went and I was on the verge of drowning, because upon entering I cannot control my body due to the imbalance and I cannot do anything, just walking and seeing the sea produces a total imbalance in me, I have already taken a series of exams I have visited ENT scans and nothing, I need help, it's just an imbalance, it doesn't give me any other sensation, neither dizziness nor vomiting, just my body goes from one side or the other and I completely lose my balance, could you help me?
Hello Abel,
Unfortunately we do not have professionals in Panama. At first glance it seems that it is a case that must be investigated in detail to know what is happening. Spine cases are complex and require a lot of experience and analysis to make the diagnosis.
Many times it is necessary to consult with several professionals to find the cause of the problem.
Greetings
Bonjour je sais pas si vous avez found une solution mais j ai la même chose et en fait en plus de mon arthrose cervicale j au une convergence aux yeux, demandez un bilan orthoptique, plein de courage

Good morning, I have had dizziness for more than 1 year. He says that they could be cervical since I had a more rectification MRI, the nuuroñogo says that if they are from the migraine, they are giving me several treatments but nothing works, they have done a head MRI and it went well and the truth is that I am bitter because if I stand for a long time my feet sometimes go limp…
Good morning Maria,
Thank you for visiting our blog.
In order to offer you a diagnosis, it would be necessary for you to go to our Spine Institute, where we can carry out the necessary medical studies.

Good afternoon, I also get dizzy, the first one was last year I felt like everything was on top of me and I had to see the ENT doctor and nothing then I had to see the neurologist, he had me perform several tests and I have herniated discs in my cervical spine, these are symptoms Horrible, it seems to me that everything in my environment was sinking. I ordered me to do some therapies but due to lack of money I have not been able to do it.
Hello Vanessa,
We regret that you were not able to receive the necessary care.
We recommend that you look at other options since in Spain medical treatments are usually free.

Hello, I am 15 years old, I am quite healthy and for 4 months I have had a lot of vertigo and dizziness, especially after covid. I feel very unstable and I feel like I'm going backwards, my head feels heavy, and I feel nauseous.
I went to the emergency room, and they told me that I have a cervical rectification. I go to kinesiology but I don't see a change, what could it be?
Good morning Sofia,
We regret that we cannot offer you a complete diagnosis without first going to our Advanced Spine Surgery Institute, since it is necessary to study your case in a personalized way to be able to offer you the correct treatment.

How long after Covid did the dizziness start? Why did I suddenly notice dizziness that I had never had before and the tests went well, I just missed an MRI of the spine, but it's not vertigo, what happens is that my neck becomes unbalanced when I'm sitting and if I walk I go from one side to the other and I feel as if I were walking in the nines softly slow and lazy, it is strange that I have never felt
I also had some dizziness for a week when I was finishing with COVID. I was fine for a month and two weeks ago I was dizzy again and I had tests done and everything is fine. They sent me self 16 pills and nothing bad happens
I am 39 years old and since I was 13, things like this have happened to me, I went to a lot of eye doctors, I hate neurologists and spine doctors and I continue with these events. It's unfortunate but you have to eat well, few carbohydrates, exercise and try not to have stress, when I do these things that's when I'm fine.
Hello Nicolás, that's it. Additionally, having an exercise routine and physical therapy treatment will greatly improve your quality of life.
Greetings
Sofia, do you have any contact? Please send me email to fliendro3131@gmail.com because I would like to see what you did please

It is a cervical impingement problem.
Hello! I live and am from Santa Fe, Argentina, and when they did my medical report in 2017 for my work, they ruled that I had osteoarthritis, Parrot's beak, and cervical impingement. And from time to time it gets worse: they told me aquaerobics, pilates, and Breathing and head exercises. With peaks of Stress it got worse. It is Horrible to walk and work like this.
How do you know? And do you know how to get rid of it? I've been like this for months and nothing can get rid of it.
Have you thought about trigeminal neuralgia? I suffer from it and it could be as you describe it, they are terrible. Find out.

I have been suffering from dizziness for 5 months. I have been on Audipax and Miorelajante. But, they dope me a lot. The ear studies came out well. Now I should do an MRI to rule out hernias.

I have a doubt, I have had anxiety for many years, not generalized but constant, the thing is that I started to change my routine, I started to control my anxiety, I changed my diet, I started playing Chess which from what I know helps you de-stress. and I started doing anaerobic exercises, I was fine the first week but the next week I felt as if my body was freed from tension as if my nerves were freed.
The thing is that after the second week I started to get dizzy and I thought it was something specific and after the third week I got up and went to buy something and when I got there I started getting very dizzy and this dizziness lasted for a while. week and then I started to get better, but I noticed that when I moved or put away a lot that after a while it made me dizzy, I don't know if it's that being with anxiety and stress for so many years made my body get used to it and when I started to free myself from the tension something happened.
Thanks in advance for the information.

Hello, I have had sudden dizziness for 7 years since the first time it happened, I thought it was the pressure since with a drink of coke or a sweet it would go away but each time it got worse to the point of stopping working and not going out. I'm afraid that I'll get dizzy. I've already been to several doctors and none of them help me. They've done simple tests on me and since I'm fine, they take me crazy, but I'm desperate. My life changed for the worse and I already feel like I'm going to stay here forever. always. They are not that frequent but when they strike me I lay down for up to a week with vomiting and a headache that is not so intense but moderate.

Hello, since August I have been suffering from dizziness, I have been to the emergency room and they can't find anything. I have dizziness and imbalance, I wobble from the front and back of my feet and my vision is confusing and sometimes I feel disgusted. I don't know what to do.

Good morning, I am from Uruguay and I have been suffering from dizziness for several years, with the passage of time they have increased. I have had a tomography, MRI, ear study, x-rays and nothing all normal. But my life has changed, I am not the same, they are with me all the time. I have tried hundreds of muscle relaxants and nothing. Now ringing sounds were also added at ear level and towards the head.
It really is desperate. It doesn't allow me to concentrate on work, the pushes take me off axis and make me very nervous. I have been taking alplazolan for two years to reduce anxiety but it means covering the sun with one finger. I appreciate recommendations. Greetings
Good morning Leonardo,
Thanks for your comment. We are very sorry for your condition. In order to offer you a diagnosis, it would be necessary for you to visit our trauma center, where the necessary medical tests will be performed.

About 4 years ago I started to get cold and it would mark me a little, and since then I have gone to different specialists, to the cardiologist, to the ENT, to the internist, and they have performed different tests and everything comes out fine and I could do my normal daily routine but for a month now I get some dizziness, sometimes the right side of my head falls asleep and tingling in my head and feet that get cold and sometimes my calves hurt and I feel like cold stabbing pains in my legs and feet, and these last few dizzinesses are so strong that I panic and it gives me an anxiety and depression that is almost unbearable, but these things go away, but now there is almost not a day that I don't get it, what do you recommend?
Hello Miguel,
I'm so sorry you're experiencing these symptoms. The dizziness, tingling, and numbness you mention could be related to cervical problems, such as nerve compression in the neck. These types of conditions can cause the symptoms you describe, so it's crucial that a specialist can make an accurate diagnosis and design an appropriate treatment plan to address both the symptoms and the underlying cause.
It's important that you continue to seek professional help to address your specific situation and prevent symptoms from worsening. In the meantime, try to reduce stress and anxiety, as these can intensify dizziness and other discomforts. It would be helpful to consider psychological support to manage these feelings and improve your quality of life.
We encourage you to continue seeking a more precise diagnosis and treatment that will help you improve. We wish you the best in your recovery and hope you find a solution soon!
Hi Miguel, I wanted to know if you've been diagnosed yet, because I suffer exactly the same as you. Even when I sleep, I get a sensation of electricity in my head, like waves. It's horrible. I was diagnosed with cervical rectification. I even wear a headset for motion sickness and I take Betaine. That only kept me well for two weeks, but the motion sickness hasn't gone away for four days. I hope you're feeling better now, because I understand. Being like this is horribly distressing and frustrating.
Good morning, I'm Rufo
For approximately 2 years I have not been able to sleep on my back, or tilt my head back, because it makes me dizzy and dizzy; (when I am nervous it is much more accentuated); I have been to the physiotherapist many times; This difficulty forces me to postpone medical appointments in which I must be lying face up. I had a cerebrovascular Doppler and the veins are clear. The medications I take are diazepam stada 5 mg and sulpiride 50 mg. This setback is unliveable and I don't know if it has a solution. Thanks and regards.
Good morning Rufus,
Thank you for reading our trauma blog.
First of all, the case must be studied to assess that you do not suffer from neurological diseases such as Chiari, in addition to the cervical spine, as well as possible disc injuries or spinal instability. You can request an appointment with our trauma doctors to obtain a complete diagnosis.
All the best.
Hi, how are you? The same thing happens. There are days when I can't go to bed because of vertigo. Did they find something for you?
Good afternoon, my name is Isabel and I have been a patient with Hypertensive Cardiopathy and Peripheral Vascular Insufficiency since 2005 with treatment. For 2 years I have been experiencing Vertiginous Syndrome. From time to time I present sweating combined with accelerated pulse, tension and nausea without vomiting, but Vertigo. They have become constant and unbearable, especially when I get into bed or get out of bed. I have consulted with doctors and performed cervical x-rays with few successful treatments. I am from Venezuela and I wanted to know if there is a homemade tea to relieve discomfort apart from your recommendations. Thanks greetings
Good morning Isabel,
Thank you for visiting our trauma blog.
Your case does not seem simple, so it would be necessary to review all the studies you have in order to offer you guidance. You can request an appointment with our trauma team if you wish.

Hello!
I have had a problem for a long time now. I am diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and since I was a teenager I have cracked my back and neck a lot. Nowadays I am experiencing a lot of unusual dizziness, I feel like I am disconnected from reality, I feel unbalanced and it is difficult for me to do my daily things, all the time I want to lay my head down or sleep to calm this discomfort. It always hurts in the middle of my head like I have a bruise. I thought it could be something related to my spine and neck because maybe I damaged a nerve in my brain from thundering. I need help but I don't know exactly who to turn to... Could you tell me who I can treat myself to? Or are these symptoms due to anxiety itself?
Good morning Melissa,
Thanks for your comment.
We regret to inform you that we cannot offer you a diagnosis without first carrying out the necessary medical studies. Therefore, you can request an appointment at our trauma center to start treating your pathology.
All the best.
Hello, I also have the same thing, give me your number and we'll talk
Hello good. A few days ago, I painted the ceiling in the room. I spent more than two hours with my neck bent backwards. That night I had no symptoms, but the next morning when I opened my eyes, everything was spinning. Since then I have had episodes of acute vertigo that last only a short time. The discomfort appears when lying down, never standing up, and occasionally when I swim in the pool, a sport that I have practiced for more than 35 years because I have lumbar disc herniations and swimming feels very good to me.
Good morning Ignacio,
Thank you very much for your comment.
You can request an appointment with our trauma team to be able to perform the necessary medical studies and offer you an accurate diagnosis.
All the best.
Hello, I have been looking for information since a few weeks ago I had pain in my neck towards my back and today I had dizziness all day and at night when turning to the left side, it could be due to the cervical spine or another problem, thank you
Hello Natalia,
All symptoms point to cervical pathology, but a good clinical examination as well as radiodiagnostic tests are always necessary for its correct evaluation.
A hug.
Hello dr, I wanted to consult, I feel like I am unstable, when I shake my head whether sitting or standing I feel like I can't focus. I have it constantly, an ENT doctor saw me and I have nothing; I have cervical rectification but the MRI showed nothing. I can't take it anymore, what can I do?
Hello Agustin,
It seems from what you say that it could be pathology of the middle ear, have you managed to consult with a doctor in Other Nose and Throat?
All the best.
For what it's worth, I'll tell you my experience: I'm on my way for five years with this... I started to improve when I finally went to an osteopath - a posturologist (not just any physio will do) - but not before having gone through countless specialists without head or tail... And after the fact I am going to a chiropractic to have my spine aligned…
It is important to correct posture and keep stress at bay. But above all, knowing how to manage EMOTIONS... because they accumulate there in the neck... In my case, anger and resentment... If you add to that many hours of work and/or study with your neck down, in front of the computer, and genetic predisposition... it is a ticking time bomb. There I am learning tools to manage those emotions. I read a lot about it, I do meditation, I put ice on the area, do some yoga, and I try to walk 30 to 45 minutes every day. Walking also helps heal the soul. No running because the cervical spine is affected.
Thank you very much Macu for your testimony. All the best.
Hello, my name is Maria Amparo, I have had cervical dizziness for just over two years, I recently had surgery, 12 days ago, I had a disc replacement, C5-C6, the dizziness is minimal but why do I still have it? I have realized that I feel pain and is it when I feel dizzy and lose my balance? Will it never be removed? The Dr. who operated on me doesn't know!
Hello Mariamparo, it's a shame that you are in that situation. Please go to a reference doctor as soon as possible to evaluate your case in detail. For our part, you already know that we are available and you can make an appointment at the clinic whenever you want. All the best.
About 13 years ago I had a cervical arthrodesis, and for about 6 years, I have been suffering from episodes of dizziness, loss of balance, dullness, instability, heaviness, exhaustion, etc. I cannot lead a normal life, in fact, during periods of crisis, I limit my outings for fear of being left stranded on the street.
The otolaryngologists that is cervical.
Traumatologists that it is ear.
I have also suffered for about 4 years from uninterrupted tinnitus, mainly in the left ear and a great hearing loss in that ear.
Is there a solution and recover a normal quality of life?

Hello, good morning, I'm from Argentina and 1 week ago I started experiencing dizziness out of nowhere and pain in my neck on the left side. They told me it's vertigo, but it could be bad posture because it never happened to me and I woke up feeling dizzy. It doesn't last long, but it doesn't last long. Every time I move my head the left side of my head grabs me. What could it be?
Hi Carlos,
It could be cervical dizziness, although only a specialist who sees you in person will be able to give you an accurate diagnosis.

Hello, one day I got dizzy while sitting and since then I have had dizziness, imbalance, a heavy head and I feel like it weighs me down and hurts at times, lights and sounds have also bothered me. I feel like I'm falling when I walk. I went to the ENT doctor and he told me it could be migraines, but I went to the neurologist and they did an MRI on my brain and an x-ray on my cervical spine and everything came out fine. He told me it could be a contracture in my cervical spine and he sent me for cervical physiotherapy. . My fear is that this dizziness will not completely go away after physical therapy. I also suffer from scoliosis. I don't know which other specialists to go to. I have taken all types of medication sulpiride dizinel and sibelium and various anxiolytics and nothing. The neurologist gave me things for the contracture such as muscle relaxants and anti-inflammatories but I don't know how the dizziness is going at all. I don't know what other specialists I can go to. If anyone else is in my situation, please contact me. It's a horror to live like this, thank you.
The same thing happens to me and I'm desperate. I no longer know if it is vestibular, neurological or cervical. I'm afraid it will become chronic. You've recovered??
Hello, the same thing happens to me as you, I've been like this for about 12 years, and every time it comes it lasts about two months and the sibelium or the dizinel that I took do nothing for me apart from seeing a thousand specialists send me You try and see nothing.
It's all very strange that you can't diagnose what it is, I'm desperate and I have to take sick leave from work every now and then, I'm 38 years old...

Friend, get yourself seen, you may have syringomelia
Hello, I started with constant dizziness and instability 15 days after having Covid in June 2022. I have been through 4 ENT specialists, a specialized center for vertigo and dizziness, a Neurologist, a Cardiologist, I had a cranial magnetic resonance imaging, various studies of the ears and everything goes well. They sent me to a psychiatrist and he didn't find anything relevant either.
I went to the chiropractor because of severe back pain and I asked him if he could check my cervical spine and when he did so he found a cervical rectification, that is, my spine is very straight and that is apparently causing the dizziness.
I am being treated by a chiuropractor and I had a notable improvement, but then the dizziness and vertigo return again.
Everything points to a cervical problem since everything else goes well
Wow, I read many comments where they suffer from the same symptoms as mine... I can't turn around suddenly, it gives me imbalance, I can't lie on my back, I sleep with 3 or more pillows, it's exasperating, days, weeks, months, so I did all the possible studies and everything turns out fine if I have a rectification. chronic cervical vertigo, I can't stand without holding myself up or walk alone, bathe, etc. It's horrible, I did kinesio physio but I see that nothing has the definitive solution, I take betahistine, even so, everything revolves around sometimes... the heat, the cold, the smoke, everything affects stress. Many people sleep little during the confinement...fear is present whenever they tell us not to be afraid when the body cannot support it, it is difficult but not impossible, I only wish that all of us who went through this can get ahead 🙌🏽
Hello, I had a fall from a bicycle and after a few days I had a lot of instability and vertigo, vision problems, tinnitus and hypertension, they did blood tests and they all came out fine but I have a lump in my neck where you can feel a very marked artery. .

I am 38 years old and I would like to know if cervical spine pain causes muscle spasms, muscle weakness, pain or general punctures throughout the body.
My pain is in the back and top of my head a little below the hairline and sometimes it seems as if I had been hit by a bottle on the head and when I turn my head to the side or go up and down suddenly I feel I feel half dazed with loss of balance.
other times when I lower my head I get drowsy or my eyes turn red
My neck doesn't hurt but it gets hot sometimes and this only happens when I'm standing because if I'm lying down all day it doesn't hurt at all.
The pain in my head appears mainly if I'm stressed in front of the computer, but sometimes even that doesn't bother me.
other times when I have my head in certain positions I also feel strange things like I'm disconnected for 1 second and that already makes me think that it is because of the neck that traps a vein but the symptoms are so many that I don't know what to think because I have had several tests and they say it's psychological.
I am in a hole with no way out and I am afraid that I have had to be one of those who go to 50 doctors until one arrives who knows and tells you what you have.

Hello. I quickly comment on my situation.
I have had GAD problems for a few years now, and on three occasions (in 2016, 2018-2019 and now 2024) it has happened to me that it gives me that feeling of vertigo. Since around March 2024, I had already been experiencing very high stress and panic attacks for no apparent reason. I spent almost all my time lying in bed with my laptop working, poor posture and a lot of stress. I started to feel strange things in my neck and shoulder, on the side of my ear (on my jaw almost at the entrance to my ear), and then in my head. Sometimes I would get a headache in the neck area. As the last few months passed, I began to feel a feeling of depersonalization or like being in a dream or lethargy. Just on June 14, 2024 in the morning, I was woken up by the feeling of vertigo (which only lasted a second or two). I was like this for two days half bad, but I could levitate myself from bed, walk and do my things (halfway), if I bent down, raised my head or lay down I got dizzy; not much but like an imbalance. I was doing massages and hot-cold compresses with ice, and head and neck movement exercises; And I think that helped me a lot. Little by little the dizziness began to subside but not that "drunk" feeling. Another thing to note is that I did anger with a client just about 8-10 days before the vertigo crisis.
Although as of today (July 10, 2024), it has not gone away 100%, I can say that I feel 80-90% better. These days I have noticed that the muscle behind my neck on the left side feels hard, a kind of pull or something that causes me a "tingle" and sometimes I feel it reflected up to the left eye (inside) and in the left buttock as well. It is at this moment when I get that feeling of imbalance (not dizziness as such or vertigo), but unstable, and when I massage myself and half release that "sensation" from my neck the entire symptom disappears. When I stretch my neck, massage or put a lot of pressure on that muscle, I can feel something contracted or tense there, with a desire that it should "thunder" to release the tension. Could it be something from the cervical tension, the muscle or something similar? Greetings from Mexico and thanks for reading.

Hello, I'm from Colombia and 5 years ago I was diagnosed with neurocardiogenic syncope, since then I have many health problems and after a while I feel bad all the time because I have vertigo, my head hurts so much sometimes I can barely walk because I feel no strength in my legs and if I stand up it's like I have no balance, I get nauseous and want to vomit, that discomfort sometimes doesn't let me sleep because if I move my head even a little bit the sensation is horrible, and I have a lot of back pain especially on the top of my neck, it lasts for many days and no matter how many medications I take it doesn't go away, I would like some help please to know what it could be that I have and what specialist I should go to that could help me. I also have lumbar and cervical scoliosis, but the doctors tell me that it is mild and not important, and all they tell me is that everything that happens to me is because I suffer from syncope, but I am not so sure about that because I hardly ever get syncope and I still have the rest of the ailments all the time.

It's important to see a neurologist and an ear, nose, and throat specialist (otolaryngologist) to rule out neurological or balance problems (such as vertigo). It would also be helpful to check your spine for possible problems due to scoliosis.

Bonjour,
The vertiges may refer to various causes, and to understand the cervical arthrosis, but it is important to perform a detailed evaluation to determine the exact origin of your symptoms. We recommend consulting an oto-rhino-laryngologist or a specialist in the vertebral colon to evaluate your case.
In certain cases, an IRM is useful for identifying problems in the cervical colon, but it is the specialist who determines whether this examination is necessary.
If you are satisfied, you can obtain rendezvous with our equipment for a complete evaluation.

Hello Yuly Viviana,
We are very sorry to hear about the symptoms you are experiencing. It is possible that what you describe is a secondary reaction to the cervical block.

Bonjour, soufrante de vertiges depuis 2018 et bien plus souvent jusqu'à maintenant, irréguliers, legers et supers violents, surtout en position allongée et se calme en se redressant verticalement, il m'est deja arrivé une crise violente a ne plus pouvoir marcher… vu par l'orl du center ospitalier de l'ariege. Qui m'a soutenu de faire les exercices et pouvements pour traiter le problème. Je suis revenu la voir en 2020 le Resultat toujours le meme, elle m'a passé un scanner pour voir si je n'avais pas de tumeurs c'est tout et passer l'appareil d'eau dans l'oreille avec le masque et le siege pour calculer le problème qui viendrait de gauche. Puis mis un traitement donc betahistine et tangacnil… pendant 3mois inefficace aussi… donc je me tape des crisis de tourni quasi toutes les nuits surtout vers le reveal… qui passent en plusieurs heures. J'ai des pincement problems c4-c5-c6 sur radio elle a dit ca n'a aucun rapport… donc on continue le kiné. Et on est en 2025 le problème est toujours le même en passant un irm des cervicales il n'y aucun soucis… je ne comprends plus rien
I need to specify well that I have written regimens, sommeil ok, pas de signes avants courreurs ni prevention du problème, parfois je pas de rares nuits calmes. Et je connais juste ce problème de dos de perte de lordose avec debut inversion de courbure et les pincements moderes, l'irm n'a rien indiqué tout est ok… je suis également porteuse syndrome de l'iris plateau et ait trop de tension dans les yeux mais c'est normal je suis also migraineuse mais pas de Signes declancheurs non plus… to see with a neurologist peutetre?
Bonjour,
Nous sommes vraiment désolés d'apprendre tout ce que vous avez traversé avec les vertiges et les symptômes associés. Certain symptoms that you experience, such as recurring vertiges and ocular tension, are also linked to neurological problems. L'évaluation par un neurologue pourrait être usefule pour confirmer ou écarter si les vertiges ont une cause neurologique.
Concerning spinal colon problems, although MRI does not reveal serious changes, it is possible that cervical problems influence vertiges. An integrated approche, combining a spécialisée physiothérapie and the specific treatments for vertiges, pourrait être bénéfique.

Hello, I'm Veronica, I'm from Mexico and I started on Saturday 02/22/25 in the morning in the bathroom I got a strong dizziness and it went away, already at night when I was lying on my back I had another equally strong one that I sat up and I started with very strong vertigo and I lay down, I suffer from fibromyalgia and I'm taking amitriptyline but the day before I didn't take it because I fell asleep and that day of the dizziness I didn't take it either for the same reason (I don't know what this is due to if it's from the ear, cervical, or from the anxiolytic), anyway I continued with those dizziness and vertigo, I went to the doctor and he only prescribed diphenidol for 2 days and some exercises, right now I'm still there but I feel stiffness in my neck, I move my head from one side to the other and the dizziness is there, I feel unbalanced, stunned and last night I felt in my ears as if they were going to pop, and when I'm lying on my back I get very dizzy and that's when I feel dizzy and vertigo but never with vomiting. Could you tell me what I can do?
Hello Veronica,
We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing these symptoms. Dizziness and vertigo can have a number of causes, from cervical problems to inner ear disorders or even medication-related effects. Since the symptoms persist and affect your balance, it is best to continue to contact a specialist for a more detailed evaluation. In the meantime, it may be helpful to avoid sudden head movements and follow medical recommendations regarding recommended exercises.

Hello, good afternoon! I have been having dizziness for 3 months. They gave me medication for vertigo but it didn't go away. They did an MRI and they told me that I have rectification of cervical lordosis, dehydration of the intervertebral discs C3C4/C5/C6. I am going to an osteopath. It has improved but I still have dizziness and stomach pain. What can I take? Thank you, regards.

Good afternoon, I'd like to know if my problem has a solution. I'm still waiting for treatment, as usual, due to waiting lists. I've been experiencing dizziness since October, and I had to quit my job because of it. I barely go out anymore due to the added fear. If you need me to simply pay for the consultation to find out if there's a solution for what I'm experiencing, so I can lead a normal life and have the dizziness go away, I'd love to hear from you. Thank you very much.
Findings:
Restification of cervical lordosis.
Vertebral bodies of preserved height.
Signs of disc dehydration.
At c4-c5 a diffuse posterior disco-osteophytic protrusion is seen, more prominent at the right central and paracentral level where it flattens the right anterior contour of the spinal cord.
At C5-C6 a disc protrusion is seen that partially obliterates the anterior subarachnoid space and extends to both foramina, causing biforaminal stenosis, greater on the right side.
Normal marrow thickness and signal intensity.
Well-positioned cerebellar tonsils.
In summary, MRI of the cervical spine with lordosis restification and prominent C4-C5 and C5-C6 disc protrusions.
Hello Estefania,
The findings on your MRI may be related to your dizziness, especially if there is nerve compression or vascular involvement in the cervical area.
To determine the most appropriate treatment, a detailed evaluation by a specialist is essential. Depending on the severity of the compression and your symptoms, options may include specialized physical therapy or other medical treatments.
If you would like to schedule an appointment with one of our specialists to evaluate your case, you can do so by calling 91 005 39 00.

After a while there are the douleurs at the back with the cracks of light.
The pain is equally intense between the cervical vertebrae and the spine.

Hello doctor, I have suffered from neck pain for many years when I am experiencing high stress and even when I am about to get my period.
Which lead to a migraine-type headache.
A week ago I started with symptoms of what seemed like a gastrointestinal virus, but as the days went by, I started to feel a kind of dizziness and vertigo that worsens when I move my head slightly. I notice my eyes are bothering me too.
Hello Elena,
We're very sorry you're experiencing these symptoms. Neck pain and dizziness may be related, as muscle tension in the neck can affect balance and cause headaches, such as migraines.
Given the complexity of your symptoms, it is important that you consult a specialist for a thorough evaluation and to rule out any other possible causes. The appropriate treatment will depend on the precise diagnosis, and additional testing may be necessary. If you wish, you can request an appointment with our team for an evaluation by calling 91 005 39 00.

Bonjour, je tombe sur votre article aujourd'hui eh je me sent soulager car je souffre de ces symptômes depuis le mois de janvier à la suite d'un choc avec ma voiture.. j'ai vu des kinés, un ostheo et mon médecin m'a prescrit plusieurs exams et traitement mais rien n'y fait.. ma question est la suivante
J'ai eu une radius des cervicales, et deux IRM une du rachis cervicales et une cérébrale mais rien ne ressort mise à part une rectitude du rachis cervicales.. est ce possible que ce soucis ne soit pas forcément décelable avec une MRI cervicales? Car je me peu gener de demander d'other examinations alors qu'on ne trouve rien.. je vous remercie pour votre réponse
Good day
Bonjour,
Merci beaucoup pour votre message et pour avoir partagé votre expérience.
Concerning your question, it is possible that certain conditions affect the cervical colon and are not visible on IRM or on radiographs, especially on functional problems or on articular movements that are not visible on images.
Our recommendations are to continue to consult a spécialiste de la colonne vertebrae, car d'autres approches diagnostiques peuvent être nécessaires, comme une évaluation clinique plus détaillée ou des tests fonctionnels. Furthermore, if vertiges persist, it is useful to exclude other possible causes that are not directly linked to the cervical colon.
Si vous le souhaitez, dans notre centre, nous avons des professionnels qui pourraient vous aider à évaluer votre cas de manière plus personnalisée.
Nous vous adressons nos salutations les most cordiales et tout notre soutien.
I've been here for a month, just like everyone else.
Vertigo dizziness
Luckily no headache
But with a lot of anxiety
The truth is that instead of getting better, it seems like I'm worse.
If someone is suffering from the same thing, we can create a WhatsApp group.
It would be great to put together a group.

Hi, I'm from Mexico, and I'm literally desperate, to the point of not wanting to know anything anymore because these problems are killing me. I have spasms in my head and eyes; when I move my head from side to side, I also look elsewhere. If I move my eyes from side to side, it doesn't hurt, but I get dizzy, I feel vertigo, and it's horrible. I've had neck and shoulder pain for two years.
Years but I haven't experienced this, I don't know what to do anymore, I don't know who to turn to...
Hello Pamela,
We're so sorry for everything you're going through. The spasms, vertigo, and neck tension you describe can have multiple causes, so it's essential that a specialist thoroughly evaluate your case to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.
In many cases, these symptoms are related to cervical, muscular, or vestibular system disorders, and with appropriate treatment, quality of life can be significantly improved.
If possible, we recommend seeing a spine specialist or neurologist who can assess your condition and provide guidance. It can also be very helpful to supplement with a physical therapy plan tailored to your needs.
We hope you find relief and a solution soon.
Greetings.
Hello, I've been having constant dizziness for almost a month. It only stops when I sleep or lie down, and I have pain and cramps in my neck, shoulders, and back. I went to the doctor and they told me the dizziness was due to a wax plug and they removed it, but since the dizziness and headaches continued, I started going to the physiotherapist and have had three massage sessions, but the dizziness hasn't gone away. I get dizzy especially when I move my neck to any side. Please, I'm desperate. I need to know how to make the dizziness stop so I can resume my normal life. Thank you.
Hello Elvira,
We're sorry you're experiencing these symptoms. Dizziness can be due to a variety of causes and, in some cases, can be related to cervical problems. If you haven't already, we recommend seeing a spinal orthopedic surgeon to evaluate whether your condition may be related to this area.
Physical therapy is often beneficial as it can help reduce muscle tension and improve mobility, but it's important for your physical therapist to work with your specialist to tailor your therapy.

Hello. Since I was 8 years old I used to get dizzy spells and I would lie down and it would go away and I could continue with my life normally. But now I am 21 years old and during my second pregnancy one day while cleaning the floor at home pouring water I stood up suddenly and I got a really bad dizzy spell and I got really scared and that's how I stayed. Today my baby is 3 months old and the dizziness hasn't gone away. I'm lying down and it's like my body is just moving. I don't know what to do.
Hello Julia,
We're very sorry you're experiencing dizziness. Dizziness can be due to multiple reasons, such as neck or ear problems, or other causes. Therefore, it's important to have your case evaluated by a specialist to identify the cause and recommend the most appropriate treatment.
Greetings.
Good morning. I would like you to please help me. What happens is that I have an intense pain in the back of my head, especially on the left side. My left ear is blocked. The left side hurts and I start to get dizzy. When the noise in my ear increases, as if it were wind, the dizziness starts to get more intense and I end up vomiting. However, this increase in noise in my ear appears when I get nervous or complain and it increases in a matter of 15 to 20 minutes at most until I get intense dizziness and I start to vomit. What do you advise me to do because I have already done all the blood tests and ultrasounds and I have absolutely nothing. The doctor tells me that everything is normal. But with your experience, maybe you can tell me if any patient has presented with the same symptoms and what treatment I can do or where I can go to you or what type of analysis or study I should do. Please, I would ask you to help me.
Hello Carla,
We are deeply sorry for the symptoms you are experiencing. Dizziness accompanied by headache, ringing in the ears, and vomiting can have different causes, so it is essential that a specialist assess your case in detail.
Even if blood tests and ultrasounds have normal results, there are other, more specific tests that can help identify the cause. It's best to schedule an appointment with a specialist, who can prescribe the necessary tests to arrive at a proper diagnosis.
In the meantime, try to avoid situations that trigger symptoms and don't hesitate to go to the emergency room if dizziness or vomiting worsens.
Greetings.
