Cervicogenic dizziness is not a primary diagnosis but a condition that arises from musculoskeletal issues in the cervical spine. It is often considered when patients report dizziness or balance problems in conjunction with neck pain or after an incident that involves the neck, such as a whiplash injury.
Techniques such as cervical spine mobilization or manipulation to improve range of motion, decrease pain, and restore normal joint mechanics.
Specific exercises to improve neck strength, flexibility, and proprioception. These exercises can help stabilize the neck and improve the function of the proprioceptors, which are key in maintaining balance and spatial orientation.
If there are also vestibular components contributing to the dizziness, vestibular rehabilitation exercises may be incorporated to help retrain the brain’s ability to process balance information.
Education and exercises to improve posture, especially if poor postural habits are contributing to neck strain and dizziness.
Providing information on the nature of cervicogenic dizziness, how to manage symptoms, and strategies to prevent future episodes.
