15 Nov And up to 74% of whiplash injury patients experience dizziness

There are several potential causes for dizziness in patients with neck pain including:
– Cervical vertigo
– Vertebral artery insufficiency
– Minor brain injury in cases of whiplash
– Vestibular disorders
– Side effects of medication

If you have seen the Optometrist, Ear Nose and Throat specialist about your dizziness and had extensive investigation and be told that your vision and hearing or inner ear is not contributing to your dizziness. Maybe it is time to actually see an Expert Physiotherapist for your dizziness and neck pain. Here at My Favourite Physio our Expert Physiotherapists have undertaken extensive training to assess and treat Cervical Vertigo.

Cervical vertigo is a condition whereby you experience dizziness, light headedness and visual impairments such as blurry vision due to your neck joints. People often think of the ears, brain, eyes and sinus when investigating for causes of dizziness. Unfortunately most of the time the neck joints are excluded in testing for causes of dizziness. However, studies and evidence is now showing that the neck joints can have a relationship with dizziness. Here at My Favourite Physio we have been getting great results for patients who have presented with issues of dizziness, lack of clarity and visual disturbance along with neck pain and stiffness by treating their neck joints.

So if you are experiencing dizziness, light headedness, blurry vision and neck pain, why not reach out to speak to one of our Expert Physiotherapists today.
