For 18 months, I have been suffering from this dizziness and vertigo. I visited many doctors in my country. The doctors made me feel more depressed and frustrated...but thank God I searched a lot on the internet until I was able to access this wonderful channel and I started downloading the videos and translating the English words that the doctor spoke into my Arabic language, and this took me a lot of effort, then I started applying the exercises in full in the beginning. The exercises made me feel frustrated because I did not feel better...but during the fourth month of exercising I began to notice an improvement of 60-70%...while in the first and second months I did not feel any improvement, and in the third month the pain, dizziness and vertigo began to disappear and then return during A short time, but now, thank God, I am in good health. Thank you, excellent doctor

@@drjonsaunders Yes, you are correct, wonderful doctor, as you said in one of your videos that this type of vertigo and dizziness that accompanies neck pain is the worst type, as it requires exercise for up to 6 months. Also, those suffering from this type are overcome by frustration and depression to the point of thinking about suicide... and this is the thing that I used to feel... but because you spoke in one of your videos that exercise requires patience and continuity for a period that may reach 6 months, this is the motivation that gave me the motivation to continue and Carry on.. The truth is, you deserve all the words of thanks and appreciation, and they are few for you, angel in the form of a doctor

That’s great to hear people need these stories to stay motivated thanks for sharing

I first discovered I had CD by searching the internet, when I asked a neurologist if my Occipital Neuralgia could be coming from my Cervical Stenosis, he replied absolutely! Then I asked if my Cervicogenic dizziness could be related, he said “ I don’t know anything about that” and left the room. But my relentless search lead me to you, now I know the type of Dr. I need to search for! No other Chiropratic has been able to relate. How do I go about coming to you for as many sessions as necessary? And please keep these videos coming. No one here in Cincinnati has any idea what I’m going through.

If you cannot find a chiropractor who has experience in your area - then you may try and find a physio that has experience with CGD as well...it is hard to predict the length of treatment or sessions, as that is dependent on what is found in the examination. Take care and thanks for commenting! :)

How often is cervicogenic dizziness more or less an all day, every day thing? I got it post-whiplash, and find I also have difficulty keeping my head up all day (neck feels fatigued by mid day), and have all sorts of tension in the SCMs, Levator Scapulaes and Upper Traps. Thanks for the video.

If we can have an updated video and exercises with reps and progression, it will be a life saver

So relieved to find your professional information. I am feeling more hopeful again . Recent increase in pressure and pain in my neck and mid back could be what's causing the onset of dizziness, shortness of breath and what feels like lack of oxygen to the brain. Two weeks ago it started with a 'one night only' of 5 separate episodes of vertigo in 5 hours, never before experienced. Stage II at my neck and onset curvature of the spine at mid back. Will try rolled towel exercise and see if there's some relief. I'm early 60. Time takes it's toll. One day at a time 🤗

Hello.I am a 70 year old woman who has had what I believe is neck related dizziness for fifteen years.This was caused by a RSI and I live with the unpleasant sensation every day. Is it too late for me to see any improvement in this condition. I have this condition when ever I am moving ,walking etc.

hi. I noted that when you went to lay your skull across the towel as you tucked you also extended your rib cage. I do this but then I correct myself bc it causes me to hunch my shoulders where the chiro is training to lower my shoulders. I suffer from the wavy feeling 24/7 since this past Feb and before that it would be here and there. It caused me to fall and break my leg last Feb. Have been (mis)diagnosed with Meniere's, bppv, and nothing to do for it. I did go to a balance specialist who conducted some tests and declared its not bppv but I think it has to related as I cant turn my head without my brain swimming and my eyes shift but now always.. also have lost hearing 2months ago in my right ear wth a feeling of pressure and the ear will not pop to relieve pressure. THANKS JON!

What if you have neck pain and acute vertigo that responds to physical therapy? I went to the ER with acute vertigo (felt like the world was spinning) and they sent me home without a diagnosis. After I did some of your neck exercises for cervicogenic dizziness (another video of yours) the vertigo symptoms were essentially gone.

Any luck with cervical neck traction?

Laminectomies have been shown To relieve the pressure on the nerves of patients with spinal stenosis or narrowing of the cervical or lumbar spine. That relieves the tingling,numbness and dizziness that some people are experiencing.

@@drjonsaunders the key is to stop the nerves from being pinched and free up everything to ensure blood flow and neurological signals get back and forth which will hopefully allow patients to not be dizzy and have better overall function. There’s also PRP that can be utilized which is less invasive.

I have narrowing between vertebrae in neck, can't remember the term. Does that lead to this? Had it for years, gets worse as I age (58) Is there really a way to make it better? I am tired of the constant crackling and lightheadedness. Note: been treating chiropractically for years

It is called spinal stenosis - and yes it can sometimes cause this type of dizziness.

can this also goes togheter with constant eye lid twitching / tingling twichtes around the mouth? I have this now constantly for 6 months, non stop. And maybe with blurryness (that i have sometimes since 16+ years). Note: my neck always cracks when I turn it and is always tensed. I have lower backpains ever since, that show up multiple times a year and experts cant find the root cause of that. Im strugling, docters dont cooperate here in the netherlans, they are all on their own island. Next month I have a MRI of the brain. I would like to have some guidance, as I feel lost after many years of always having pain and disturbances. Looking forward to your reaction ! Freddie

Is cervical vertigo/dizziness related to the crystals in ears getting dislodge? Does epley maneuver help to reset crystals and relief vertigo although it’s related to the cervix/neck? It’s confusing.

@drjonsaunders

No, cervicogenic dizziness comes from the neck, where as the crystal in the inner ear are a separate condition called BPPV.

I'm chemo for life, stable disease, with an infusion every two weeks. For the first couple of days I feel yucky and it helps a lot if I place a heating pad at the back of my neck and shoulders. The malaise is centered in my neck and nothing to do with my stomach. Would exercise help?

I have a diagnosis, I have vertigo when turning my head for about 4 weeks, sometimes one day is better than another, depending on how I sleep, at first I thought I had bppv, I did about 40 maneuvers on both ears, eplay, bbq and others, but it didn't help to. Then I tried to grab my head with my hands and turn it so that the neck muscles were turned off and I didn't feel the cramp, I knew it was coming from my neck, I also have neck pain and spend many hours in front of the computer, I'm also overweight, so my back must lift a heavy stomach, but I'm on a diet. I lost 7 kg, I exercise 1 hour/day on a fitness bike my vertigo is 100% a problem with my neck. I will do your exercises twice a day, I hope that relief will come soon, I hope you win at least 10 million in the lottery :-)
