Cervicogenic dizziness is a difficult and sometimes controversial diagnosis. There is no single test to confirm the cause of dizziness experienced by people also suffering from neck pain. In many instances dizziness decreases as the neck pain decreases.
During a recent Facebook Live presentation, Drs. Kathleen Stross, DPT, CHC, PhD and Nicole Acerra, PT, PhD held a discussion on cervicogenic dizziness, how it is diagnosed and treated, and who you should consult for help.
