Cervical Dizziness
Learn about symptoms, modern diagnostic methods, and advanced treatment protocols available in China's top medical centers.
Understanding Cervical Dizziness
Cervical dizziness, also known as cervicogenic dizziness, is a condition where neck problems cause sensations of unsteadiness or disorientation. It often occurs after neck injuries or in association with cervical spine disorders. In our partner clinics in Beijing and Shanghai, we use a multidisciplinary approach involving neurologists, orthopedic surgeons, and physical therapists to address both neck and balance issues.
Advanced Diagnostics in China
Accurate diagnosis is the first step toward effective treatment. Our hospitals offer:
- Videonystagmography: Assessing eye movements and balance.
- Cervical Spine Imaging: X-rays, CT, or MRI of the neck.
- Posturography: Evaluating balance control.
- Physical Examination: Assessing neck mobility and reflexes.
Treatment Options
Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may involve physical therapy, neck stabilization, medications, or an integrative approach combining Western medicine with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to improve neck function and reduce dizziness.
- Physical Therapy: Neck strengthening and stabilization exercises.
- Manual Therapy: Chiropractic or osteopathic manipulation.
- Medications: Anti-vertigo and muscle relaxant medications.
- Integrative TCM: Acupuncture and herbs for neck and balance issues.
