Cervical Spondylosis Vertigo
Dear Doctors
I have been a victim of servical pain from 4 to 5 years owing to the nature of profession I am into which requires 8 to 9 hrs of working on laptop
Couple of weeks back, I had started having vertigos as and when I do neck movements specifically during lie down position
Vertigos have stopped post medication and it's been a month. However I still feel neck pain in the upper neck area and feel dizziness during neck movement and specially when lying down. I have started during isometric exercises
Pls suggest the way around. What should I do for faster relief
Regards
Manish Sehgal

Good evening.
After going through ur complaints stated above.i see that u have vertigo associated with weak neck muscles and may be associated early cervical spondylitis which can be confirmed by xray.
Nature of ur work suggests that u will have repeated episodes of neck muscle fatigue which in turn leads to neck instability and vertigo results.
Best solution lies in training strengthening of your neck shoulder and upper back muscles.stretching of tight scapular muscles.
It is also advised that u should be doing eye coordination exercises along with neck exercise.
U can use soft cervical collar during work and travel for relief.
Please do consult senior physiotherapy specialist to have thorough evaluation of ur problem.
Finally.based on ur age i can see that u will recover completely from ur problem.
