Neck-Related Dizziness (Cervical Vertigo)

A Simple Guide from Egyptian Spine Clinic

Many people think dizziness always comes from the ear. Sometimes, it actually comes from the neck.

When there is narrowing in the neck spine — called cervical spinal stenosis — it can cause dizziness. This is known as cervical vertigo.

⸻

What Is Cervical Spinal Stenosis?

As we age, the joints and discs in the neck can wear out. This can cause:
• Bone spurs
• Disc bulging
• Arthritis
• Narrowing around the spinal cord

This narrowing is called spinal stenosis.

⸻

How Can the Neck Cause Dizziness?

Your neck has small sensors that tell your brain where your head is.

If the neck is stiff, inflamed, or compressed, the brain may receive confusing signals. This can make you feel:
• Dizzy
• Off balance
• Lightheaded
• Unsteady

Some people also have:
• Neck pain
• Headaches at the back of the head
• Stiffness

Dizziness often gets worse when:
• Turning the head
• Looking up
• Sitting in one position for a long time

⸻

Is It an Ear Problem?

The most common ear cause of vertigo is Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).

The difference:
• Ear vertigo usually causes short spinning attacks.
• Neck vertigo usually comes with neck pain and stiffness.
• Neck treatment improves neck vertigo.

Sometimes both problems can happen together.

⸻

How Do We Diagnose It?

At Egyptian Spine Clinic, we:
• Ask about your symptoms
• Examine your neck
• Check your nerves
• Order MRI if needed

We first make sure the dizziness is not coming from the ear or another serious cause.

⸻

How Is It Treated?

Most patients improve without surgery.

Treatment may include:
• Physical therapy for the neck
• Posture correction
• Anti-inflammatory medication
• Gentle exercises

Surgery is only needed if there is strong pressure on the spinal cord causing weakness, numbness, or walking problems.

⸻

If you have neck pain and dizziness, evaluation of your cervical spine may be the key.
