I believe that cervical spinal stenosis, disc herniations, POTS, heart palpitations, etc. can all be interrelated... Sadly, medical personnel often dismiss the dizzyness, lightheadedness, and tachycardia as panic attacks - while ignoring the fact that the person has cervical diagnoses and no history of anxiety or mental health problems.
Yes, check out my newest video: ua-cam.com/video/HFxZk0r4SVs/v-deo.html
Or they diagnose it as something _impossible._ I had extreme dizziness to the point of vomiting AND DOUBLE VISION and they said "it's your inner ear." Um...how can my ear fluid cause *_DOUBLE VISION?!_* I literally asked where he went to medical school and how he had the nerve to practice medicine at all. I went to a chiropractor and he correctly diagnosed a pinched nerve at C1 and fixed it.
💯💯💯 not only dismissed (tho that’s absolutely true) but also diagnosed w hypochondriasis & conversion or psychosomatic disorder....medical negligence/arrogance at its finest
@@pyarkaaloo They need to _practice_ medicine a _lot more_ to become even close to proficient!
Yes.. I get dizziness and my doctor dismisses it as anxiety/panic attacks
Its such a gratifying pleasure to encounter doctors who give away the information they usually hoard, freely. The videos definitely provide necessary insight. Thank you. Be well.
My pleasure!
I have a friend who visited an Opthalmologist for intermittent blurred vision and was taken by ambulance directly to a hospital for emergency surgery with a restricted carotid artery. He's lucky to be alive, that was 20 years ago.
Definitely lucky!
Dr. Jon, you just diagnosed perfectly my dizziness problem of 5 months. After 2 CT’s, 1 MRI, 4 trip’s to the ER and multiple X-Ray’s all in 4 month’s. I ask to have my neck included with the MRI ( being just my head) AND my PCP said NO! I’m Mad!
I hope this will open up some communication about your problem with your PCP.
@@drjonsaunders , Thank You, Dr. Jon. My Doctor is a young man with a huge practice in Geriatrics. His time with each patient is very limited . But, I’m going to ask him to please listen to your short video dizziness. You didn’t say this was my problem, but you described my symptoms perfectly. God Bless
Betty, I get it... ME TOO!!!!!! Totally mad that the neurologist, Primary - NO ONE diagnosed this....
Thank God for Dr. Saunders video! The doctors @ the emergency clinic said my neck pain had nothing to do w/ vertigo.@@bettymobley763
@@bettymobley763 hello, i hope you are well now,
Reading your comments I see you are in the same position as myself, ct scans/ mri etc all to no avail, did you get a neck MRi ? If so, what did it show up? Also hax going to a CHIROPRACTOR helped at all,
Best wishes from the uk 😊
I felt lightheaded and dizzy all of a sudden. Went to chiropractor and he’s been working on adjusting my neck. I feel 90% better 😎
Glad to hear that...all the best!
Brilliant! After 3 months of being a detective, I've finally discovered what is making me dizzy. Thank you! I will now see a Chiropractor.
Excellent!
This guy is an absolute genius. So intelligently explained.
Thank you! 😊
Thank you for posting this. I do indeed have severe dizziness and vertigo. After MRIs & CT scans and they showed cervical stenosis. I am now going into hospital for a long Branin & Cervical 4D MRI, PET scan with Arteriogram on last of Feb. Getting Drs to do anything or take you seriously is very frustrating, and it seems, can be deadly. You have explained more than many visits to the ENT & ER has in years. Thank you.
I hope you get to the bottom of this and get well quick.
Oh man. You made the neck issue series 2 years ago. Still so relevant and helpful. Thanks
Yes! It's getting more relevant with all the 🖥 work and 📱 use.
@@drjonsaunders So True
Absolutely a blessing watching this!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much loved it have to watch it again
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for this great video, I have an Telemed appointment with my PCP today it's frustrating to go back and forth with different Doctors and you have to self diagnose. I'm truly happy and grateful to have came across your video today! Thank you again.
Glad it was helpful!
What a great doctor, offering up very informative and helpful advice. Thank you!
My pleasure!
thank you Dr. Saunders! Your exercises DO work - wouldn't have believed it if I didn't actually feel relief from my cervicogenic vertigo (which was causing me to despair!)
Wonderful!
Great content! Thank you dr Saunders ❤
Welcome!
This is very wonderful video. So much appreciated. Thank you so much Doc.
Glad it was helpful!
i ended up with Dx of pppd because i have a history of meniers symptoms including vertigo and tenitis, pppd is like chronic dizziness, its makes it hard to walk , shop drive etc, i had to go to vestibular PT for a couple months , which included watching optokenetic videos on you tube, but am feeling much better. Life changer! I also have chronic neck pain so i believe i get vertigo episodes because of my neck too. because sometimes when i turn head left or right the vertigo would start. stretching daily and decompression does help my neck feel better, plus heat and ice, creams etc. thank u for these videos
Glad you are feeling better. :)
These exercise of the neck were
unbelievable for my dizziness and balance.
This is truly a blessing for me ..
Thank you,
Dr. Saunders.
You're so welcome!
@@drjonsaundersdr i have c6 c7 disc is my dizziness due to that
Thank You, Dr. Jon. You’re my Hero! I took a hard fall about 15 yrs. Ago. I’m in constant neck pain. Had shot’s in my spine and Acupuncture, nothing has relieved the pain.I’m a woman of 76 yrs. USA
Glad you enjoyed my video.
Sir, good review. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
This has come up as a recommended video and I'm so thankful that it did. I have been experiencing severe vertigo for a couple of months now and it has been so bad that it has knocked me off my feet a few times. Through out this whole time I have been in pain with the left side of my neck, from under my jaw to my collar bone/shoulder region. A week ago the pain in my neck subsided and I only realised a couple of nights ago that had any bouts of dizziness had eased. Yesterday the pain in my neck was back and so was the dizziness. I tried stimulating the neck muscles as you showed and I pressed along the left side of my neck and felt nauseous and slightly dizzy.
I thought it was an inner ear problem, but now it seems as if that may not be the case.
Glad to hear you have discovered a potential cause to your dizziness....please see your doctor to confirm. All the best!
Wow...that first test really brought on the dizziness/vertigo. And I've been diagnosed with disk degeneration and osteoarthritis. I can hear grinding in my neck when I rotate it...I realize I need to get more tests, but this really was helpful. I've been suspicious my neck problems were the cause. Time for a visit to the dr. Thanks...great content.
Glad it was helpful!
Wow the grinding I hear too my neck does not hurt. Please let me know how it went with you after your testing ty
How u can know is the dizziness is by neck or otherthng im frm nepal pls reply me
Amazingly helpful video!
Glad you think so!
Very informative and well presented. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you doctor im so happy to see your content about this vertigo cause all you explained about dizzinnes that I feel was coming from my neck. This is the answer to my problem about my suffering from vertigo. And I will watch all of your videos about this. Its a big help really appreciated it
My pleasure...best wishes.
Is it ok. Now ?
Thank you doctor! I had it a year ago. My chiropractor friend came to adjust me at home. He did exactly likes you did show us. Now I’m feeling better, can drive, walking again! Only one thing I can’t do is looking up higher. I remembered I had it when I look up high to clean my patio ceiling. Two weeks later I started to spin! Now I have to be careful with looking up! Thanks again! ❤️
Glad to hear you are doing better...all the best!
See a Cardiologist
@@katevalentine7075 , cardiologists for what exactly? Thanks
Yes. When I hold my head back, that’s when I get dizziest.
@@camrobn Same with me, I get dizzy and my head feels heavy & clogged for lack of a better word
So sick of living this way.
Jesus please heal me ✝️ 🙏
Thank you for this great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you very much. Your videos are very informative and professional.
Glad you like them!
You sir are a saint. Got super dizzy in the night and this helped fix it. Thank you so much for putting these videos up.
Glad to help!
What helped u fix the dizziness? These tests were to see if cervical is what caused the actual dizziness… did I miss something?
Thank you so much for these at home tests. When I do them, I not only get dizzy and can't bring my head to center, but I also feel nauseous. Is nausea also a sign? I had a bad fall recently, and I think I got whiplash... I'm not sure if it's a concussion... but it's been a week, and I still get dizzy/nauseous/anxious/dazed on really short walks. At times, I can't stand moving objects. I saw my family doc, but he was really dismissive and provided no clarity. So, thanks for your videos.
Update: Turns out I have post-concussion syndrome (PCS) and whiplash. I started doing physiotherapy, and it's been helping. Thought it's worth mentioning for anyone else that might be experiencing the same. I also had increased light and sound sensitivity.
My pleasure!
Doctor Saunder, you are the helper of my problem, thanks.
Glad to hear it. :)
You hit the nail in the head, I been dealing with dizziness for 2 year and my problem problem is always been misdiagnosed. Most people is been told that this problem is related with anxiety and depression depression
Which is not the case. You are doing a great job. I would like for you to make a video on what to do. To get better and give rid of the nightmare I been dealing with. Thank you so much God bless.
Thank you...I do have a few videos to show you how to help...check out the other videos on my channel.
i have diziness and vertigo since 12 years :(
OMG! I was just complaining to my daughter in a text message about my constant lightheadedness, brain fog, dizziness (not real vertigo). It takes a significant toll on my quality of life, on top of chronic pain (fibromyalgia). After the text message, I glanced at my computer screen and saw your "Can Dizziness Come from the Neck?" UA-cam video. I have most of the specific contributing factors you listed. I had a severe whiplash injury many years ago from a car crash. I went on to develop fibromyalgia. I will watch your next related video "How to Get Rid of Cervicogenic Dizziness." Deep appreciation for your educational videos. You have a direct, easy-to-understand style of teaching. Thank you.
Thank you for your support and best wishes in your recovery. :)
I have similar condition you are experiencing. I start taking homeopathic medicine. Its my 4th week now. So far not much improvement.
@@raindrops1047 :( Keeep on searching for someone who can help you.
@@drjonsaunders hello hope you are fine
I have problem of lightheadness all the day since 2017 on and off imbalance issue on these attack days
Also I have anxiety and neck stiffness issue and muscle tension issue also
I can't understand what I do doctors can't understand my problem I am very tired of this
Thank you sir. I think you fixed my dizziness. I will do your test tomorrow.
Best of luck!
I’ve been dealing with vertigo for almost a year now and honestly this is probably the best video I’ve come across to explain everything. Doing the chair test that’s where things really hit me. I have neurological appointments set to talk about this stuff and do more tests but something has been telling me to go see a chiropractor instead.
I'm glad you found it helpful - always best to rule out all potential causes with your health care providers. Best wishes.
Neurosare useless
Thank you Doc. For your valuable time and information. GBU.
You are very welcome!
Very well explained. I am suffering from neck pain for last 7-8 years. Now i can understand the cause . Very helpful 👌 Thanks a lot.
Wonderful, thanks for watching!
This was in my recommendations. I live in the UK and I have Lumbar & Cervical Spondylosis and was diagnosed in 1991, so 30yrs ago. Every single thing you have said I can relate to 100%. I was 69 on 8th December 2021 so I would expect some form of arthritis to start settling in, but to get it at the age of 39 it did take some getting used to. Thank you Dr Saunders for an excellent vid.
My pleasure...thanks for watching!
Martin, greeting to a likewise Sufferor of Spinal Spondylosis. I', just a year ahead of you having turned 70 in Oct 2021. Look a my comments to Dr. Jon which describes the maladies and affects of conditions that we experience. Too numerous to list here again, but should include, the Impact of this to your Daily Well Being. I will leave you thgis comment to ponder further: We can send a Rocket ship to Mars , land a Rover on the surface, and remote control it from Earth, BUT there is mo science to Defeat these arthritic conditions??? Aside from the fact that I suffer with Degenerative Disc Disease in much of my spinal Discs, many of which are "mighty thin" according to a Pain Management Doctor when giving me a Lumbar Epidural (which did very little to alleviate the pain), my first Cervical MRI done in 2012, revealed that I have a More Narrow Spinal Canal than Normal according to the radiologist report. Viewing videos like this one and others does offer some comfort as I learn that I am not ALONE. I've been to numerous Chiropractors, Acupunturists, doctors of all types, but no real answers to deal and or Improve these maladies. I am looking into Proloterapy (check out Caring Medical YT channel), to see if that offers relief. It is not readily avaialble in my area (NY Suburbia). Prolotherapy has been around for over 60 years. I'll try ANYTHING.
@@drjonsaunders hallo doctor I have this sevier loss of breath and dizziness whenever I inhale anything strong because I have throat infection. I have throat infection that whenever i inhale anything strong my all body react immediately. Please doctor I need some urgent help. This thing makes me uncomfortable mostly 😭
hello
Hi , I am 36 yrs old and I am diagnosed with cervical spondolysis and I do suffer dizziness and headaches everyday due to which my anxiety increases could you please guide how to overcome this
Thank you for this info! I will check it out! It may be the key!!
You are so welcome!
Thank you Dr.. it is indeed such a relief to know what no other Doctors say..
My pleasure!
Thank you so much for this wonderful video! I have all of these symptoms but my provider continues to say I have BPPV. How do I move forward in treating the cervical vertigo? I do have Occipital Neuralgia as well. Thanks so much!
Thanks for your comment - watch this: ua-cam.com/video/wkwFnLlhcPE/v-deo.html
BPPV is diagnosed easily by the right doctors…………..do you only get dizzy in certain positions?
Can cervical stenosis be a cause for cervicogenic dizziness?
Your video is so easy to understand. That is a big plus in any lecture.
Hard to say if it is causative or associated with it...but you can definitely have both.
Thanks for your video, I have dizziness problem for last couple of years and don’t know why? I will be waiting for your next video.

Thanks, it’s really help me to have some answers on my dizziness, lightheaded,unstable, and over roll nightmare for an over one year. Thanks again
Great, thanks for sharing!
Thank You Doctor.I was born with a slight curve in my spine.I had a head scan, heart test and blood pressureAND ALL CAME BACK GOOD.MY NECK IS ALWAYS SORE .NEVER WOULD THINK IT COULD BE MY SPINE..I felt slight dizziness for 3 days and then I almost passed out so I went to the Emergency room.They never mentioned that it could be my neck.God Bless you for this video.
I hope you feel better soon!
Thanks for a great video. Hang in there everyone....you will get better, it takes some time and patience.
Yes patience is key here...thanks for commenting!
What if the dizziness is there before the exercises
Thank you so much sir for sharing this priceless information God bless you
My pleasure!
Wonderful information. During the spinning chair test I did get flashbacks to David Byrne dancing in Stop Making Sense.
I'm so glad you enjoyed my video. Take care :)
excellent speech / presentation !
no one has come out with such explanation on dizziness..as far as i know..
thanks.
i am an eligible candidate to try all your techniques and advices..
1 i had first left side B. Palcy. 4years back. recovered 95 pc.
2 then came dizziness when i turn from left to right side while lying down.. 2 years back.
now.. slowly getting better due to various adoptions..
🙏💐💐💐
All the best!
thank you, very clear and answered a lot of questions for my recent vertigo issue because mine seems to be an inner loose crystal issue, accompanied by my stiff neck. Pretty sure it's my inner ear now and not my neck. Getting an x ray today also. Thanks again....
Best wishes!
Hi Dr. Good video and explication about it, Great Job, congratslation, God bless you and take Care🙏🏽👏🏽👍🏼
Thank you kindly!
Thanks Po for your video this is a big help exercises to be done at home for Vertigo that I'm experiencing right now thank you so much Po
Happy to help!
I definitely have dizziness caused by my neck. I'm sixty-seven, and have had it most of my life, but it just recently became bad enough to interfere with my life. I'm just looking around for anything I can do at home that my doctor and chiropractor might have overlooked.
Maybe you mentioned it and I missed it, but numerous medications can make this condition much worse. I'm on three medications that list dizziness as a common side effect, and I'm sensitive to all three.
Here is my newest video on dizziness that may help you: ua-cam.com/video/oW1rlhiVS50/v-deo.html
Hi, a great video. I have been suffering with attacks for around 7 years, after visiting the hospital on and off for the last 5 years as an In patient and a day patient, I have had so many tests including MRI, blood test tilt table and we seem to be getting nowhere. My symptoms are dizziness that sometimes causes me to go semi unconscious I hear things that are going on around me and I start shaking people are talking to me but can not respond to them until the shaking stops. Is this something you have heard of before with cervicogenic dizziness. Thanks in advance. Keith.
That wouldn't be typical of cervicogenic dizziness...please keep your doctor searching for cause...all the best!
@ Revs Motors Make sure you are not being subjected to toxic mold… certain species like Stacky released mycotoxins that can be very neuro toxic in nature. Also, mild can be hidden in HVAC units, air vents, anywhere there is high humidity (over 50%) and/or on moldy lumber, pallets, etc.
there are blood test that can be ran to check against a list of toxic molds, it looks for an IgG, IgA and IgE reaction and then MMP-9 and TGF Beta-1, these are specialty test.
Note: Around 28% can not properly detox mold.
I hope this is helpful in your journey of healing. God bless. 🙏
Amazing video, thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Good morning Dr Jon, yes I did the test and my dizziness comes from my neck , and I remember when I had a Xray the doctor told me I have arthrosis around c5 c6 , for sure I need your excercises, thank you Dr. Jon
I hope they help you.
Based on what you have shown in this video, I think what I have been struggling with for quite some time now, is cervicogenic dizziness. Thank you so much for making such helpful videos!
Thanks for sharing!
Can this be cured at home?
With excersize ?
I think I have this issue
Can I make appointment to see u how
Thank you Dr for the great video. Maybe I will explain about my bulging disc on my neck to the Dr. I had vertigo and dizziness within 2 weeks and I'm warded in the hospital right now. All EEG, ECG, MRI, blood test result was good. Tomorrow I will go for ENT.
Glad to hear your testing is normal so far...best wishes.
Thank you doctor for this information 😊
Welcome!
Thanx doc i believe we could be on to something for myself as far as direction to get well
Absolutely!
You have just described me!!! I have all the above! Car accident, 36 years of sitting at computers for my work, neck pain, osteophytes on anterior cervical spine at c4-5-6! I'm a mess. Wish you were in the states!
You will be able to find someone to help you...best wishes :)
I just wanted to add something about cerviogenic dizziness for those of us who have had cervical fusions.
I had a double cervical fusion with titanium plating at C5-C6 and C6-C7. Six weeks after the surgery I started physical rehab and my neck muscles had gotten so weak I couldn't lift my head off the table. After strengthening the neck muscles in therapy I could lift and rotate my neck again, but 16 years after the surgery was when I first started getting cerviogenic dizziness. I was older, and my neck and upper and mid-back muscles had all gotten weaker. I now realize that I had also slipped into a forward head posture, which made the dizziness that much worse.
If you've had a cervical fusion, you really need to stretch and strengthen the neck muscles and ligaments. The fusion and plating artificially supports the neck and can lead to the muscles and ligaments getting weak from disuse.
I talked to my neurosurgeon and he said that within 15 years of cervical fusion surgery up to 80% of patients will get cerviogenic dizziness. (It would have been nice if he or one of his staff had mentioned this at the time of the surgery so that I could have been more vigilant about keeping my neck strong and wouldn't have freaked out when I did get cerviogenic dizziness the first time...)
Thanks for your comment!
Damn that sucks, so has strengthening your neck helped it now
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I saw people use hand and head pushing against each other at different directions (5seconds each time) to strengthen muscles. I have dizziness and straight neck too. Will try to exercises. Hope you feel better.
Thank you so much for this video. I have had neck fusions and suffer from Vertigo and have been to multiple doctors. I just started with Chiropractor so I will pass this on.,
Thanks for watching, I hope you feel better soon!
This was awesome!!! Thank you!!!!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have been saying for years my dizziness is coming from my neck! I don't feel crazy now! Everything in this video is what I experience. I've said all of those things "foggy", "drunk" "feeling off". I recently started PT for a shoulder injury and they massage my shoulder and neck as part of my treatment and this triggered some severe dizziness and eventually a migraine. Still feeling the "aftershock" 6 days later.
You should definitely explore your neck as the cause...I hope this video is helpful for you.
Great video. I paid $800 for blood work that showed nothing. Complete waste of money. I worked it out that it was my neck. My problem is Ipad neck. Massage with Capsaicin oil and Magnesium oil gets the best results. Also eye exercises.
Felt the same right after my therapist
This is how I started feeling 5 months ago. Just had head and neck MRI yesterday. Both with and without contrast. I think I will make an appt with the upper cervical clinic today.
*When the doctor did that. To me ,I thought I was flying around the room . It was scary and horrible.
At home I do it sitting and move my head down to the side until I feel steady. There is. Nothing as Awful as vertigo. It is the only medical condition that limits any and all activities. I used to get it Often and would cause panic. I don’t have it often, but when I do., I panic knowing I might have To cancel my plans but the neck movement does help. Also, you must limit your salt intake. I pray I never have the feeling of flying or seeing my furniture floating around the room thinking It would land on me. No one can understand what you feel or fear unless they have ever had Such a debilitating condition.*
Thank you for sharing and best wishes.
Hello Dr. Saunders, I was diagnosed with DDD several years ago. However, after an upper endoscopy 4+ years ago, I started feeling lightheaded, not for a brief while but 24/7 to date. Not a dizzy or faint feeling but for lack of a better word, I felt like I was high on weed. I haven't smoked in nearly 2 decades but this is what I'm experiencing. After my initial discovery, my doctor immediately sent me to a cardiologist to rule out any heart-related issues. I did all the necessary diagnostics and nope, not my heart. I went to see an ENT Specialist to make sure it wasn't an ear infection, nope, ears are good. I had suspected it was neck-related because whenever my neck aches got more intense, the lightheadedness was elevated but never to the point of dizziness or fainting. I say neck aches because I do not get neck pain or any stabbing sensation as many describe. Every time I go to see my doctor which is twice a year, I complain about my lightheadedness and it falls on deaf ears. In my research, I came across Cervicogenic Dizziness and even mentioned this to my doctor on my last office visit. Again, he said/did nothing. I saw the ENT Specialist again because this is affecting my quality of life and I just want to wake up one day normal. I go to bed lightheaded and wake up lightheaded. I am getting foggy and I'm on slow mode because of this. When I go down the stairs, I make sure to hold on to the railing because I do not know what to expect. Can a chiropractor truly help me? Thank you.
Based on your comment, I would definitely seek out a chiropractor who understands cervicogenic dizziness to see if that may be causing your problem. Best wishes.
❤️👍🙏 Thank you so much Dr. Suanders!
My pleasure!
My luck here is I have inner ear problems, neck pain, and hypertension. If I'm getting something from the cupboard from the top shelf and have to look up, I have to give myself a minute so I don't fall over. Same with bending over with my head down. In fact, that's how my dizziness first came on last year, I was picking up a coin, felt a rush of acid to my throat, and then what I call blinding dizziness came on.
Sorry to hear this. 😔
same here. been like this for 55 years. Just met a knowledgeable physiotherapist who said: Thoracic Outlet syndrome. So I started working with her on alleviating the symptoms. Medical doctors are clueless and bad mouth other medical practitioners. smh
We need to start coordinating; Do our own analysis on this community to find patterns. Here's one question for everyone having dizziness after the vac. Every person post your answer below and we'll look for patterns.
Prior to the shot, have you ever had issues with the nervous system or dizzy spells?
I have. I had decades of stress that gave me back & neck stiffness, and made me restless. And 6 months before my shot, I had my 1 and only dizzy spell for a few minutes. After the shot, (seconds after), the dizziness came on and stayed. It's been a year now.
Sorry to hear this. :(
u got vxd? you do realize its not a vx at all...its something far far worse...
Great vidio wish I seen this 3 years ago, top of my list from now on
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yes yes finaly a video that help me omg hello from Greece I'm so glad I found your video I'm on my pv 24/7 and when I lay on my bead and close my eyes and turn around from side to side I'm soo dizzy, also when I walk inside the apartment or outside this has me feel so unable I also experience vertigo event when I wake up in the morning before a year was awful experience I visit my Kiropraktik doctor but problem stil here I'm soo desperate 😢😢
I'm glad you found my video helpful, please explore my channel for more videos that you may find helpful.
Thank you for these exercises! I've been doing ocular / Brandt - Daroff exercises for six months with little relief. Crystals have been ruled out. This may be the piece that finally helps me get over the headaches / brain fog and dizziness! Willing to give it a try!
I hope they help you - best wishes.
Dr. Jon, this is very interesting, especially for those of us, like me that definitely have cervical issues. I'm a 70 yo, male, retired in May 2021, forced by the numerous spinal maladies of Facet Joint Arthritis, Spondyloitis, & Degenerative Disc Disease with a Leg Length Discrepancy - 1 " shorter right leg since 1966 after a fractured Femur at 15 years old. That in itself , which ws left Unaddressed after the Body Cast came off, has affected my spine Big Time. Unfortunately, I paid little or attention to the Creepeing Affects of Lower back pain and stiffness which began about 15 years later. The LLD has created mkuch harm by Twisting and curving my spine (dextroscoliosis of 25 degrees), stemming to my Neck - DDD there too, Military Neck (loss of the Curve), and C4-C7 disc bulges with all the facet joints with arthritis. A number of others posting here, describe it well: It's not total dizziness , but can be subtle and feel like getting off a Boat or Elevator. The Cervical Instabilities also affect Soooo very Much in the body as the Vagus Nerve passes through the Top 2 vertebrea (Atlas & Axis), and the stenosis affecting that and other Nerves as they go to the other reaches of the Body. I'm No Doctor, but have elected to find ANSWERS that do not come from Doctors. The typical mantra od Neurologists, Pain Management drs, Rheumatologists , etc., "Take a Pill For The Ill". Chiropractic and Acupuncture care helps (I've been to many ), the 6 different Neuro and Spinal Surgeons have all told Me No Surgery for you. Definitely not on your Lumbar Spine - way too much arthritis, Maybe a Candidate for cervical fusion if "It" becomes unbearable. I have learned that The cervical Instabilities, contribute to Chronic Sinusitis, TMJ Syndromes, Ear pain, Balance issues with Gait Unsteadiness , Incontinence, even IBS / GERD (The Vagus Nerve), eye pain / Twitches, even painand discomfort to my Teeth / Cheeks. To complicate matters for me, my first Cervical MRI done in 2012, revealed that my spinal canal is More Narrow Than Normal according to the radiologist report. That in itself combined with the other issues that have developed previously stated, to a Layman like me, but kuch less so because of the research I've done, Screams that Common Sense would indicate that this is the Culprit of the many health maladies.
I'm looking into Prolotherapy which is not readily available to me in Suburban NY. When one hits this point of misery (mostly the Chronic Stiffness and the temporal pressure/ headaches, Tinnitus, ear and eye pain (off and On), and Chronic pain [fortunately, usually 5-7 level , never a 10], wchich generates anxiety, I'm ready to try anything to eliminate these maladies. I would welcome any opions of Prolotherapy.
Sorry to hear all this...yes, prolotherapy can be beneficial in some cases for sure...I wish you all the best.
Me too i have cervical issues

Thank you so much this really helped.. I figured out the cause of my dizziness
Thanks for sharing!
This helped so much to determine if I have cervicogenic dizziness. I surely do. 5 weeks now. I'm seeing an upper cervical chiropractor. My Atlas was off but its been holding so far since adjustments to my neck and spine. Im very dizzy the day after adjustments. I'm dizzy the most when walking not so much sitting still. Riding in the car is like being in a boat in a storm, so I use a pillow like a shock absorber. I'm slowly improving, very slowly. I can't drive. Im doing neck exercises. Sometimes its hard to think and comprehend things. I'm just waiting for my body to heal. Thank you doc for this video!
My pleasure!
Thanks a lot for your videos, they're really useful.
I've been experiencing dizziness for a year and I believe it's connected to my neck since I work in front of the computer for many hours a day.
A few months back I also started to experience involuntary movement of my head (spams) when I rest it on the pillow on a certain way or in my hands which I think it's connected to the tension on my neck. Have you ever seen someone with this? I haven't been able to find any information anywhere.
Also, does all of this seem to you that it could be cervicogenic vertigo?
Thank you very much for your time :)
You could have some dizziness coming from your neck, but I encourage you to see your health care provider to determine the correct diagnosis...once you have that you can work on correcting the problem...best of luck!
Hi, I have similar symptoms, though my head tremor came first, then neck pain, then recently dizziness. Did you ever get a diagnosis?
I've had panic attacks for a long time, since about 10 years ago. Four years ago I had my first panic attack that really scared the heck outta me but it was different from the rest. I felt like i was falling into the street and it was horrible. Weird thing is, i don't know if it was a panic attack or vertigo that caused the panic. That's what makes it hard when you've been through anxiety problems. I've had two vertigo spelld this year once after waking up and the other after s very stressful week and had a super tight neck. I got checked by doctors and they determined it was anxiety related since i have the vertigo feeling but it goes away fast and doesn't come back. The only time i feel it is when I'm super anxious and or super stressed and have a stiff neck. This video made me realize it's probably a neck issue because they checked my ear and said it was okay also health wise I'm good. Any tips Doc?
It can definitely be related to anxiety...but doing some neck stretching could help...try these: ua-cam.com/video/wkwFnLlhcPE/v-deo.html
For me it all started, 4-5 yrs ago. It began with anxiety and panic attacks. My reading now is that the trigger was the vertigo I was geting which was leading to anxiety and panic. It is mostly like chicken and egg story. Which came first? I started visiting psychologist, it gave me temporary relief but after 2-3yrs I realised problem was different, which the psychologist will never tell you. For me it was problem with the inner ear which was proved by the nystagmus I was having. I am on my way to recovery (60-70% recovered) just by doing the exercises (train the brain). I am also having stiff neck with mild cervical spondylosis, which could be another reason for my dizziness and imbalance. Still working through this. Morale of the story is you need to educate yourself enough to understand the problem alongwith your doctor's. Nobody understand s your own body better than you. Best of luck who are suffering and trying to recover!! It is not a dead end.
@@sumeetlamba799 suffering from the same here Dr and it give me sleeping disorder too. Waaaa
Thank you for sharing Dr. Jon Saunders.
My pleasure....best wishes.
Thank you, subscribed.
Welcome aboard!
Dr Jon I came to you last week about dizziness and honestly it's alot better. I also did ear candling as well and that didnt change as much as in the past. I too know that when I mids a meal I get light headed as well as when I am dehydrated. See you in the next few weeks.
Great to hear Jody...see you soon :)
I have Meniere's Disease, and have had the most success with Atlas Orthogonal chiropractic on a monthly basis.
Thanks for your comment! :)
This has been a revelation. for years i've had a stiff neck and struggling with dizziness. ENT doctor could not find anything, went to an ear doctor to find out if I had inner ear inbalance-no evidence,
finally got an MRI on my neck and they found moderate to sever stenosis in my C4-C5. My internal medicine physcian is trying to get me an appointment with a Neurosurgeon to assess on what would be the best course of action. All this to say, everything Dr. Saunders mention is my situation to a the letter including the tests I just performed.
Thanks for sharing! It is always recommended that you rule out other potential causes...all the best!
You have explained superbly. No one have ever taken topic of cervicogenic dizziness. But your video has given superb information. I have subscribed. Can you also explain how to recover from cervicogenic dizziness.
This may help: ua-cam.com/video/gk4qY2sXFOg/v-deo.html
Omg that’s exactly me. The grinding crunching in my neck , the feeling drunk, if I lift my arms and bend my head forward , my neck clunks . I have very poor range of movement . Don’t need to move on a chair to get dizzy . Have had permanent pain in my neck since I was about 11 . Not a single day without pain , either mild or excruciating.
Sorry to hear that. :(
same
My neck is dodgy too. I've been dizzy lately. Deep breathing, ginger, walking has helped me.
im already subs for you doc.jon hope more info for heatlh thanks from malaysia
Thank you! :)
OH, My. I'm in the US. You are a God send. I have had an issue that has come and gone for over 8 years. It returned about 2 years ago, and NO ONE, will listen to my symptoms. ENT, Multiple Audiologists, two DC's. Had two nose surgeries, and nothing but more problems. I found your page, which led me to a couple of other docs, but none anywhere around me. I am in Louisiana, and have called about 8 DC and I seem to know more about this than they do. Any suggestions? Thank you again, as I at least know where to start.
Sorry to hear that...keep looking? :)
My vertigo is weird. I feel like I’m being pushed from behind or when I walk the ground is moving upward. Also I feel like I’m in a fog. Great videos. Just subscribed🥰
Glad you like my videos :) Best of luck fixing your problem!
I feel the same way sometimes.
Angel Ita,
I also have the sensation of being pushed from the back, then go into a jerking seizure and stumbling to a fall. Most mornings, I awaken with severe vertigo..nausea, wretching, room spinning and light-headedness. I’ve had days where it has lasted 8 hours..the sickest I’ve ever been!! Is yours like this? Thank you.
I am seeing a Chiropractor for C D. Is it possible that doing the exercises you recommend can cause you to feel dizzier or should you feel instantly less dizzy? I know you have to be patient but how long does it take for the exercises to work?
Great that you are seeing a DC to get help...yes, some/all treatments/exercises may cause (reproduce) the dizziness...all treatments/exercise should be to your tolerance...please consult with your DC for further guidance and good luck!
Thank you Doctor. ❤
My pleasure!
I have been using the Neck Cloud to help with my cervical vertigo and it has helped along with other vestibular exercise.
Glad to hear it!
YES, to everything you have said, do you know of any Chiropractor that specialize in the neck that you could recommend in San Diego, California. I have been dealing with this since 2011, I’ve done everything under the sun. But you are the only one explaining why I have the vertigo...
Unfortunately I don't know anyone personally, but you should be able to find someone...just ask if they see patients with cervical vertigo regularly...as well, someone with an upper neck specialty would be a good place to start...best wishes.
Hi! I’m in the San Diego area and experiencing the same. Did you ever find one in the area that specializes in this?
Human body is extremely complex and therefore any solution is “UNSURE”
Indeed it is, which is why special testing is often required to determine the root cause of a problem...best wishes.
Very useful tips, thank you. After testing, I know my dizziness is coming from my neck now. Thank you Dr. Jon Saunders.
Best of luck!
Thanks,Dr,
Could it be cause I am now using wights,now,
Very well explained Dr. Appreciate it very much. Dr. For occipital bone pain what exactly is the cause for it n home treatment pls advice Dr.
Once again thanku so much
My pleasure...try this: ua-cam.com/video/Ax5Y_gbI9i4/v-deo.html
In the bath right now but can’t wait to get out to test this. I have rocking dizziness. I’ve also had weird head sensations, brain zaps, tinnitus and tingling in extremities, but those have resolved quite a bit.
I'm glad you are feeling better...best wishes.
Hey can you elaborate a but more on rocking dizziness, head sensations, and brain zaps. I'm talking with my doctor, but nothings come up yet. These sound similar to what I experience. Rocking dizziness, like when I lay down and it feels like I'm on a ship. Strange head sensations, like a thick fluid running on your head?
Edit: also any luck figuring out your health issue?
@@sarahluv6228 same... I don't know if it's my neck or a rare condition called mdds.... It literally feels like you're rocking on a boat with gravitational pull even when you close your eyes/staying still.... I need help... Everyday is torture
At different times I've experienced both lightheadedness and room spinning.
Sorry to hear that...please see your health provider to get assessed for cervicogenic dizziness...best wishes.
Thank you DR i am watching your video it good👍
Always welcome!
In general if there is vertigo just check vitamin d status and b12 levels. Also make sure your liver is in good health..
All good things to do.
I had vertigo when I suffered with an ear infection,(I also had covid at the time)this was the start of excruciating neck pain, and no matter what painkillers I took, they barely touched the pain I was suffering.Now 2yrs later I still have very bad back neck pains, especially when I wake up that causes headaches,maybe also its the way I sleep?!!,. I have a tv in my bedroom, and even when I lay down to watch, the pain comes back causing very bad head aches.I do try to exercises as to loosen the back of my neck(,ie neck rolling) but with limited results.
It is likely time to see your doctor for a diagnosis.
