This article is a follow up to my previous two blog articles on the subject of dizziness due to neck posture headache. This is the fifth (and final) installment of a series on the discriminating characteristics of cervicogenic dizziness, diverticulitis, and vestibular girdle. In this second article, we will look at some basic symptoms of dizziness due to cervicogenic vertigo and how you can tell if you are suffering from it. In the third article, we will take a look at the traditional treatment options for this condition and how they vary from situation to situation. I hope that this article has helped to shed some light on this condition.
Some of the traditional treatments for this condition include drug therapy, anti-depressants, cranial sacral therapy, and surgery. I will now give an overview of what is meant by the different types of sensorimotor dysfunctions that cause dizziness. The term for a person who experiences dizziness due to one or more of these is called a "Sensorimotor Detractor". It is important to be aware that although we typically think of dizziness as being a problem caused by imbalance between mental processes or brain function, it can also be caused by physical impairments such as tumors or sclerosis, or even by chemical imbalances in the brain.
Corticogenic Dizziness: When the patient experiences a sudden dizzy spells of movement, it is usually believed to be due to a problem with balance or coordination. However, people who suffer from this condition often report a tingling sensation that begins in their upper torso and moves down their legs. If a patient also suffers from nausea after eating or vomiting, then this condition is considered a true case of cervicogenic dizziness. In most cases the cause of this condition is not known, but it is usually caused by the patient's nervous system. For this reason, the best treatment for this is still exercise therapy. This type of therapy will allow the nervous system to restore a normal state and will help the patient return to a normal state of alertness.

Glaucoma: A patient who has experienced a reduction in the ability to maintain a steady gaze (cervicogenic dizziness) may suffer from a form of glaucoma. It can be treated medically with medication or through eye-restoration techniques. Medications can include eye-drops that widen the patient's pupil and keep the eyeballs oxygenated. These medications are only effective if vision loss is accompanied by other symptoms such as nausea or vomiting.
Vertigo: Some patients with a condition called vertigo may have a problem with maintaining a stable head position. This is caused by a difference in the amount of blood that is delivered to the brain and how quickly it gets there. This is known as "cervicalgia". Cervicalgia can be treated medically with anti-convulsant medication or through surgery.
Other causes for cervicogenic dizziness may include tumors on the brain stem, tumors on the spine, nerve damage, or even a lack of coordination of the muscles in the face. If you have any of these conditions, it would be in your best interest to see a doctor that deals specifically with the oculomotor system. This is the part of the nervous system that regulates eye movement, face movements, locomotion, chewing, swallowing, etc. If it is affected by a trauma, it can cause the person to lose balance and experience "wet spots" where the eyes begin to water and feel heavy. It is important that you seek medical treatment immediately so that you can get the proper treatment for your specific condition.
