Hi I have just had my first ever vertigo experience, wow, hope it never happens again. Two days later and I'm foggy headed and a bit wobbly still. It woke me up at 5am and whenever I tilted my head left or right the room spun . I've just started with an osteopath for neck issues and it's been going well. Though this time my neck was really sore and developed a bad headache, this got worse for two days, then got the vertigo . The dr thinks it's from the manipulation as opposed to my ears, I do also have tinnitus which developed similar time of my mayor neck issues. All the info I look at points to ears, is anyone heard of vertigo caused by neck issues.

According to the article, muscular tension/pain is associated with WAD and elevated tension in the muscles in the upper cervical region can cause an increase in sensory input from the proprioceptive system of the neck, which, in turn, creates conflict, since the other undamaged proprioceptive systems do not provide the same increase in sensory input. In other words, the neck is providing signals to the balance system that are out of sync with the other balance mechanisms in the body. The brain cannot manage such a mismatch of information and the patient experiences dizziness, which occurs at the same time as the neck pain.
Whiplash clinically is similar to postconcussion syndrome, but with the addition of neck complaints. It is possibly related to cervical vertigo. Dizziness occurs in 20-60%. Dizziness associated with whiplash can persist for years.
Just a thought that you may or may not want to further research.
Best wishes

I think my neck and vertigo are related as it started a week after physio to my neck 2 years ago. I've been to ENT and neuro otologist and i think we are all stumbling (pardon the pun) around in the dark as there isn't enough known about the condition. That's just the way it is. Also i am due to have a general anaesthetic soon so goodness knows how that will effect my vertigo as you mention intubation. I really think that the vertigo is here to stay and i just have to learn to adapt to it rather than let it dominate every day of my life. Enjoy the good days, do whatever you think might help but basically for myself I will have good days and bad days and over the past 2 years i can have a good morning, get tired, get dizzy, not be dizzy, be back to dizzy, walk around tilted and another day feel quite stable. It's totally unpredictable.

I'm on a site which mentions having had their wisdom teeth out ,then the Dizzyness began,and again on this site it's been mentioned .
I had my wisdom teeth out ,when I lived in Singapore ,so I know it's not anything dental ,if I didn't have this going everyday Id find it easier to accept ,same as I would the tinnitus .Keep on plodding I suppose .😁

I at times have ringing in my ears on one side so the evidence seems to point to the ears. Also I have had dizziness in my life about 4 other times but never has it lasted for 10months!! It is possible we have more than one thing going on to make our lives miserable right?
If it goes on & on sometimes a person trained in vestibular therapy can be of help. Feel better soon.
