Symptoms of cervical vertigo
Cervical spondylosis dizziness typically occurs in the case of vertebral artery type cervical spondylosis, where the patient experiences episodes or exacerbation of dizziness when turning the head to one side. This is because, in vertebral artery type cervical spondylosis, due to bone hyperplasia or changes in curvature of the cervical spine, one side's vertebral artery is compressed. When the patient turns their head to the other side, the healthy vertebral artery is also compressed. At this time, the vertebral artery compressed by the bone hyperplasia cannot compensatively increase the blood flow, leading to insufficient cerebral blood supply, resulting in symptoms of dizziness or worsening dizziness. This is a typical manifestation of dizziness associated with cervical spondylosis. Treatment includes the use of drugs that invigorate the blood and improve cerebral blood supply, in conjunction with cervical physiotherapy. It is important to protect your cervical spine regularly, and avoid using a pillow that is too high at night. (Please take medication under the guidance of a doctor)
