What Is Cervical Vertigo?
Cervical vertigo is a condition of the cervical spine or neck that causes neck pain and dizziness. It occurs alongside certain neck conditions like a cervical spine injury. However, your symptoms may not appear for months or years after the initial injury. Because your cervical spine plays such an important role in balance, movement, and coordination, inflammation or injury to the area can cause dizziness, disorientation, confusion, and lightheadedness.
