After many tests to exclude other causes ( AF) etc, I asked to see a CT scan of my neck from some time ago. Asked GP to refer me to a Spinal Consultant. MRI showed definite stenosis and disc degeneration ( I am 83) . Told them I have had a sore neck for years. Found your TH-cam article. decided to see my Physio. She gave me some tests rather than exercises. One morning was having dizzy turn at breakfast table while doing a crossword, Decided to do an exercise called the turtle where neck is pushed forwards and head lifted while in that position. Dizziness disappeared immediately! I had had several trips to ER in ambulance ( no cost over here thank goodness) . Since then , I follow your advice and my "turtle" exercise and NO recurrence of dizziness. Posture, fixed position and rest from fixed position are IT for me . Thankyou.
I love this! My problem with myself is, when im starting to feel better i get lazy with the exercises then my symptoms come back. I need to remember to be consistent
Thank You so much for this video !! I have been in and out of doctors for 2 1/2 years and they have not been able to find my problem. And out of the blue your video shows up today ! Thank you for taking the time to help people 😊
Thank you so much for making this video! I have been completely desperate with dizziness and after becoming to suspect that I indeed have cervicogenic dizziness, your video has really given me the much needed hope that there is something I can do to help myself! Already doing the exercises too :)
Watching from the Philippines thank you..i have consistent dizziness...i have gone to two (2) ENT vertigo expert and underwent mri..normal mri of cranial ..experiencing neck/cervical pain...and clicking of my right jaw
Thank you dr. i have the following issue shown in x ray, CT scan. It is thr for 2 months now. 1. Degenerative changes seen in cervical spine 2. Annular disc bulges C3-c4, c4-c5, c5-c6, c6-c7 indenting the thecal sac i have neck stiffness, little pain in neck but light dizziness while walking. It frustrates and mood off. Doing regular physio but see very little improvement. Little scared. Your views and suggestions dr.
Thanks for the long format. I purchased the cervical snap and it helps. I notice I feel sinus pressure when looking down. The pressure comes from the base of my skull or top of the neck. How can I relieve that pressure please? Thank you doctor
Thank so many doctors DONT have a clue unfortunately they go with what they feel is causing the problem crystals in the ears. Many have no clue on Vestibular or cervical I been through it all.
Can you do a video about what a daily routine would look like for exercises? Appreciate all your prior videos! Just don’t know which ones to do every day for relief and healing
Is cervicogenic dizziness a serious illness?my dizziness get worst as years go by..and im so scared with this feeling😢it started since 2013 before itw as not that too dizzy but now it gets worst..i dont know what doctor hu could help.me..
This video is an eye opener to my life… thank you so much because i wonder about doctors degrees here when they take up to 3 months in between many tests and MRIs that doesn’t go anywhere…. I have a quick question, what is the best position to sleep with this condition? I used a cervical roll that one of my PTs recommended me and the amount of pressure on the upper cervical as you mentioned, when i wake up is insane a the dizziness or light headed sensations gets worse..
Thanks for the comment. I personally like side sleeping w/ a medium firm pillow. Back sleeping would require a softer pillow and stomach sleeping is usually the worst position. Hope that helps and best of luck!
I had the same question. I love sleeping on my vack but I felt a pressure from ny neck to my sinus. When I laid on my side I was concerened about my SCM tightening. I use a flat pillow for my back sleeping and for side sleeping I do ehat Dr. Marrow said and added a plush blanket to help my head stay put for now
Botox has been clinically shown to decrease cervical headaches so this could have a positive effect. I am still biased toward neck strengthening for a long term solution. Thanks for watching!
I always get dizzy when I do the pencil tracking at the neurologist but they always say it's all good because I'm still tracking with my eyes. Meanwhile my whole head and face start to get tingly and my eyes feel blurry and heavy. Any recommendations on who I should see to get this looked into eg a physio, ent, orthopaedic surgeon etc? Idk what to do anymore. I'm in constant pain and spent 3 years almost completely bed bound which made it worse. I haven't been bed bound for the past five years but my body has suffered and I find my neck is super sensitive to any movement.
Bed rest will definitely weaken your neck which is number one problem in a case of cervicogenic dizziness. I would seek out a physio that is experienced in Gwen Jull style neck exercises. Standing and walking w/ good posture frequently will start to restore your neck strength/stability. Best of luck and I hope this helped!
My lightheadedness is triggered by prolonged upright position, most pronounced while walking. All of it accompanied by stiff neck. None of the specialists (ENT, Neuro, Cardio) found "the cause". I believe that neck tightness is causing proprioceptive conflict with my gait. What is a good test to check that? Thank you.
If you have obvious neck problems that could be playing a role in your symptoms. I would try to find a pysiotherapist in your area that specializes in neck care. Best of luck!

Fantastic news! So glad you are feeling better and thanks for sharing your story. Best of luck!
Thank you so much for doing this. It’s great to have all of your input on cervicogenic dizziness in one spot.
Glad you liked it and thanks for watching!

Consistency is key. Even the towel SNAG a couple of times per day (1-2 min) could greatly decrease cervical dizziness. Best of luck!

Do you have a recommendation for a good pillow for cervicogenic dizziness? Or best sleep position?
Sidelying position w/ medium firm pillow, back sleeping with softer pillow. Hope that helps.

thank you for the video! what are your thoughts on botox in the neck and traps to help with dizziness?
Botox has been clinically shown to decrease cervical headaches so this could have a positive effect. I am still biased toward neck strengthening for a long term solution. Thanks for watching!
If i'm not sure its cervicogenic dizziness, it is okay to still do the neck exercises anyway? I had an ENT verify it's not an inner ear disorder.
Exercises should be fine as long as they don't aggravate your pain or dizziness. Worth giving it a try most times!
Will this exercise help with the vision problem related to dizziness from vm and pppd or if it’s cervigenic
This helps dizziness related to a true neck disorder. The upper neck plays an important role in eye tracking but not visual acuity issues.
I always get dizzy when I do the pencil tracking at the neurologist but they always say it's all good because I'm still tracking with my eyes. Meanwhile my whole head and face start to get tingly and my eyes feel blurry and heavy. Any recommendations on who I should see to get this looked into eg a physio, ent, orthopaedic surgeon etc?

@@physiotipswithmarrow5836 thank you for the guidance!
I have dizziness when I stand up and all the time I’m standing and walking.
Have you found any relief? I have dizziness all the time. Just have learned to live with it.
I’ve had dizziness now for 17 months been to so many different doctors nobody can help
I hope the exercises in the video helps your situation. Best of luck!
I have dizziness its been a while my doctor give me meclizine but still attacking me!
I would give some of the exercises a try and see if they help. If they make you worse, of course discontinue. Best of luck!
