Cervicogenic Dizziness | What is it? Mechanism & Diagnosis

The video tutorial explains cervicogenic dizziness, a condition characterized by dizziness linked to neck issues. It is diagnosed by excluding other causes like central or peripheral deficits. The leading theory suggests a mismatch between visual and cervical proprioceptive inputs causes the dizziness. The video outlines the diagnostic process, including screening for red flags and conducting vestibular assessments. If vestibular causes are ruled out, a detailed cervical examination is performed. Special tests are used to confirm cervicogenic dizziness after other conditions are excluded.
