Re: Neck ache / dizziness
I am not saying it is the same but I have a problem with my neck I have arthritis this problem causes me to have vertigo
Chronic neck problems, especially arthritis of the cervical spine, can cause problems with dizziness and balance. The complex bony and muscular structures within the neck, especially the many tiny joints, normally provide a constant stream of signals to the brain, helping it to understand the position of the body and how it's balanced. Problems in the neck can disrupt this fine control of balance, leading to a sensation of dizziness.
From BBC website.
Re: Neck ache / dizziness
I agree it is stress making you tighten up your neck and shoulders. I get it all the time.
Re: Neck ache / dizziness
Thanks for the replies. Yep, I thought as much.
It's really annoying tho... I've been swimming to try to relax, but maybe it will take a few more days of excersise and relaxing to shift it. Otherwise, am seeing my GP next week anyway...he does acupuncture, so maybe he will try that.
Thanks again folks.
Re: Neck ache / dizziness
I also suffer from neck & back aches, I also have alot tension in my shoulders. I do belive it is all conected to muscle tension, I don't realize I do it, but I am always shruging my shoulders and clenching my teeth, It has become a habit I have to stop it. I also have been going to the chriopracter, it has seemed to help.

Re: Neck ache / dizziness
It might be tension but how is the tension caused?
I read about this Necprotech device on www.selfbuilder.net. I don't know how good it is but is seems it is fairly cheap so there isn't much to lose from trying it out.
Re: Neck ache / dizziness
Hi
Me too with this at the moment. Shoulder and neck is so tense. Teeth clenched. Dizzyiness/lightheaded is the scary part for me. Think its more serious
Re: Neck ache / dizziness
ive had this for a couple of years and only just started with dizzy spells and head pain on one side... DONT do breast stroke, its the worst thing for your neck... find a good osteopath and get it sorted, you wont know yourself xx
