Does Physical And Vestibular Therapy Help In Curing Cervicogenic Vertigo And Dizziness?

Discuss with your Doctor about medications too.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
In my opinion, those arm and neck movements didn't cause whiplash, more probably it was a cervical muscles strain that caused you to feel worse.
Gentle (not aggressive) physical therapy together with vestibular therapy are among treatment modalities about cervicogenic vertigo and dizziness.
Use of drugs such muscle relaxers (baclofen, Tinazidine), antidepressants (venlafaxine), botulinum toxin injections are indicated in treatment of cases like yours.
In rare cases, neck stabilization surgery is used too.
With proper measures and treatment, your condition certainly will improve further.
You should discuss with your Doctor about prescription of drugs, in addition to physical therapy.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
I remain at your disposal for further questions and clarifications.
Take care.


It is a temporary damage.

Welcome back.
Most likely there was a muscle strain and this is not a permanent condition or damage.
So, it should subside in a few days.
Hope this helps.
