I have neck pain that is causing lightheadness & dizziness too. I am currently seeing my general practitioner who has coordinated my care.The first time, I saw my Doctor for neck pain was December, 2014. Two weeks ago, he ordered cervical x-rays. The x-ray reported degenerative discs. What type doctor Should I be referred to at this point?
