This excerpt, from a physical therapy textbook, discusses the relationship between neck pain and dizziness. The authors argue that neck pain, especially after whiplash injury, can cause dizziness due to disruptions in the neck's sensory receptors, which provide the brain with information about head position and movement. The authors explain how these disruptions in sensory input can impact postural stability, eye movement control, and overall sense of balance. The text explores various causes of dizziness, including vertebral artery insufficiency and vestibular disorders, and provides diagnostic tools for differentiating between these conditions and cervical vertigo. The authors also discuss potential treatment strategies for addressing dizziness and sensorimotor disturbances associated with neck pain.
