Description

Dizziness often changes the way patients move.

When head movement feels threatening, many patients begin to restrict it—sometimes for months or even years.

Over time, that avoidance can contribute to neck stiffness, pain, and reduced range of motion. But does that mean the neck caused the dizziness in the first place?

In this episode, Firat Kesgin explains why clinicians need to look carefully at what came first: the vestibular problem, the protective behavior, or the neck symptoms.
