Dizziness is a common complaint, and may be due to a variety of disorders. Knowledge of the differential diagnosis of dizziness, including other causes of vertigo and dysequilibrium allows recognition and diagnosis of cervicogenic dizziness. Cervicogenic dizziness is dizziness occurring in association with cervical pathology. Cervicogenic dizziness is believed to be due to abnormal afferent input from cervical proprioceptors in damaged tissues. Treatment of the underlying myofascial pain syndrome or other musculoskeletal condition may result in both reduced pain and dizziness. Recognition of this syndrome and knowledge of its treatment is valuable to rehabilitation practitioners.
