Ep. 055 | Cervicogenic Dizziness | Julia Treleaven

This episode of the Physiotutors podcast features Julia Treleaven, a researcher and physiotherapist, who discusses cervicogenic dizziness and its diagnosis. We delve into the condition's pathophysiology and prevalence in patients with chronic neck pain. We also discuss red flags to watch for during patient history taking and differentiating cervicogenic dizziness from other forms of dizziness. The episode covers functional tests used to assess balance and motor control and treatment options, including sensory-motor exercises, manual therapy, and posture correction. The discussion emphasizes the importance of focusing on the neck's role in such cases rather than just diagnosing the condition.   Content 00:00 Introduction 01:20 Definition 06:36 Characteristics of Cervicogenic Dizziness 12:08 Physical and Orthopedic Tests for Cervicogenic Dizziness 15:03 Functional Assessment for Cervicogenic Dizziness 18:25 Treatment for Cervicogenic Dizziness 26:10 Progressing Sensory Motor Control Exercises for Cervicogenic Dizziness 29:46 Role of the neck in dizziness 32:08 Research endeavors in neck-related dizziness 34:58 Determining the role of the neck in dizziness and the controversy of cervicogenic dizziness   Bonus Material To view and download the bonus content such as transcripts of this episode become a Physiotutors Member.
