Effects of Vestibular Exercises and Motor Control in Cervicogenic Dizziness

The feelings of imbalance, unsteadiness, and disorientation with cervicogenic dizziness is not clear. It has been suggested that a disruption of the normal afferent signals from the upper cervical proprioceptors to the vestibular nucleus results in an inaccurate depiction of head and neck orientation in space due to highly developed proprioceptive system that allows the neuromuscular control of cervical spine and effective use of vital organs in the head through unique connections to the vestibular and visual systems. Motor Control Therapeutic Exercises and vestibular exercises have been used to increase motor control and reduce pain and disability in patients with neck pain.
