A member asked:

Why is it that we have vertigo/dizziness when we are suffering from cervical spondilysis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Vessels and nerves: The blood supply and nerves associated with aspects of balance include those that run in the cervical spine and into the brainstem in the area between the spinal cord and cerebral cortex (posterior fossa). Hence, cervical spine lesions which affect the blood flow to this area, or descending tracts from the posterior fossa, can be part of a mechanism for vertigo.
