Since the: ALAR ligament is in your NECK it is more likely that the whiplash injury (I think you have had????) has affected your balance mechanism in the inner ears! If so , you should improve with time!!! BTW there is no specific TREATMENT for the alar tear..it also will heal with time! Hope w1this helps! Dr Z
