Dr. Laurence Badgley answered

Specializes in General Practice

Unknown: Dizziness with neck movement can represent a variety of possible causes including neck muscle spasm (seen in younger people), arterial compromise (seen in older people), and vertigo from vestibulitis (seen in all age groups). A neurologist is the specialist best able to provide a differential diagnosis of such problems.
