I guess it's more or less telling me I'm at the age
of getting old & falling apart, which I'm not ready for
& all this time no 1 said I was a big pain in the neck.
But I guess it happens to the best of us in our lives
so now we have to live with it & see if I can work on
getting better to battle this as I progress in age.
From what I can see from this, is the therapy going
to help or even make a difference, can you tell me ?
cause what's the sense in therapy if it won't help.

If done correctly and by therapy professionals, you can benefit from it a lot Actually most of this is Chinese to me but perhaps this can offer you some help

Thank You for the article, I just went through it &
it makes sense to me cause at 1 time I went
through this but it didn't last long so that may
be what they have to do again to see if it helps.
But see it's like I told my Dr, I don't have pain
just the dizziness when I look up, so rather it
helps or not I don't know but something has to
be done I just pray it won't be surgery to fix it.

@much2say Well it went good but now I have to concentrate
on what's going on with my neck that's causing me dizziness.

It won't hurt. Done correctly therapies are helpful for overall health and slow digeneritive progress.

@2ndchances24 I think you doctor might advise on the next steps if that doesn't work.

Over 25 years ago, driving a taxi, our Tax Collector T-boned me. I was trying to avoid hitting her after she pulled out in front of me..anyway, I went to a Chiropractor..I couldn't even climb upon the table, they had to put me on a special one, that I would stand on a steel piece, hold on to railings, as they lowered the table down..anyway, after several visits, of getting ice packs, tens treatments. and massages, I had no more pain..they gave me exercises to do to strengthen my back, and knee. Another timei I was rearended by guys from KY on Spring Break...went to a different Chiropractor..all they did was use something like a cattle prod to jolt my back. Would never go back there. You need massage, and someone to give you exercises you can do too help, I still do those exercises and stretches. Really Helps.

HUM?? I knew some 1 that had to use a tens unit for her back
cause she was t boned in her taxi cab, I don't know if it helped
but yeah I know what that is, it's like a shock treatment.
But I don't have no pain, I have Dizzy spells looking up, so I'm
wondering if that's even going to help STOP them or what will
be next to help it stop, I have no idea if anything they do is
going to help.

@2ndchances24 Could it be Vertigo? I have Vertigo and when I look up I get dizzy. But it is when I lay flat on my back not at an angle..that it REALLY spins. They keep saying that it is caused from my Right Ear, but you can also get it from damage to the C1 thru C5 in your neck. I have bulging discs in my neck from the wrecks I have been in. So I wonder sometimes if that could be causing the Vertigo. I went to an Audiologist and they put me in a weird contraption, and said it was my right ear causing it.

I gonna do whatever needs to be done &
TRY my BEST to avoid surgery as LONG
as I can, but I can't do what needs to be done
if I can't look up without getting dizzy.

There are those that find therapy helpful and those that find it not helpful. Yes, when we get older things happen to us.
