Three Cervical Radiculopthy Prolotherapy Treatments
| < Back to Prolotherapy Article Index |
Q. I have done 3 sessions of prolotherapy to my cervical spine, for herniated disc at C5-6 Level causing pain, stiffness and headaches. One week after my last treatment I developed worsening pain and stiffness for 2 days on both sides of my neck. The third day I woke up with severe dizziness every time I turned my head to the side and lite headedness for three days in a row. Can this be a side effect from the prolo a week later? Do you think the compression from disc could be affecting the spinal artery to cause such dizziness?
A. There can be many different and possible scenario’s. Prolotherapy stabilized the spine in one segment, your muscles relaxed but another segment remains hypermobile. This usually occurs when just a part of the neck is treated and not the whole neck. In such a case you may need these additional areas treated. It is generally the instability that is leading to the dizziness.
