mightyoak Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Head injury and vertigo? I am a civilian that suffered a serious head injury and know alot about the medical end of the vertigo. I feel bad for anyone vet battling vertigo from head trauma. It can get very comlicated to fix and can be debilitaing and it may take a long long time to find the source and make it go away. That was a very good link on it, and one point I would like to make that many people dont realise. If a person suffers a head trauma, the head may not have been the only thing that may have been injured or causing the vertigo. Always get that neck checked out as well, even if it does NOT hurt. Necks are notorious for vertigo but the last to be checked. Sometimes the neck is never checked by a regular doctor, and people wander from specialist to specialist with no results. I was one of those. The muscles at the base of the skull by the brainstem send signals to the eyes, the inner ear and the brain. All have to be working exactly correct. If one is off slightly, the result is vertigo. Check the ears, your eyes, if they come out ok, check your neck. It takes only a slight head injury to bring on vertigo. Good luck and I hope you feel better. mightyoak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
militarynurse Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 Thanks for the great replies. Since vertigo can be caused from a TBI ( movement of head ) or the neck ( cervical vertigo ), how are they differentiated since moving the head usually involves moving the neck as well?
