Brief Answer:
Due to neck arthritis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The balance problems that you have could be related to cervical spondylosis. The numbness also indicates nerve root compression due to spondylottic changes in the spine. You need to consult an orthopedician or a neurosurgeon for proper prescription medicines to reduce the symptoms.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
