Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Seems that you are suffering from
cervical spondylitis, the giddiness & the sensation of loss of balance in her case is termed as CERVICAL VERTIGO. This is generally a benign condition and is usually self limiting.
The general treatment guidelines for her condition is as follows -
Use a soft cervical Collar: Soft collar allow the muscles of the neck to rest and limit neck motion. This can help decrease pinching of nerve roots with movement. Soft collars should only be worn for
short periods of time, because long-term wear can decrease the strength of neck muscles.
Medicines:
Analgesic are needed in the acute phase (
Ibuprofen,
Diclofenac,
Naproxen etc). Muscle relaxants are essential for relieving muscle spasm. Neurotropic vitamins like METHYLCOBALAMINE orPREGABALIN will help in alleviating the
neuropathic pain.
Cervical traction: may enlarge the disc space, permitting the disc protrusions to regress back. Intermittent cervical traction for not more than 30 minutes at a time will suffice.
Physiotherapy: Once the acute phase of pain has subsided, Isometric strengthening exercises of the paravertebral muscles are started, under the supervision of a qualified physiotherapist .
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
