Hi i'm a 30 year-old female and i'd like you advice on my condition. About 6 weeks I started experiencing stiff neck and bad headaches (they felt like tension headaches). I wasn't too concerned since i'm a chronic headache sufferer, but this was different because of the stiff neck. I went to a chiro (who was also a physiotherapist) and she tried a bunch of things over the past few weeks - massage, interferential, ultrasound, chiro, etc. Nothing really seemed to be helping, and the application of heat packs may have aggravated the neck even more. About a week ago I went for an appointment, where she did some massage and one back adjustment, and ever since then, i've lost my balance. I feel like i'm going to fall every time i walk, so i have to walk very slowly to get anywhere. I went to a doctor who has ordered a CT scan (my neck/spine x-rays were normal). I am wondering if this could've been a pinched nerve that was aggravated by the heat and massage? Would this type of issue be treatable? I am scared of this loss of balance being permanent since I find it really difficult to walk. I've been applying ice now to my neck instead of heat which seems to be helping the neck issue. Thanks for your help!
