Dear sir

One morning I got up and  saw room is spinning. I consulted and went for X-ray the result shows

large marginal osteophyte formation from lower cervical vertebra.

Kindly suggest treatment, remedy, exercises,suggestions.

The problem of spinning occures specially I sleep on bed or just got up from bed.

warm regards

Hi, you can use heating pad at home and get physiotherapy done which includes neck extension exercises along with neck traction. Please visit following website

“Lifestyle modifications (e.g., neck schools, instruction in body mechanics, relaxation techniques, postural awareness, and ergonomics and/or workplace modifications) may alleviate symptoms.

Hi, this could be due to cervical spondylosis or vestibulopathy.  Cervical spondylosis, osteophytes or spurs are bony growths which impinge upon related nerve and give symptoms of pain and tingles in hand. Compression of spine could lead to leg weakness too. It is degenerative disease which now a days begin in young age. Treatment includes pain killers, cervical collar, physiotherapy, hot compression etc. Please don’t worry, as this progress slowly over 10-20 years and most of the population is suffering from it.
