Hi,
Spine surgery may solve your problem. Because of the accident that you have had, the injury or dislocation of the vertebral column may be causing compression of the spinal nerves leading to the symptoms of loss of balance and numbness. Decompression of nerves may relieve the symptoms.  Please consult a neurosurgeon or spine surgeon for the examination, diagnosis and treatment. Hope this helps you. Take care and regards!
