I find using my neck traction brace, the one used for neck surgery helpful for the pain. The dizziness could be due to multiple issues. Medication is the most typical culprit followed by fatigue, diet, and possibly pinched nerves. Physical therapy, posture and behavior modification and a change in type of pillow as well as how you use the pillow are the best remedies. Surgery is the worst and rarely, if ever, helpful. I have extensive cervical spine damage and have spent over a decade researching and consultations with several surgeons and doctors what to do about it. Best of luck to you Maria. 😌🙏

Hey there, I didn’t want to scroll past and not comment….. I’m into my 5th week of unbearable neck pain and headaches. I’m awaiting the results of an X-ray to rule out anything like another bout of spondylolisthesis. I definitely require an MRI of the neck which is nearly impossible under our healthcare system. Once I know that it’s safe to do so, I’m going to invest in a neck traction (please see @A MySpondylitisTeam Member post re neck pain and all that she is doing to avoid going into surgery)
I just wanted to give you gentle hugs and let you know that you are not alone. Hopefully both of us can get some more answers 🫂
Thank you everyone. It isn’t medication induced. Doesn’t happen in the car turning my head.
It’s associated more with walking and head turning.
I have a herniated disc at c5-c6.
But I also have a problem with my Atlas - c1. And probably c2, the axis.
I have had special x-rays of my neck to check for my atlas and axis.
To manage neck pain and dizziness associated with ankylosing spondylitis, consider the following strategies:
- Home Remedies:
- Heat Therapy: Use an electric heating pad, hot water compress, or microwavable heating pad. A warm bath or shower can also help. Ensure not to overheat compresses or use water that is too hot.
