Dizziness in spondylosis could be due to problem in spinal cord or blood flow to brain. Additionally, we have to rule out brain related causes. Hence, detailed physical examination followed by appropriate investigations are needed to arrive at diagnosis before starting treatment.
Next Steps
For the treatment or medicines, visit nearest orthopedic surgeon or consult me online.
