Hi, I have a pt that experienced vertigo s/s 12 hours after being dry needled in cervical spine. Did some repositioning that seemed to help with the vertigo s/s and nausea. Any other clinical advice on this? how long could it last? is it likely from the dry needling or just a coincidence?
Jennifer- while it would not be impossible to have symptoms that far out, I would say egotism 12 hours after. Would be rare. But…. certainly possible. We really are not sure how long different checmical changes occur so I would hesitate to say it is coincidence. Local, systemic and segmena effects are all right there, so needling the neck can be powerful.
It should be a very transient symptom though and should be cleared up by now. How is the patient doing? I would be cautious moving forward.
Hi, pt is good now. Vertigo s/s were mostly gone after I did repositioning, and by 24 hr post DN time she had no more s/s of vertigo. Did report her neck felt better, so that’s a plus.
