My son has Isthmic Spondylolisthesis.  He also suffers from vertigo and dizzy spells.  Hes had a lot ot testing to ensure there isnt any underlying condition causing the vertigo/dizziness.  Weve never put it together until recently...when I read that spondylol can cause vertigo.  Is this true?
Hi, thank you for posting. I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns. It is true that Islamic Spondylolisthesis can cause dizziness. This condition causes neck muscular spasm. In patients with Islamic Spondylolisthesis blood flow to the brain base is low due to muscular spasm, and this is the reason why patients have dizziness. The treatment of this condition contains painkillers and muscle relaxant medications. A neck X-ray, a complete blood count and a urine test are necessary in order to check the condition of the patient. If the condition is aggravated non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications are necessary. Chiropractic procedures can also help. You should contact a neurologist to discuss the treatment. All the best.
