Anyone who's had Cervical spinal compression surgery?

@cmzollinger - Welcome to Mayo Connect. I had a similar procedure done in Feb 2023 and, I too, have some residual dizziness. Maybe yours is related to the "normal" recovery process? My physiotherapist gave me some exercises and some simple orthotics that help retrain the brain - needed due to the cervical work. I'm not fully satisfied with my progress but I'll trade some periodic dizziness for my "prior to surgery" problems.

Have you tried any specialty treatments related to your dizziness?

I have had 2 full rounds of physical therapy a d some specific for vestibular retraining. It's been a year and half but no progress yet.
