What can be done for degenerative disc?i It is causing dizziness

HI - have you tried the medication, Nurtec? It's an antihistamine (prescription only) but sometimes the dizziness could be from a migraine headache. I suffered from vertigo for a long time and was finally helped somewhat when the vertigo specialist (ENT-neurologist) recommended I try this. I'm also trying chiropractic services which seems to be helping even more than Nurtec. I've discontinued the Nurtec now for awhile.

@pat80 I see a physical therapist, but I never considered a chiropractic for my lower back degenerative disc disease. Could you talk more about what this involves? Does your chiropractor do manipulations? Did he take back x-rays or use the ones your radiologist originally took?

I've been to other chiropractors in the past years and this is the first one who has been as thorough. For the first visit he did an EMG (thermal)scan to help detect patterns of vertebral subluxation.This measured skin temperatures along the spine in an effort to find nervous system disturbances that might be affecting other vital organs. It also measured muscle tone. I received a color coded printout of the various areas of my spine that showed muscle weakness and abnormal tension, and areas that probably was causing tension. This gave him direction as to where to focus. After about 4-5 sessions, he did another scan which showed progress in a variety of areas. Yes, he does manipulation but started off with low manipulation and is now moving into more aggressive manipulation as he has learned what I can tolerate and progress that has been made. Along the way, he has given me various tips related to posture, walking (imaging my head attached to the ceiling) and how to carry my heavy handbag. He also has various pain medicines and nutritional items for sale but there is absolutely no pressure to buy. I had previously had x-rays of my back by my radiologist as well as my primary care physician and each of them recommended a pain doctor from whom I had a back ablation. The ablation did not help the pain. I'd also seen several physical therapists with minimal success that really didn't last very long. This chiropractor spends the time explaining to me what he is doing and why it might help. I understand the many pain doctors are certified in anesthesiology and often are not especially skilled in patient interpersonal relationships, i.e. communication. That's one of the reasons I appreciate this chiropractor as he explains what he is doing and why it might help.
