Q: Back pain and dizziness
asked by: iwolfman1 on January 11th, 2008

my daughter has been having back pain & dizziness for the past couple of hours. They coincide w/ each other. She has been eating well & still has an appetite. We took her to a dr on ft leonard wood (mo) last week and they did an xray on her spine but they have not gotten back w/ us. She was pushed off of our trampoline about a year or so ago, and hit her back on a rock, but seemed fine at the time and had normal mobility and no tingling in her extremities or numbness. She is currently taking concerta for ADHD. Please help us out as it takes weeks to get an appointment and then might not be the same dr. ER is like a 6-9 hr wait if you're not dying or missing body parts as the BCT pvt.'s have that place packed. thanks

Hello Iwolfman,

Welcome to this forum and the great people here who post and try to help one another.

I am not a doctor, however, the back pain WITH the dizziness concerns me as I know it concerns you.

Is it possible for her to see a neurologist/spinal surgeon in the private sector. I hope so.

Do let us know how things go for your daughter.

With due respect Expatient, she needs to seek the advice of a neurologist/spinal surgeon, not a osteopathian as you suggest.

That is just your opinion. You can be wrong...

Osteopathians release neural pressures by opening joint locks and as a result neural functions improve. They also release tight muscles.

Pain is due nervous signals. Usually tight muscles cause it. Also dizzyness is many times due tight muscles in neck and they can compress blood vessels and prevent blood circulation to brain.

So why would she need spinal surgeon if there is nothing wrong in her spine, at least not yet found anything?

I visited two neurologist and they didn't find the cause for my problems. They had no idea. Even if the cause was obvious: misaligned pelvis and because of that a scoliosis, asymmetry in the whole body posture and tight muscles all over my back and neck. Once balance was returned my chronic dizzynes, back pains, headaches, migraines, etc. are history.
