How To Know If Your Dizziness Is Neck Related?
As an executive mum juggling a high-stress job and managing a busy household, the last thing you need is unexpected dizziness disrupting your day. There are many causes of dizziness but did you know that dizziness can sometimes be connected to neck issues? This condition, known as cervicogenic dizziness, can be particularly troublesome for women who already deal with neck and back pain due to long hours of sitting, high stress, and multitasking. Understanding whether your dizziness is related to your neck can help you take the right steps to manage it and prevent it from affecting your performance at work and your time with your children. In this blog, lets discuss how to know if your dizziness is originating in your cervical spine.

Cervicogenic dizziness refers to a type of dizziness that originates from issues in the neck, often due to poor posturemuscle tension, or cervical spine problems. This condition can create a feeling of imbalance or unsteadiness, sometimes accompanied by neck pain, stiffness, nausea or headaches. For executive mums who spend long hours at a desk, using smartphones, or constantly on the go, maintaining proper neck posture is essential but often overlooked.

Here are some signs that indicate that your dizziness may be originating in the cervical spine: 
Neck Pain and Stiffness: If your dizziness is accompanied by persistent neck pain or tightness, this could indicate that the source of your dizziness is cervicogenic. Pay attention to whether your dizziness intensifies after periods of poor posture, like working at your desk or after a stressful day.

Associated Headaches: Cervicogenic dizziness often comes hand-in-hand with headaches. If you frequently experience headaches at the base of your skull or radiating from your neck, your dizziness may be linked to cervical spine issues.

Relief with Neck Treatments: If your dizziness improves with neck treatments like gentle stretching, hot packs, cold packs, massage, or posture correction exercises, this could be a strong indicator that your dizziness is cervicogenic in nature.

Dizziness can be debilitating, making it difficult to concentrate, work efficiently, or manage household responsibilities. Understanding whether your dizziness is neck-related can help you focus on the right interventions, such as improving your posture, engaging in targeted exercises, ergonomic work setups, taking breaks from long hours at a desk

MEET SWATI

 
Hi there! 
I am Swati, an Executive Mum Power Coach and a Certified Posture Expert. I use my proven system to help mums of younger kids working in high-stress executive jobs manage their back, neck, and nerve pains, despite low energy levels and brain fog. I do all this without taking away a big chunk of their time out of their already busy day. This enables them to be more productive and capable professionals at work and guilt-free mums who can focus on their kids instead of always being distracted by pain. 



My passion for helping executive mums stems from my own experiences. I have been in the same boat and understand the frustration and helplessness of being in constant pain or being afraid to engage in activities due to the fear of pain. After two pregnancies in the span of three years and juggling my two kids, housework, and a demanding job, I was constantly in pain. The weight gain from motherhood added extra stress to my already overburdened spine and joints. I was stuck in a vicious cycle of weight loss and spinal/nerve pain that I just couldn’t break free from.

On top of the physical pain, I also suffered from adrenal fatigue. I often felt exhausted, waking up groggy even after a full night’s (10 to 12 plus hours!) sleep, and struggled with low energy levels and brain fog. Simple tasks became challenging, and I found myself forgetting things and unable to think clearly. It was incredibly frustrating and made it even harder to balance my professional responsibilities and family life.

My work involved long hours of standing during the day, prolonged hours on the laptop in the evening, and lots of running around and rocking my kids to sleep in between. Despite my knowledge and expertise in pain relief, I still found myself unable to escape the constant daily pain and fatigue.

Sitting at a desk job from 9 to 5, or longer, plus endless meetings that seem to go on forever. The frequent traveling, the uncomfortable hotel pillows that make it impossible to get a good night’s sleep—I’ve experienced it all. I remember not being able to share my discomfort at work because I felt like an imposter, talking about pain relief strategies and focusing on work while I was not able to achieve it myself. I didn’t disclose the extent of my pain and forgetfulness to my colleagues for years. Even though I loved my kids and my job, I couldn’t give 100% to either. The discomfort held me back from reaching my full potential, making me feel guilty as a mum and less productive at work. I felt like I was constantly running on empty, unable to catch a break from the pain and exhaustion.

finally got fed up after years of trying and decided to make a New Year’s resolution to get ‘healthy’ instead of focusing solely on my pain, fatigue, forgetfulness, and weight loss. When I shifted my focus to getting healthier by reducing the inflammation in my body and addressing my adrenal fatigue, the pain started to decrease, my energy levels and focus improved, and the pounds started shedding off too! That, of course, meant a happier spine, nerves, joints, and a happier me! Today, my neck, back, and nerve pain are down to zero, my knee pain has reduced by 75%, my brain fog has reduced drastically and my energy levels are higher than ever. I realized that I had been focusing on the wrong solutions for over a decade!

Now, my mission is to share my knowledge of pain relief and managing adrenal fatigue along with my personal experience with other mums, especially those with younger kids who work in high-stress executive jobs. My goal is to help you find lasting relief, boost your energy, and reclaim your life, just as I did. 

If you can relate to all this, you are not alone. As a mum, I have been there and done that—momma, I got you! I’ve helped hundreds of mums in this situation over the years find their solution to manage spinal and joint pains, low energy levels, and brain fog that hold them back. This enables them to feel confidently in control and empowers them to cultivate that confidence and productivity at work and enjoy being with their kids, to be able to run around with them without the fear of injury or pain.

Are you ready for this journey? Ask me how if you are curious.

Let's DO THIS!
