Is the Cervical Joint Position Error (JPE) Test accurate? Can it explain why I feel dizzy and off balance all the time? It's the only test I have done in a clinical setting that has confirmed how chronically off balance I am. I will make this short and sweet. Since 2023 I have been dealing with 24/7 dizziness, off balance sensation. Sometimes it manifests as swaying, other times as dropping, pulling, etc. It's never true rotational vertigo. Very often it feels like I am walking on a trampoline. Positive Romberg.I have been passed around by ENT's and neurologists at one of the top hospitals in America. I have had two brain MRI's, and negative VOR/VRG tests of the ears. My brain and ears are normal.Two different neurologists prescribed anti-depressants, claiming that it could be anxiety and a hyperactive nervous system, but it did nothing for my dizziness. I got referred to a physical therapist, and she thinks my dizziness may be coming from my neck.The tests she did:"Deep Neck Flexor Endurance Test: 8 secondsPalpation: hypertonicity of neck musculature"The laser test: "Objective Measures: JPE: Right: 0/3Left: 1/3Flexion: 1/3Extension: 2/3"the left number being number of times I correctly got the target. She didn't say the words "cercivogenic dizziness" but when I got home and did my own research, I came to that conclusion. However, there seems to be little information on the internet about it and many physical therapists/doctors seem to believe it doesn't exist at all. I guess I don't actually have a vestibular issue, but a proprioceptive issue. Do you think it exists? Do you think the laser test I did can point to the upper neck being the cause of the swaying and dropping? I am so desperate to find a cause and work on a cure.

>>77306231Do you have double jointed fingers? Or are you naturally very flexible and have unstable joints? If so yes it might be cervical dizziness, and you might have something called hypermobile ehlers dan los syndrome. Do something called a beighton score test. If positive, its relatively common and benign. Just hit up neck stability exercises with a band and some balance/proptioceptive exercises. You'll be good in a while. Especially since you've already ruled out anything serious with the brain. Also, mental disorders like extreme anxiety and depression are known to cause vertigo and proprioceprive issues due to derealization.
