    Re: Balance issues still unresolved 3 years down the line

    hi Alan31,

    Given all the above, and having seen and successfully treated people like yourself, i still reckon the neck is more consistent with your condition than an ear problem. And because the effects [of treatment to the neck] are short-lived, i think that something else is causing the pressure on the neck - possibly the thorax. That is my honest opinion but it is only that - my opinion without having examined you . If i am wrong, that's cool...so long as no harm comes to you

    There are people who specialise in balance issues. I am here in Sydney and i think there are a small handful of physios that ENTs refer to.

    My ENT friend is here in Sydney and i know that he loves this stuff...i know that he could confirm if it is from the balance apparatus etc. I will ask him if there is an ENT in Townsville etc that he trusts. He is pretty connected.

    By all means, MrPhysio+ and DrDamien all make good points. In the end, you will find out what is working and what isn't.

    So again, find someone who is happy to to find the real cause of your problems and give you longer lasting relief and control of your neck and whatever is driving the neck problem (IMHO) Cheers!

    [B]My Philosophy:[/B]
    The goal of physiotherapy is to restore optimum function - that is to move freely and maintain positions without causing damage either now or in the future. This requires the assessment and restoration of efficient load transfer throughout the whole body.
