While it can be uncomfortable and disruptive, cervicogenic dizziness is typically not life-threatening. However, it can affect quality of life and should be addressed with appropriate treatment to manage symptoms effectively.

Avoid rapid or extensive neck movements, sitting or standing in poor postures for extended periods, and activities that strain the neck until a healthcare professional advises otherwise.
