Case study 118 | Bow Hunter’s Syndrome explained by Dr. Betsy Grunch

Case study 118 - Bow Hunter syndrome Do you get dizzy, feel vertigo, or notice tingling when you turn your head or neck a certain way? You could have bow hunter’s syndrome, or rotational vertebral artery occlusion, as it’s officially known. It takes its name from the way a hunter turns their head to aim a bow and arrow. The most common cause is a bone spur on the vertebrae in your neck. These mostly result from wear and tear over time. When you move your head a certain way, it pinches the artery shut. You might get symptoms if you have a narrowed artery or poorly formed blood vessel in your neck.
