Why do I walk crookedly to one side?

Normally, everyone can walk in a straight line, but some people always lean to one side when they walk. Not only does this make them feel uncomfortable, it also causes trouble to other pedestrians on the road. If there are many vehicles on the road, they may even be hit. Therefore, if you always lean to one side when walking, you need to pay attention to it. Many medical conditions can cause this condition and require prompt treatment. So, what is the reason for walking sideways?

1. It may be caused by cervical spondylosis compressing blood vessels and nerves, or it may be caused by labyrinthine edema. For the current situation, you should go to a regular hospital for examination as soon as possible, find out the cause, and receive regular treatment under the guidance of a doctor. You should lead a regular life, avoid strenuous exercise, eat a light diet, eat more vegetables and fruits, and do not smoke or drink.

2. When you walk, you feel like you are leaning to one side, which means you are walking unsteadily. You may need to pay attention to this and consider checking whether you have lumbar disc herniation, cervical spondylosis, or any abnormality in the brain. You can go to the neurology department for a check-up first. Also, pay attention to whether you have limb numbness, or a feeling of walking on cotton.

3. It is necessary to rule out the possibility of other neurological diseases, so a cranial MRI examination is needed. It is also necessary to rule out some other diseases and the possibility of other meningitis.

4. It may be a case of cerebellar ataxia. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a head CT scan. Generally speaking, this is a hereditary disease and there is no particularly good treatment. You can usually use some nerve nourishing drugs to improve it, such as GABA and vitamin B1.

5. Caused by cervical spondylosis. When cervical spondylosis causes compression of the vertebral artery and insufficient blood supply to the brain, dizziness occurs. Some patients may also experience unsteady walking and leaning to one side. A cervical CT scan can be done to check the condition of the cervical spine. Targeted treatment will follow. You can have traditional Chinese medicine massage and bone setting to relax the neck muscles, relieve neck muscle stiffness and pain, and then use manual bone setting to correct diseased vertebrae. Pay attention to keeping your neck warm, do not bow your head for too long, do not use a pillow that is too high, and do more exercise, such as flying kites, swimming, and playing badminton.
