I had terrible vertigo caused by the DDD in my neck. This was prior to having multiple surgeries on my neck. I went to the Balance Center and had a bunch of tests done and I also saw an ear nose and throat specialist. Neither place could discover the cause of my vertigo. It wasn't until after I had surgery on my neck that the really bad vertigo went away. I still have dizziness but, it's manageable. (If you have a balance center in your city you could go and have those tests done.)
I have not heard about vertigo from the lumbar spine.
My point of telling you this is that no doctor could explain my vertigo at the time. I am of the opinion that there is a lot that doctors do not know about the spine. There is also much they don't know about the symptoms caused by toxins building up in the body.
Vertigo can be caused by many things including the ears and the eyes. In my case, the doctors did not figure it out but, once the surgeon took the pressure off my spinal cord, I got better.
Best of luck to you. I'm so sorry you are experiencing this problem
