If you’ve been diagnosed with vestibular migraine—or you live with ongoing dizziness, vertigo, or that constant “on a ship” feeling—there may be an important part of the picture that hasn’t been fully evaluated.
In this episode of The Headache Doctor Podcast, Dr. Taves explains why our healthcare system can miss the underlying cause of vestibular migraine—and what to look for instead.
He breaks down the three systems your brain relies on for balance and orientation:
The visual system
The vestibular system
The neck and proprioceptive system
While the inner ear is often evaluated thoroughly, and vision is sometimes considered, Dr. Taves explains why neck function is frequently overlooked—even though your brain depends on information from the neck to understand where your head and body are in space.
You’ll also learn:
How BPPV differs from other types of dizziness
Why visual coordination matters
How neck tension and altered proprioception may contribute to dizziness
Why vestibular migraine is often multifactorial
What to look for when testing has not given you a clear answer
Plus, in Ask the Headache Doctor, Dr. Taves answers questions about food triggers and migraine threshold, and explains how Novera’s neck treatment approach differs from chiropractic manipulation.
