Vestibular migraines are a type of migraine headache that involves vertigo or dizziness as a prominent symptom, along with other typical migraine features such as headache pain, sensitivity to light and sound, and nausea. In holistic medicine, the treatment of vestibular migraines often involves addressing various aspects of the individual’s health and lifestyle to reduce the frequency and severity of symptoms. Dr. Randall Gates, D.C., Board Certified Chiropractic Neurologist, focuses on identifying and eliminating triggers that contribute to migraines, such as certain foods, stress, hormonal fluctuations, or environmental factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to treatment that addresses the physical, emotional, and environmental factors influencing migraine symptoms, holistic medicine aims to provide long-term relief and improve overall well-being for individuals living with vestibular migraines.
Frequently in our experience, there is an autoimmune thyroid or celiac disease component to vestibular migraines. From a functional medicine perspective, the goal is to help the immune system regulate itself better so blood flow can increase to the brain.
Here at Gates Brain Health, we use state of the art videonystagmography (VNG) testing. VNG testing allows for Dr. Gates to see what is really going on in a patient’s brain. This is especially helpful for people with vestibular migraines, as this allows Dr. Gates’ to functionally test the health of the cerebellum so we can execute the most comprehensive plan to treat you or your loved one.
