How to beat vestibular migraines by changing your brain (applies to PPPD and VM)

Published 2022-02-20
In this video, I talk about why we should be addressing ALL vestibular migraines (with or without PPPD) with a biopsychosocial approach, and by doing that, how we can much more effectively treat and prevent them. I talk about the specific treatment protocols I use and give suggestions on how to use the free Healing Chronic Dizziness course if you have vestibular migraines.

    I want to say that you are God sent. I have been suffering with daily dizziness and headaches that caused my anxiety and depression for years. The doctors diaGnosed me with Ménière’s disease and have vestibular therapy, but nothing has helped until I accidentally came across your YouTube’s. Thank you so much!

    I’ve unfortunately dealt with VM and chronic pain or something of that nature for over 15 years. I’ve done a lot of self study trying to figure out what I’m dealing with and this by far is the best breakdown I’ve ever seen. Thank you for providing this info!

    I really love your distinction about self-care, as I’m a mental health therapist and feel that this is usually misunderstood when people come into my office as well. I’ve been dealing with what they believe to be vestibular migraines or possibly PPPD proceeded by a peripheral vestibular disorder. It has definitely challenged my anxiety and stress levels, and I already was predisposed to anxiety and panic disorder prior to this. Your channel has been so incredibly educational and helpful in understanding how to treat these issues.

    for 7 years I have believed my daily dizziness was vestibular migraine (diagnosed by an ENT). I became hopeless to fix it. You have restored my hope and I am so thankful to you Dr. Arthur!!
  • @avamihalik7531
    Could not have been said better!!! Thank God there are SOME practitioners out there who understand this and it's not in our minds it's in our brains! We need to address the root cause and finally, we are unlearning the traditional medical model and going for a more comprehensive brain/body connection viewpoint. Bravo to you my dear! xoxo A
  • I’ve seen some incredible doctors and knowledgeable professionals dealing with MDDS and Vestibular Migraines and there’s no doubt you’re the best on youtube. Incredible resources
  • @gemmar.1646
    Very very good video. Looking at the psychosocial causes as well. In this I fully agree. Happy to have found you!
  • @lesleynapier9537
    A very informative and comprehensive video. I am slowly beginning to understand the mechanisms of this condition. Thank you.
  • All of this is so great Dr. Yo! One thing that triggers my VM and symptoms to a great deal is WEATHER CHANGES (specifically drops in barometric pressure and high heat.) My body just powers through any bio-psycho social elements I have been working on/through and I get triggered with all the symptoms. I have considered moving somewhere the weather is more consistent. I have heard you say you don't have many patients in FL where you live and I do believe that a LOT of people with VM are triggered by changes in weather which FL has seasonally but generally is consistent. Just wanted to share the weather trigger and see if anyone else can share their experiences. Thanks for all you do!
  • @TheJohnmusk
    I've always described my migraines as a "bio-chemical" process. Its nice to see you start off with that.
  • I'm so happy to have found your channel and I will be exploring all of your videos. I used an app a few years ago designed for chronic pain to help with my dizziness, and just replaced the word "pain" with "symptoms" and it really helped me. This just explains how and why it ended up working for me as well as it did. Thank you for creating this content, I look forward to learning more.
  • Also weather changes big trigger for me. Do better on clear non windy days. Not sure how to handle weather changes better for vestib migraine issues.
  • @lin395
    This video was brilliant. I have had chronic neck pain plus lots more including dizziness for 40 years. It started with physical cause but now I am sure it is related to high stress and trauma. I am going to keep watching videos and take your course. Love the interviews. So inspiring to hear and I adore the way you support/care for people. Lin PS Can I schedule a private session sometime down the line?
  • @user-hm2ko7pv7j
    Thank you! Wow this is brand new concept to me. Iim a wimp when it comes to medicine so I just suffer. But this is the best information I’ve heard in 30 years! Thank you! I just subscribed to your channel.
  • I think you are spot with your thoughts on Vestibular Migraine Dr. Arthur. You truly do a fantastic job explaining—in simple terms with terrific analogies—what can be complicated concepts. I’m finding that really understanding what is going on goes a long way in retraining the brain, which is in my estimation at the heart of recovery.
