What should you do if you’re dealing with neck pain and vestibular migraine—or another vestibular disorder.

Remember: vestibular migraine can be the cause of neck pain itself without anything being wrong with the neck.

The first thing is to identify where the pain is coming from so you can take the proper actions to manage the pain, but there are 3 key areas you want to consider.

In this episode, we’ll dig into:

It is completely normal to not actually want to move your neck because that typically makes you feel more dizzy. And… it’s going to help you so much more in the long run if you welcome movement back into your neck. 
Start slowly, consider joining us in VGF, and know that you’re doing a great job even by listening to a podcast episode like this!

PPPD (AKA: persistent postural perceptual dizziness) is a chronic form of dizziness which is very manageable. But everyone wants to know “is there a cure for PPPD?” 

To get to that answer, we’ve got to go all the way back to the beginning to uncover why PPPD is happening in the first place. Because PPPD is always caused by another underlying diagnosis.

It’s both under and overly diagnosed—and this episode is built to be a resource for you. So you can finally feel empowered to understand what’s going on and what to do about it next.

In this episode, we’ll dig into:

You do not need to be dizzy everyday for the rest of your life. PPPD is treatable, but you need a treatment plan that works for you. 

A great place to start is VGF! Support, education, and community—all of that plus more resources than you can imagine are waiting for you in Vestibular Group Fit.

We’ve gone into detail about central disorders vs peripheral disorders and how the vestibular system works. Today, you’re in for more of a deep dive on how the vestibular system functions with its other two systems.

Surprise! It isn’t working all by itself. So who is it partnering with and how do they work with each other to help you navigate the world? Tune in to find out!

In this episode, we’ll dig into:

All 3 of these systems need to work together in order for us to stay upright and comfortable.

If you’re looking for support and it sounds like a fit, we’d love to have you join us inside Vestibular Group Fit (remember, it’s 30% off this week only)! This is a place where you can safely reintegrate these systems of balance to work together again.

We’re talking about supplements for migraine—there are a lot of different ones!

And just because something works for someone else doesn’t necessarily mean it will also work for you.

Sometimes these supplements don’t work for people at all. And other times they work really well—even better than some medications.

As with all things migraine management, it’s very person dependent. 

In this episode, we’ll dig into:

Dr. Jenna Green joins me, Dr. Madison Oak, for this episode all about vestibular rehab therapy (VRT)! If you don’t know, Dr. Jenna is my work wife inside Vestibular Group Fit.

One thing you’ll hear us stress is that you can be not ready for VRT. We’ve both (kindly) kicked people out of therapy before because it wasn’t the best option for them at that time.

There’s a lot we unearth not just about what VRT actually looks like, but also how to find the best setting and physical therapist for your treatment.

In this episode, we’ll dig into:

Sometimes TIME is the most proactive thing you can do for your body, to regulate your system.

There is a huge upside to telehealth VRT, so don’t worry if you don’t have a trained PT in your area. You have options!

Most vestibular PTs are kind and highly empathetic people. They want to know if you’re feeling a certain way about your exercises. For the best benefit to you, VRT needs to be a collaborative experience. 

If you have any other questions about vestibular rehab therapy—what VRT is, the types of exercises prescribed in VRT, or if Vestibular Group Fit is right for you—DM us! You’ve got our contact info below.

People constantly ask me what the difference is between PPPD and vestibular migraine. It can be very difficult to distinguish between the two—and that can be really frustrating.

And it is possible, with a little information and guidance, to figure out which you may be dealing with.

In this episode, we’ll dig into:

What I want you to know is that both of these are treatable and get better.

A comprehensive treatment plan is the best approach no matter if you’re dealing with PPPD or vestibular migraine. 

If you need help with this, it’s exactly what we do inside VGF (use code GROUNDED at checkout)!

Every single vestibular disorder has the exact same set of symptoms, so that makes it challenging to know what you’re dealing with and what to do about it. Today we’re talking specifically about the differences between vestibular migraine and Meniere’s disease.

Quick example: while Meniere’s disease and vestibular migraine can both cause room spinning vertigo, how they look in practice is wildly different. 

Tune in to learn how to spot the differences between the two, which disorder is more rare, and what treatment options are available for Meniere’s disease and vestibular migraine.

In this episode, we’ll dig into:

Whether you have Meniere’s disease, vestibular migraine, or both, the truth is that they are incredibly disruptive to your life. And while both can be frustrating diagnoses to treat—they are both treatable. Having the right treatment plan and healthcare providers will make a big difference in your life.

Feeling safe in movements and exercises (like pilates or yoga) can seem like a tall order when you have vestibular migraine or dizziness. But it’s not hopeless!

Many people think that group is just about strength training or doing super intense workouts that they could “never do,” but that’s not the case. Inside Vestibular Group Fit, we offer lots of different classes! Pilates and yoga are two of them.

In this episode, Dr. Madison interviews VGFit’s in-house yoga and pilates instructor, Candy Price. 

In Candy’s previous episode on the podcast, the conversation was focused on yoga (definitely go listen to that one!). This time around, the conversation explored all things pilates and dizziness disorders. 

In this episode, we’ll dig into:

Confidence and trust in your body is something that people with dizziness disorders feel like they lose or have a hard time building back up. Exercising in a way that you enjoy is the #1 way that you can do that. 

If you’re struggling with your vestibular disorder—whether it’s a newer diagnosis or you’ve been looking for solutions for years—VGFit is here for you. We’ve curated the best instructors, class styles, and so much more to get back to feeling good and secure in your body.
