You’ve probably never heard of vestibular migraine, even if you are someone who deals with frequent dizziness, light and sound sensitivity, and the occasional headache.

Vestibular migraine is one of the most common causes of recurrent dizziness, but it’s often misdiagnosed. It affects about 3% of the population, affecting women 1.5 to 5 times more than men.

The key features of vestibular migraine include:
🌀 dizziness or vertigo lasting 5 minutes to 72 hours
🌀 light and/or sound sensitivity
🌀 a current or past history of migraine

The best way to treat vestibular migraine is through a multi-pronged approach including the appropriate medication, lifestyle changes, and physiotherapy.

Here’s how physio can help:
🌀 vestibular rehabilitation with certified vestibular therapists
🌀 sensory reweighting to improve improve tolerance to motion as well as visually rich and stimulating environments
🌀 neck and postural work through manual therapy and exercise
🌀 education and pacing strategies

Did you know the vestibular system is more than just a balance organ? The information the vestibular system collects is widely distributed throughout the brain and used in a tonne of processes!

A few areas the vestibular system had major roles in include:

🌀THE AUTONOMIC SYSTEM: aka all those things your body does automatically for you. Think blood pressure, breathing rate, digestion…
🌀 HIGHER LEVEL COGNITIVE PROCESSES: for instance, spatial navigation, learning, attention and memory
🌀 PERCEPTUAL AND MOTOR DECISION MAKING: for instance, when driving a car you need to use your sense to make good choices about when to go and when to stop
🌀 MENTAL IMAGERY AND MENTAL ROTATION: being able to visualize a space and objects. For instance, will that suitcase fit in the overhead bin?

For more, check out Dr Frank and Dr Greenlee’s publication “The parieto-insular vestibular cortex in humans: more than a single area?” from the Journal of Neurophysiology, published in 2018.

Happy learning!

We get this question a lot: “But don’t I need a referral from my doc before I can see you?”

The answer: NO!

In BC, physiotherapists are direct access meaning you don’t need a doctor’s referral to see us!

This means that’s if you’re dealing with:
🔹 joint or muscle pain
🔹 dizziness
🔹 pelvic floor concerns
🔹 TMD
🔹 hypermobility
🔹 problems after a concussion
Or anything in between, we can help!

Pain in your jaw? Dealing with clicking and locking? Is it difficult to chew?

You may have TMD, also known as temporomandibular disorder - a common problem involving the muscles, joint and nerves of the jaw.

Physio and massage are great tools for TMD. We can help by:
🔹 improving jaw joint mobility
🔹 releasing tight muscles
🔹 correcting posture issues
🔹 guiding gentle, safe movement & supportive habits

Using the right approach including manual therapy and exercise, people often report significantly less pain and more movement within weeks of starting treatment.

If you’re looking treatment for a painful jaw, give us a call at (778) 630-8800

Want to know what scares me? Osteoporosis.

Strong bones = more than just calcium & sunlight — your workouts matter!
Try adding:
• Squats / deadlifts / lunges (resistance training)
• Jumping, stair climbing, dancing (impact weight-bearing)
• Balance and stability work (fall prevention)
Aim for ~2-3 resistance sessions/week + 30-min weight-bearing most days.
Your bones will thank you — literally.

If you are not sure where to begin a bone-healthy strengthening program we have two fabulous Kinesiologists who can get you well on your way!

Phone 778-630-8800 or email clinic@ladnervillagephysio.com to book your appointment.

TRUE OR FALSE: dizziness always comes from your inner ear.

The answer:

🌀🌀🌀🌀🌀

FALSE!

Dizziness can come from several sources! While a major source of dizziness and vertigo is the inner ear, symptoms can also originate from:

🌀 medications
🌀 the neck
🌀 low blood pressure
🌀 (and possibly the biggest one of all!) migraine

If you’re frequently dizzy, a vestibular assessment can help figure out the source and get you back on the road to a dizzy free life!
