119. The Difference Between BPPV and Vestibular Migraine

119. The Difference Between BPPV and Vestibular Migraine
People are frequently asking about the difference between BPPV and vestibular migraine (VM), so we’re getting into that on this episode!
Aside from them both causing nystagmus (involuntary eye movement), these are not even a little bit the same thing.
But vestibular migraine can cause nystagmus which can present identically to BPPV—and that can be really confusing for providers and patients alike!
So… let’s explore how you can determine what’s what and what the appropriate treatment options are for each.
In this episode, we’ll dig into:
The difference between BPPV and vestibular migraine
The one similarity between BPPV and vestibular migraine
The role the inner ear crystals play in BPPV
What the Epley maneuver can be used to treat
How vestibular migraine can cause positional vertigo
How to treat BPPV vs vestibular migraine
It’s critical to land on the correct diagnosis in order to know which treatment path to choose. The best way to tell what you’re dealing with is to work with a physical therapist because in science, we find that they're the best people to diagnose.
And remember, it is possible to have more than one vestibular disorder and to not feel dizzy everyday.
