Vestibular migraine is a distinct subtype where the primary symptom isn't pain — it's dizziness, motion intolerance, and imbalance. Many people cycle through years of ENT visits before anyone connects it to migraine physiology.
The mechanism sits at the intersection of the vestibular nuclei, the brainstem, and the cortex. When those circuits are hyper-excitable, ordinary inputs — screens, driving, fluorescent light, head motion — start behaving like threats.
Functional neurology approaches vestibular migraine by mapping which specific inputs the system fails, then retraining those exact pathways. Diet, sleep, and stress are lifestyle levers; targeted rehab is the neurological one.
