This episode of Osteo Talk is focused on the often challenging presentation of dizziness.

We are joined by Melbourne based osteopath, Beth Yule. Being a chronic headache sufferer herself gave Beth unique insight into the impact headaches can have on a patient’s quality of life. This inspired Beth to focus her professional development on headache, migraine and vestibular disorders.

Beth now passionately and generously shares her expertise with patients, colleagues and the wider osteopathic community. She solely treats those experiencing chronic headaches, migraines and dizziness disorders at Melbourne Headache Solutions, where she is also Team Leader and Junior Partner. She co-authored the book ‘Solving the Migraine Puzzle - A Comprehensive Guide to Migraine Relief’ and has presented webinars and articles for Osteopathy Australia. 

Beth helps us simplify our approach to dizziness presentations and discusses vestibular migraines and vestibular disorders. We talk about:

• what is dizziness;
• the impact dizziness can have on sufferers and why it can be challenging to diagnose and manage;
• red flags to be aware of;
• signs, symptoms, triggers and relieving factors for vestibular migraines and vestibular disorders;
• how to differentiate between a vestibular migraine and vestibular disorder and treatment / management strategies for both; and
• the role of manual therapy.
