Is anyone seeing a PT for headache & dizziness?

Posted by mikayla @mikaylar, 3 days ago

I just started seeing a vestibular PT for my headache and dizziness. She believes my constant headache is from my eyes and the dizziness is from my ears. She treated some vertigo and is now treating my eyes. Next week I will see an additional therapist who will deal with the vision part of it and the first one will treat my dizziness, I guess. The eye exercises are brutal but she says she has to re-train my eyes. Can anyone relate to this? I also have glaucoma, dry eye and macular degeneration. Welcome to the Golden Years!

Have you seen a neurologist that specializes in headaches?
My primary doctor sent me to PT for my chronic migraine but it didn’t work so he referred me to a migraine specialist.
I get Botox 4 times per year. It took a year to help and then only helped for a year. My last injections were placed in my neck and that helped for 2 months but this past month has been bad and I’m looking forward to my next injections next week.
I hope they can help you, I deal with migraine 24/7 and it sucks!

I had a neurologist that recommended a head and neck physical therapist for my migraines. It was awesome. They massage your neck and head and give you stretching exercises for you to do at home. I would highly recommend it. Jim

Oh yes. been through it all - 6 blood patches in my spine, spinal taps, Botox, many nerve blocks, vagus nerve stimulators, on and on. Been to the best hospitals in Philadelphia, including the Jefferson Headache Center. Headache 6 yrs every day/all day. So, I'm hoping this eye and ear therapist can help.

Keep me informed, I live with a 24/7 migraine. When Botox works I am a 7 pain but when it don’t I live with 10 pain plus Tinnitus along with it.

I had that too but didn’t work.
I have damage due to stage IV cancer treatments.
The message worked for 25-30 minutes and then back to 10 pain.
They didn’t want to continue taking my money and not get results.
