This 2.5-hour on-demand course covers the current diagnostic criteria for vestibular migraine and equips vestibular rehabilitation specialists with a structured framework to effectively screen for this disorder. Management topics include protective lifestyle behaviors, pharmaceutical & nutraceutical interventions, physical rehabilitation strategies, and discussion of appropriate referrals for patients with Vestibular Migraine. A case study is included to allow participants to apply the material learned and enhance their clinical decision-making skills.
