Effective vestibular care goes beyond masking symptoms with medication, focusing instead on identifying and addressing root causes of issues like vertigo, which is a symptom rather than a diagnosis. Potential underlying causes include dietary imbalances, hormonal shifts, mental health challenges, or environmental factors such as toxins or allergens. A multidisciplinary approach—combining medical treatment with holistic strategies like nutritional adjustments, stress management, and lifestyle modifications—can lead to more sustainable wellness. Empowering patients through self-advocacy and education encourages active participation in their care, promoting long-term vestibular health and improved quality of life.
In this video we talk about blast wave injuries, and the vestibular injury that results from near- or far- exposure to explosives. Whether due to an isolated act of terrorism or an ongoing regional conflict, the impact of explosives is severe. Speaker: Dr. Konstantin Trinus is a distinguished medical professional from Kyiv, Ukraine specializing in neuro-otology. Dr. Trinus has conducted extensive research into the vestibular consequences of blast wave injuries in Ukraine. His studies have identified a significant prevalence of vestibular disturbances in individuals exposed to blast trauma, including symptoms such as dizziness, and vertigo. His work emphasizes the need for comprehensive vestibular assessment and rehab strategies for individuals affected by blast-induced mild traumatic brain injuries.
In this episode of the ICU - "I See You" podcast, hosts and guests discuss complementary and alternative approaches to supporting your wellness as a person with vestibular dysfunction. If you’re like most people, when you aren’t feeling well you go to see your medical doctor, and hopefully they, in conjunction with other members of your healthcare team, create a treatment plan based on conventional medical practices. What many people don’t know is that when you support your overall wellness using complementary and alternative modalities, you are physically and mentally better able to cope with everyday stressors, and often respond better to conventional treatments.
