For those of you with vestibular migraine here is some new research that states fish oils and in particular omega-3's can help decrease migraine frequency and severity.

When there is a mismatch between our balance senses (vision, inner ear and body position sense), highly demanding visual environments can make you feel worse, i.e. the supermarket.

If you feel increased dizziness in busy visual environments let us know... vestibular physiotherapy can help.

Visually Induced Dizziness, or Supermarket Syndrome, is an umbrella term for vestibular symptoms which are triggered by visual stimulation.
