In this episode of The Headache Doctor Podcast, Dr. Taves explores the confusing and often frightening world of atypical migraines. Unlike classic migraines—characterized by one-sided throbbing head pain and light or sound sensitivity—atypical migraines show up in unexpected ways, including:
- Visual disturbances and aura
- Numbness, tingling, or weakness
- Stroke-like symptoms such as facial drooping
- Brain fog, dizziness, or fatigue
Dr. Taves explains how the healthcare system typically treats atypical migraines as a “diagnosis of exclusion,” offering only medications to manage symptoms rather than addressing root causes. He emphasizes that many of these unusual migraine presentations stem from problems in the upper neck, which can confuse the brain’s pain-processing pathways and create a wide variety of neurological symptoms.
Listeners will learn why traditional imaging often misses the true problem, how the brain can misinterpret pain signals, and why focusing on neck movement and function can be key to finding lasting relief. Dr. Taves encourages patients not to settle for symptom management but to seek out a framework that addresses the underlying cause of their migraines.
