BPPV/Vertigo

 

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the sensation of dizziness that occurs with a change of head position. BPPV is a common cause of vertigo. Both vertigo and BPPV can lead to someone feeling unsteady, nauseous, dizzy and lightheaded. 

​

Your physical therapist will be able to assist with your symptoms by performing a series of head movements that shift the particles in your ear that are disrupting your equilibrium. Physical therapy for BPPV and vertigo will also include a comprehensive balance program to help reduce the feeling of unsteadiness and possible likelihood of a fall.
