Vertigo (BPPV)

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a common cause of vertigo with certain head movements. Your physiotherapist assesses your symptoms and uses adapted manoeuvres and exercises.

Sudden vertigo with other symptoms (weakness, trouble speaking or seeing) needs urgent medical attention: call 911.

What is it?

The inner ear contains a system that helps you keep your balance. In BPPV, tiny crystals move inside the inner ear and cause brief but intense vertigo when you lie down, roll over in bed or look up.

After positional tests, your physiotherapist can perform repositioning manoeuvres and show you balance and adaptation exercises to do at home.
