What it is
BPPV — benign paroxysmal positional vertigo — is the most common cause of vertigo, and one of the most satisfying things we treat. Tiny crystals in the inner ear drift into the wrong canal, and suddenly rolling over in bed sends the room spinning. The fix is often remarkably fast.
How we treat it
We confirm BPPV with positional testing (the Dix-Hallpike test), identify which canal is affected, and treat it with repositioning maneuvers like the Epley — physically guiding the crystals back where they belong. Many people improve dramatically within one to three sessions. If any residual unsteadiness lingers, brief balance retraining finishes the job.
