Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo
BPPV can be caused by head and neck problems as well as by inner ear issues. The Dix-Hallpike test is used to determine whether the issue is coming from the ear canal. This test can help determine the form treatment should take.
Exercise and Alignment are offered to relieve the discomfort caused by BPPV. The dizziness may affect you when lying down, sitting up, or when standing. The treatment offered by our Physical Therapy staff can bring enormous relief to anyone suffering from BPPV. Another form of treatment for BPPV is Acupuncture.
