Benign Paroxysmal and Positional Vertigo
Specialist treatment and care from highly qualified physiotherapists
BOOK TODAYWhat is BPPV and relating symptoms?
BPPV is the most common type of vertigo. BPPV is a disorder that arises due to a dysfunction of the inner ear. The floating calcium carbonate crystals known as otoconia disrupt the flow of fluid in the semi-circular canal.
Typical symptoms are of a spinning sensation- for example whilst turning in bed. These last about 20-30 seconds.
Diagnosis is made using the Dix-hallpike manoeuvre.

What does treatment involve?
This treatment is provided by Arti Shah, a highly experienced physiotherapist who specialises in treating BPPV and headaches.
Particles are re positioned using techniques including the Epley manoeuvre or Brandt-daroff exercises.
Therapists carrying out these manoeuvres must be fully trained as inappropriate positioning can cause a worsening of the symptoms. The re-positioning techniques allow the otoconia to leave the semi-circular canals and enter the utricles again.
