Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a specific type of vertigo that is brought on by a change in the position of the head concerning gravity. This disorder is caused by problems in the inner ear. Fortunately, the majority of people with BPPV can be treated with simple and specific maneuvers that involve moving the head and body. Our physical therapist will perform an evaluation and determine which maneuver is right for you. These maneuvers are designed to move the crystals from the semicircular canal back into the appropriate area in the inner ear (the utricle).
