What Is BPPV?
BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo) is one of the most common causes of vertigo—a sudden sensation that you or your surroundings are spinning or moving. At Bodyworx Health Clinic in Totton, we regularly help patients struggling with dizziness and balance issues caused by BPPV.
This condition happens when tiny calcium crystals in the inner ear (called otoconia) become dislodged and move into one of the ear’s balance canals, interfering with how your brain perceives movement and balance.
Symptoms of BPPV
BPPV episodes often come on suddenly and can be triggered by:
- Rolling over in bed
- Getting out of bed or looking up
- Bending over or turning your head quickly
Common symptoms include:
- Brief episodes of vertigo (usually under a minute)
- Nausea or a sense of imbalance
- Dizziness triggered by head movement
- Difficulty focusing or walking steadily
What Causes BPPV?
BPPV can occur for various reasons, including:
- Age-related degeneration of the inner ear
- Head trauma or whiplash
- Inner ear infections
- Prolonged bed rest
- No identifiable cause (idiopathic)
While it’s not life-threatening, BPPV can be frightening and disruptive to daily life.
How Bodyworx Can Help Treat BPPV
At Bodyworx Health Clinic, we use a combination of assessment techniques and therapeutic manoeuvres to accurately diagnose and treat BPPV.
🌀 Vestibular Assessments
We’ll assess your balance system and eye movements to determine which ear and canal is affected.
🔄 Epley Manoeuvre
This is the most common and effective repositioning manoeuvre to move the dislodged crystals back where they belong. It provides relief in as little as one session in many cases.
🔄 Semont and Brandt-Daroff Exercises
For more stubborn cases, we teach self-treatment techniques to reduce recurrence and improve balance at home.
💪 MSK Support
If your dizziness is accompanied by neck stiffness or tension (common with postural dizziness), our MSK practitionersand chiropractors can help relieve muscle strain and improve spinal alignment.
