Physical Therapy for Positional Vertigo

 

Have you been feeling dizzy with head movements?

Does the room spin when you turn over or get in/out of bed?

Does bending over or looking up make you dizzy?

You may be experiencing something called Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo, or BPPV. BPPV is a disorder of the vestibular system where crystals in the inner ear break free from their intended location, get into the semicircular canals, and cause an increase in sensitivity to head movement/position changes.

BPPV often occurs spontaneously, but it can also occur following a fall, car accident, or other head trauma. This type of dizziness can be very debilitating. However, BPPV is very treatable and we provide that treatment at Dynamic Physical Therapy! Symptoms can typically be diminished in 1-2 visits.

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms and would like a Physical Therapist to evaluate  and determine appropriate treatment for you, please call Dynamic Physical Therapy at (760) 501-6655 or request an appointment here:
