Understanding BPPV
BPPV is Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo – a condition where you have a feeling of
spinning or dizziness. This is often the result of an inner ear issue or from changing the position of your head. Knowing the cause of this feeling is crucial in determining the type of treatment that is needed. BPPV can be treated with Physical Therapy, Chiropractic Care, or by Acupuncture. At Elite Spine and Sports Care of Totowa our knowledgeable therapists offer testing to discover the cause of BPPV and then proceeding to provide therapy options for treatment. We welcome the opportunity to educate patients about BPPV and talk about treatment. Elite Spine offers a way of understanding BPPV and seeking a mode of treating patients suffering with BPPV in Passaic County NJ and surrounding NJ counties.
How Is Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo Treated?
BPPV may be caused by head and neck problems as well as by inner ear issues. The Dix-Hallpike Test is used to determine whether the problem is coming from the ear canal. This test helps determine the form of treatment necessary. Treatment may be Physical Therapy, Chiropractic Care or Acupuncture. BPPV is rarely serious, but can be when it leads to losing one’s balance and falling.
When seeking treatment through Chiropractic Care, manipulation techniques may be used. The professional Chiropractors at Elite Spine are experienced in these techniques and have found they are helpful in addressing BPPV.
Exercise and Alignment offered by our Physical Therapy staff are another option for treating BPPV. The dizziness may affect you when lying down, sitting up or when standing. Physical Therapy treatment can bring relief to anyone suffering the discomfort of BPPV.
Acupuncture is another form of treatment for BPPV. Our certified Acupuncturists at Elite Spine and Sports Care of Totowa can stimulate the area surrounding the ear, providing relief through realignment.
