What Is BPPV?

BPPV is Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo. This is a condition where you feel like you’re spinning, or dizziness. This dizziness may be the result of an inner ear issue or from changing the position of your head. Knowing the cause of this feeling is key in determining the type of treatment needed. BPPV can be treated with Physical Therapy, Chiropractic Care, or by Acupuncture. The therapists at Elite Spine & Sports Care of Totowa offer testing to find the cause of BPPV and then proceed to provide therapy options for treatment. We always welcome the opportunity to make patients aware of BPPV and discuss treatment. We recommend seeking treatment if you suffer from dizziness and we offer care to individuals in Passaic County NJ and surrounding NJ locations.

What Treatment Is Recommended For BPPV?

BPPV may be the result of head and neck problems as well as by inner ear issues. The Dix-Hallpike Test is used to determine whether the condition is coming from the ear canal. This test helps to figure out the type of treatment necessary. Treatment could involve Physical Therapy, Chiropractic Care or Acupuncture. BPPV is rarely serious, but can become a serious problem when the dizziness leads to losing your balance and falling.
