🏆BPPV is the number one cause of
vertigo. It is a brief spinning sensation that can be
triggered by head movements such as:
👉Getting up from or rolling over in bed
👉Looking up into the sky or to a high shelf
👉Picking something up from the floor
The cause of the BPPV is unknown in 50% of cases.
Other conditions that might make you more likely to
experience BPPV are:
👉History of ear surgery
👉Meniere’s disease
👉Migraine headaches
👉Viruses of the inner ear
👉Aging
The treatment is fairly straightforward and it is
successful in 90% of cases within one to three
treatments. A healthcare professional who is trained in
vestibular treatment guides you through certain
positions to clear debris from your ear that is making
you dizzy when you move your head.
