What is BPPV?

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) occurs when tiny crystals in the inner ear become dislodged, leading to sensations of spinning or dizziness, often accompanied by nausea. This condition can significantly affect balance and daily activities.

At Optimum Clinic, we use targeted head movements and repositioning exercises to guide the crystals back to their proper place, alleviating dizziness and restoring balance.

Common Symptoms of BPPV

Symptoms are usually triggered by changes in head position, such as looking up, lying down, or turning over in bed.
