Do you experience spinning sensations or unsteadiness associated with vertigo? The most common cause of vertigo is BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo), where some of the crystals we all have in our inner ears get into the wrong place and make the room appear to spin with certain head positions.
While common, BPPV is frequently misdiagnosed or treated incorrectly. When it is diagnosed and treated correctly, this condition is often resolved in only a few treatments. However, approximately a third of people may have their symptoms reoccur over time.
In recognition of the Vestibular Disorders Association’s Balance Awareness Week, listen to Marina Forester and Manny Villatoro, experienced and highly trained Lifemark vestibular physiotherapists, for a previously recorded webinar about BPPV. You will learn:
- The mechanics of BPPV (how it causes spinning sensations)
- Which symptoms are and are not consistent with BPPV
- How BPPV can be accurately assessed and treated
- When to get care
