About BPPV

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is the most common cause of spinning dizziness which is related to the ear. This kind of spinning dizziness is called vertigo.

Patients typically have symptoms when looking up, rolling over in bed, or bending under things. In some cases it is possible for patients to identify the ear causing the symptoms.

This condition affects roughly 10% of the population over 60.  BPPV is likely underdiagnosed and often treated with medications instead of the more effective particle repositioning maneuver.
