For active families—whether you’re a youth athlete navigating quick movements, a parent running around with your kids, or a grandparent enjoying outings with loved ones—BPPV can significantly disrupt your ability to stay active and engaged. Don’t let dizziness and balance issues hold you back from the activities you love!
BPPV is a common vestibular disorder that causes brief episodes of dizziness, typically triggered by changes in head position. It occurs when tiny calcium crystals in the inner ear become dislodged, leading to a false sense of motion or spinning. While BPPV can be uncomfortable and disorienting, effective treatment options are available to help you regain your balance and confidence.
At Active Life, we emphasize an Active Treatment approach. Instead of relying solely on passive treatments like ice or rest, we focus on engaging you in your recovery process. Our comprehensive treatment plans include exercises, manual therapy, and functional training tailored to your specific needs. This proactive participation not only relieves pain but also helps prevent future issues.
Treatment Options for BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo)
Stay Active – Don’t Avoid Movement
Maintaining movement and balance is essential for recovery. While it may be tempting to limit activity due to fear of dizziness, research shows that a gradual return to movement can aid recovery. Our skilled therapists will guide you through safe and effective exercises to help you regain your confidence and functionality.
When to Seek Emergency Care – Red Flags for BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo)
While most cases of BPPV can be effectively managed with physical therapy, certain symptoms may indicate a more serious condition requiring immediate medical attention. These include:
- Persistent or severe dizziness that does not improve
- Sudden loss of vision or double vision
- Severe headache or neck pain
- Weakness, numbness, or difficulty speaking
If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s important to seek emergency care promptly.
