Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) can significantly disrupt daily life with sudden bouts of vertigo triggered by simple head movements. At Sheddon Physiotherapy Clinic, located in Burlington/Aldershot, our dedicated team specializes in effective treatments for BPPV to help you regain stability and comfort.
Understanding BPPV
BPPV arises when tiny calcium carbonate crystals dislodge from their usual position within the inner ear’s semicircular canals. This displacement interferes with normal fluid dynamics, leading to symptoms like vertigo, dizziness, nystagmus (rapid eye movements), and occasional nausea or vomiting. Though not life-threatening, BPPV can severely impact your quality of life.
Symptoms of BPPV
The symptoms of BPPV vary but often include episodes of vertigo, especially triggered by movements such as rolling over in bed or bending down. You may experience dizziness or a sense of unsteadiness, accompanied by involuntary eye movements during these episodes.
How Sheddon Physiotherapy Helps Relieve BPPV
At Sheddon Physio Burlington clinic, we offer specialized care tailored to alleviate BPPV symptoms:
Our physiotherapists are trained in Canalith Repositioning Maneuvers, such as the Epley or Semont maneuvers. These techniques are designed to reposition displaced crystals within the inner ear, providing immediate relief from vertigo and dizziness.
We develop personalized exercise programs as part of vestibular rehabilitation therapy. These programs focus on improving balance, coordination, and tolerance to vertigo-inducing movements through exercises like gaze stabilization and balance training.
Patient education is integral to our approach. We educate you on BPPV triggers and teach specific exercises for home use to complement in-clinic treatment, empowering you to actively participate in your recovery.
Our physiotherapists monitor your progress closely throughout treatment, ensuring adjustments are made to optimize outcomes and target your individual symptoms effectively.
Treatment Success and Outlook
Patients treated for BPPV at Sheddon Physiotherapy Burlington often experience significant improvement or complete resolution of symptoms after a few sessions. For persistent symptoms, we adjust treatment plans to achieve the best possible results and restore your quality of life.
