Benign positional vertigo is also called benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). It is caused by a problem in the inner ear. The inner ear has fluid-filled tubes called semicircular canals. When you move, the fluid moves inside these tubes. The canals are very sensitive to any movement of the fluid.

Your health care provider will do a physical exam and ask about your medical history. To diagnose BPPV, your provider may perform a test called the Dix-Hallpike maneuver. Your provider holds your head in a certain position.

Conditions We Treat: Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common of the vestibular disorders and is easily treated. This condition can affect people of all ages, but is most common in people over the age of 60. BPPV symptoms include episodic vertigo when your head is tilted up, or when you are turning over in bed or maneuvering out of bed.

BPPV Treatments. Once you get a diagnosis of BPPV, your specialist may treat you with the Epley maneuver, a simple physical therapy procedure. The Epley maneuver addresses the root cause of BPPV – calcium crystals in a chamber of the inner ear, called the semicircular canals, which are responsible for balance and perception.
