We’ve all had the sensation of being dizzy - as if you can’t focus, can’t see straight, can’t stand upright without swaying or falling. You may even experience “tunnel vision,” where your peripheral vision goes dark for a few seconds. Dizziness is common and can have many causes. Vertigo, however, is a little different. While dizziness is typically synonymous with “lightheadedness,” which creates the illusion of being unsteady, vertigo is typically a response to a physiological factor that is causing a quite literal imbalance in your body.Those experiencing vertigo have reported feeling as if they are “rocking” or “spinning,” even when they are sitting still. If you are experiencing these symptoms, you may be suffering from benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). For more information on this condition and how we can treat it, contact Fyzical today. What exactly is BPPV? Vertigo, in general, is most commonly caused by an imbalance in the inner ear, also known as the “vestibular system.” Your vestibular system helps you maintain your balance and center of gravity by sending messages to your brain regarding your movement. When this is impaired, the necessary messages become blocked from your brain, and your movement becomes affected. You may feel as if the world is spinning around you, you can’t focus your vision for prolonged periods of time, or you can’t stand/move properly without feeling like you’ll topple over. Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is the most common cause of vertigo. It occurs when the microscopic calcium crystals known as “otoconia” located in your inner ears break apart and get into the circle canals that sense circular motion. With movements, the crystals roll in the canals and tell your brain you are spinning. Your other balance systems don’t agree with the spinning STEADY ALL OF YOUR DIZZYING BBPV SYMPTOMSWITH PHYSICAL THERAPY

sensation.This causes a mis-match in the balance systems and feelings of dizziness and imbalance. In addition to the imbalanced sensation of vertigo, some accompanying symptoms of BPPV may include: • Inability to focus or remain alert. • Double vision.
• Nausea or vomiting. • Arm or leg weakness. • Difficulty seeing or speaking. • Sweating. • Nystagmus, also known as abnormal eye movements. • Tinnitus, also known as a ringing in the ears. • Fainting. • Hearing loss. • Headaches or migraines. • Fatigue.

HOW IS BPPV TREATED?
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo can hinder your daily life, limiting your ability to perform even the simplest of tasks. Fortunately, Fyzical has some of the most advanced techniques for diagnosing and treating BPPV. Canalith repositioning maneuvers, such as the Epley maneuver, are forms of physical therapy that focus on treatment-specific head and body movements for BPPV patients. These maneuvers help in moving the calcium depositsoutof thecirclecanal to restorenormalear function. Vestibular rehabilitation is a form of physical therapy that focuses on the vestibular system located within the inner ear and the ways in which we can strengthen it. Since the vestibular system sends the gravitational messages to your brain about your body movements, focusing on balance- specific exercises can help in strengthening this system, thus diminishing your BPPV symptoms. If you believe you may be suffering from benign paroxysmal positionalvertigo,contactFyzical today.Our licensedphysical therapists will design an individualized treatment plan based onyourspecificneeds, inorder tohelpyou regainyourbalance and ease your symptoms.
