What is BPPV?
BPPV is an acronym standing for:
- Benign: ‘harmless’ (non life-threatening)
- Paroxysmal: disturbance is brief, transient, and stereotypical
- Positional: always relating to head position to gravity
- Vertigo: a subjective feeling of whirling/spinning/dizziness etc
BPPV is a very common cause of vertigo/dizziness. It affects up to 2% of the population and accounts for 20-50% of all vertigo cases.
Neck stiffness and pain is also very common cause of vertigo/ dizziness. Your physio will help you by assessing the main cause of your dizziness and managing it appropriately.
There are many possible causes of dizziness, some of which can affect the balance.
