BPPV (Benign Paraoxysmol Positional Vertigo
Helping you understand BPPV and get back to everyday comfort
BPPV is one of the most common causes of vertigo and is often triggered by specific head movements, such as turning over in bed, looking up, or bending down. Although the symptoms can feel sudden and intense, BPPV is usually related to small changes in the inner ear rather than anything more serious.
At Advanced Pain Relief Clinic Milton Keynes, we take the time to assess your symptoms and help determine whether your dizziness may be consistent with BPPV.
Book an appointment today and take the first step towards understanding your symptoms.
What Is BPPV?
BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo) occurs when tiny calcium crystals in the inner ear become dislodged and interfere with balance signals.
This can cause brief but intense episodes of spinning sensations, often triggered by head movement.
Symptoms are usually short-lived but can recur if not addressed.

BPPV may develop due to:
- Age-related changes in the inner ear

- Previous inner ear conditions
