Have you suffered from Benign Positional vertigo (BPV)? Did you know that you can seek treatment from an Osteopath for BVP?
When people suffer vertigo they feel as though the rooms is spinning especially when they move into particular positions such as rolling over in bed.
Benign positional vertigo (BPV) is the most common cause of vertigo. It causes a sudden sensation of spinning, or like your head is spinning from the inside.
People can experience brief periods of:
– Mild or intense dizziness
– Unsteadiness
– Loss of balance
– Nausea
– Vomiting
Treatment includes a series of head movements that helps to dislodge the crystals that form in the ears allowing very rapid relief of the spinning sensation.
We have seen patients who have had this type of vertigo sometimes for up to several months and found no relief with medications. They were unaware that we (their Osteopaths) could help them and in one treatment we see huge resolution of their symptoms and mostly complete resolution after just two treatments.
If you suffer from this spinning sensation or you know someone who is, it is best to seek help from your health practitioner. See your Doctor if you experience any recurrent, sudden, severe, or prolonged and unexplained dizziness or vertigo.
