Have you ever rolled over in bed or looked up suddenly, only to feel like the whole room started spinning? You’re not alone! This sensation is often caused by Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) — the most common form of vertigo.
BPPV happens when tiny crystals in your inner ear move out of place and disrupt your balance. While it may sound alarming, the good news is that BPPV is both treatable and temporary. With the right care (and a few simple maneuvers), most people find relief quickly!
What You Can Do at Home
Here are a few simple ways to manage dizziness and speed up recovery:
- Move Carefully – Avoid sudden head movements or lying flat when you’re dizzy.
- Sleep Slightly Elevated – A couple of extra pillows can make a big difference.
- Protect Your Affected Side – Try not to sleep or lean on the side that triggers symptoms.
- Do Your Home Exercises – Movements like the Brandt-Daroff exercises can help reset your balance.
- Stay Hydrated – Water helps your body (and balance system!) function its best.
- Check In With Your Chiropractor – We can help track your progress and tailor exercises to your needs.
- Avoid Risky Activities – Skip driving or operating machinery during an active dizzy spell.
- Know When to Call 911 – Seek emergency care if you experience new or worsening symptoms like double vision or slurred speech.
