The effect of BPPV treatment
The symptom pattern of BPPV, Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo, can be reduced by treatment from one of our physiotherapists in Tilburg. The common complaints are vertigo associated with movements and uncontrolled movement of the eyes. An examination will be used to determine which channel is involved and a treatment plan will be initiated. This consists of performing a liberation maneuver.
The treatment for positional dizziness
The most well-known maneuver is the Epley Maneuver for BPPV. If it concerns a different channel, different maneuvers are applied. Dizziness can also be caused by peripheral vestibular deficits. Balance disorders (risk of falling) and oscillopsia (symptoms in which a person's image of the environment shifts as soon as the head is moved) can also occur due to peripheral vestibular failure. Physiotherapy can also be used for peripheral vestibular deficits in the form of gaze stabilization exercises, vestibular habit training and balance training.
