BPPV is a condition where the patient has seconds of vertigo when they turn their head to a specific position.

1 in 50 people will get it once in their lifetime.

In most cases no cause is ever found. Head inuries, older age, high blood pressure and migraines make people more susceptible to this condition.

It is a condition that occurs when balance crystals from one part of the balance organ get accidentally moved into another part of the balance organ.

In most cases it can be diagnosed and treated with manoeuvres undertaken by your specialist.

Occasionally, when these manouevres are difficult because of patient mobility issues a special moving chair can be used to reposition the crystals.
