BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo) is a common inner ear disorder characterized by brief episodes of dizziness triggered by changes in head position. It occurs due to the displacement of tiny calcium carbonate crystals (otoconia) into the semicircular canals of the inner ear, disrupting normal balance signals. The primary treatment is the use of repositioning maneuvers, such as the Epley or Semont maneuvers, which guide the otoconia back to their correct position. These procedures are safe, non-invasive, and typically performed by trained healthcare professionals. In some cases, recurrence may occur, but regular exercises or follow-up treatments can effectively manage the condition.
