What Is BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo)?

BPPV is one of the most common causes of vertigo. It occurs when tiny crystals inside the inner ear become displaced, causing brief episodes of spinning sensations when rolling in bed, looking up, bending over, or changing head positions.

Specialized physiotherapy techniques can often provide rapid relief from BPPV symptoms.

Headache Physiotherapy in Hamilton

Many headaches originate from dysfunction in the neck, poor posture, muscle tension, and prolonged desk work. Physiotherapy can help reduce headache frequency and intensity by addressing the underlying mechanical causes.

Cervicogenic headaches are headaches that originate from the neck. Symptoms often include pain at the base of the skull, neck stiffness, reduced neck mobility, and headaches triggered by certain movements or postures.
