BPPV (Positional Vertigo) Treatment in Vellore

Brief spinning attacks triggered by rolling in bed, looking up, or bending down — caused by dislodged crystals in the inner ear.

BPPV happens when otoconia (calcium crystals) migrate into a semicircular canal. It's the commonest cause of vertigo and usually resolves in 1–2 Epley manoeuvres.

Symptoms we look for

  • Brief spinning with position change
  • Nausea
  • Lasts under 60 seconds per episode
  • No hearing change

Benefits

  • Correct diagnosis (Dix-Hallpike)
  • Physio-guided repositioning
  • Habituation for residual symptoms

Trade-offs

  • Self-diagnosis without Dix-Hallpike
  • Only medication (rarely fixes BPPV)
  • Bed rest

    "Great experience from Thorapadi. Clean clinic, air-conditioned rooms, latest equipment for bppv rehabilitation. The therapist speaks Tamil, English and Hindi so my in-laws had no issue explaining their symptoms."

    "Sports injury from local cricket — my bppv was ruining my season. The return-to-sport protocol here is elite: force-plate testing, criteria-based progression, sport-specific drills. Back on the field in 6 weeks, stronger than before."

    "Referred by a colleague in Katpadi. The dry-needling and manual therapy for my bppv gave same-day relief, and the strengthening plan made it last. First clinic where a physio actually watched me move before treating."

    "Post-surgery rehab for bppv was handled beautifully. Coordinated directly with my surgeon at CMC. Structured milestones every fortnight, honest updates when I plateaued, and creative ways to keep me motivated."

    "Was skeptical about physiotherapy for bppv — thought only rest or surgery would help. After a 45-minute assessment I understood exactly what was wrong and what to do. Symptoms reduced by 70% in one month. Wish I had come earlier."
