Why did BPPV happen to me?

Most cases are idiopathic (no clear cause). Head injury, prolonged bed rest, dental procedures and inner-ear infections can trigger it.

Can I drive after the Epley manoeuvre?

Usually same day once symptoms clear. Wait until you're symptom-free for a few hours.

Yes, in 30–50% of people within a year. A single repeat manoeuvre usually resolves it. We teach a home version for suitable patients.

Can I get online / video consultation for BPPV (Positional Vertigo)?

Absolutely. Our online physiotherapy consultation for bppv (positional vertigo) includes a live video assessment, a personalised home exercise program with demonstration videos, and weekly WhatsApp follow-ups. It is especially helpful for out-of-station patients, NRIs, and anyone whose bppv (positional vertigo) exercises does not require hands-on treatment every visit.

Which physiotherapist is best for BPPV (Positional Vertigo) near me?

Look for a physiotherapist who is TNMC-registered, spends at least 45 minutes on the first assessment, explains their reasoning in plain language, and personalises the plan to your physiotherapy for bppv (positional vertigo). Our Vellore clinic ticks all four — patients from Vellore, CMC campus, Ranipet, Arcot and surrounding towns choose us for exactly these reasons.

Do you offer home-visit physiotherapy for BPPV (Positional Vertigo) in Vellore?

Yes — we provide home-visit physiotherapy for bppv (positional vertigo) across Vellore and greater Vellore district. A qualified physiotherapist brings portable equipment, does a full assessment in your home, treats the session, and leaves you with a home program. Ideal for elderly patients, post-surgery recovery, stroke rehabilitation and anyone with mobility limitations.

How soon should I see a physiotherapist for BPPV (Positional Vertigo)?

The sooner the better. Early physiotherapy for bppv (positional vertigo) — within the first 1–2 weeks of symptoms — is repeatedly shown to shorten recovery, reduce medication use, and prevent the condition from turning chronic. If symptoms are worsening, disturbing sleep, or limiting daily activities, book an assessment now rather than waiting.

Is physiotherapy for BPPV (Positional Vertigo) covered under insurance in India?

Physiotherapy for bppv (positional vertigo) is covered by most major Indian health insurance plans when prescribed by a doctor or as part of hospitalisation and post-operative care. We provide GST invoices, detailed treatment notes, and doctor-referable reports so you can file cashless or reimbursement claims with Star Health, HDFC ERGO, Niva Bupa, ICICI Lombard and TPAs.

What is the difference between physiotherapy and chiropractic for BPPV (Positional Vertigo)?

Physiotherapy for bppv (positional vertigo) is a regulated allied-health profession (TNMC-registered practitioners) that uses assessment-driven manual therapy, exercise prescription, and education to restore movement and function long-term. Chiropractic focuses primarily on spinal manipulation. For most Indian patients with bppv (positional vertigo), a physiotherapy-led rehab plan produces more durable, evidence-backed outcomes.

What should I bring to my first physiotherapy appointment for BPPV (Positional Vertigo)?

Bring any recent X-ray, MRI or blood reports, a list of your current medications, and comfortable clothing for movement testing. Note down when your bppv (positional vertigo) started, what makes it worse, and what makes it better — this saves 10 minutes of history-taking and lets us dedicate more time to hands-on assessment.

What is the best physiotherapy treatment for BPPV (Positional Vertigo)?

The best physiotherapy treatment for bppv (positional vertigo) in Vellore combines a thorough clinical assessment, manual therapy, graded therapeutic exercise, patient education, and — where indicated — modalities like dry needling, IFT, or ultrasound. At our Vellore clinic we build a personalised, evidence-based plan around your bppv (positional vertigo) treatment, lifestyle and goals, rather than a generic "one-size-fits-all" protocol.

Is dry needling / IFT / ultrasound safe for BPPV (Positional Vertigo)?

Dry needling, IFT, TENS and therapeutic ultrasound are safe adjuncts for bppv (positional vertigo) when performed by a trained physiotherapist and combined with active exercise. They are best used to unlock movement or reduce pain in the first 1–2 weeks, then tapered as your active rehabilitation takes over.
