BPPV and Acupuncture Care

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is one of the most common causes of vertigo, often described as the unsettling sensation that the room is spinning. This condition arises when tiny calcium crystals in the inner ear become displaced, disrupting the vestibular system’s ability to regulate balance.

While BPPV is considered benign because it does not cause permanent damage, its sudden and unpredictable episodes can significantly affect daily life, making simple movements like lying down, turning over in bed, or looking upward feel disorienting and distressing. BPPV can be exacerbated by stress and anxiety.

Traditional Acupuncture can reduce dizziness, nausea, and anxiety associated with vertigo episodes, reducing recurrence, helping with stress anxi,ety and general well-being.
