Did you know that one of the most common causes of vertigo is Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)? 👀💫
If you’ve ever experienced a sudden spinning sensation when rolling over in bed, standing up, bending down, or changing positions, BPPV may be the cause.
At the Neurologic Wellness Institute, we perform specialized positional testing to accurately identify which part of the peripheral vestibular system is involved. Common assessments include:
✔️ Dix-Hallpike Test – Evaluates the posterior and anterior semicircular canals by monitoring specific eye movements (nystagmus).
✔️ Supine Roll Test – Assesses for horizontal canal BPPV by observing horizontal eye movements.
✔️ Bow and Lean Test – An alternative positional test that can help diagnose certain forms of horizontal canal BPPV.
Accurate diagnosis is the first step toward developing the right treatment plan and helping patients get back to living with confidence.
