Vertigo & BPPV Treatment at One Step Ahead Mobility
At One Step Ahead Mobility (OSAM), our trained and licensed clinicians provide effective assessment and treatment for vertigo, dizziness, and balance disorders such as Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV).
These conditions can be unsettling and disruptive, but with the right evaluation and targeted therapy, most patients experience fast and lasting relief.
Understanding Vertigo and BPPV
Vertigo is the false sensation that you or your surroundings are spinning, even when you’re still.
A common cause of vertigo is BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo) — a condition that occurs when tiny calcium crystals (otoconia) inside the inner ear move out of place and interfere with your balance system.
Simple movements such as rolling in bed, looking up, or bending forward can trigger brief but intense dizziness, nausea, or imbalance.
Common Symptoms
- Spinning or tilting sensation with head movement
- Nausea or lightheadedness
- Unsteady balance or difficulty walking straight
- Sensitivity to changes in position
- Short episodes of dizziness lasting seconds to minutes
Our Treatment Approach
At OSAM, our team begins with a comprehensive vestibular assessment to identify the underlying cause of your dizziness.
If BPPV is confirmed, our clinicians perform safe, evidence-based repositioning techniques such as the Epley Maneuver, Semont Maneuver, or Brandt-Daroff Exercises to move the displaced crystals back to their proper location in the inner ear.
Your treatment plan may also include:
- Vestibular Rehabilitation Exercises: Gentle exercises to retrain your balance system and improve stability.
- Posture and Gait Training: To restore coordination and reduce the risk of falls.
- Home Program and Education: Guidance to help you manage symptoms and prevent recurrence.
Most patients notice a significant reduction in dizziness within one or two sessions.
