The most common vestibular disorder is Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). The dizziness symptoms are provoked by a change in head position such as rolling over or getting in or out of bed. Anne Marie Sinasac-Roy, Doctor of Audiology, and Brent Robinson, Audiologist, have over a 95% success rate for the treatment of BPPV. The treatment is gentle and involves moving your head into very specific positions. You will require someone to drive you home from the appointment.
