Vestibular Care

Vertigo & BPPV Treatment in Dubai

Sudden spinning when you roll over in bed or tip your head back? That's the classic pattern of BPPV — the most common, and most treatable, cause of vertigo. We pinpoint which ear and which canal is involved, then treat it with precise repositioning.

Most BPPV settles in 1–3 sessions once it's correctly diagnosed. Book an assessment and let's find which canal is involved.

Understanding the Condition

What Causes Vertigo & BPPV

01

Dislodged Inner-Ear Crystals

In BPPV, tiny calcium crystals break loose and drift into the ear's balance canals, sending false motion signals that trigger brief, intense spinning.

02

Head-Position Changes

Vertigo that fires when you roll over, look up or bend down is the hallmark of BPPV — the crystals shift with gravity and provoke the spin.

03

Vestibular Neuritis

Inflammation of the balance nerve, often after a virus, can cause sudden severe vertigo for days, followed by lingering unsteadiness.

04

Head Injury or Concussion

A knock to the head can dislodge inner-ear crystals or disrupt balance pathways, leaving vertigo and dizziness in its wake.

05

Ageing of the Balance System

Natural changes in the inner ear make BPPV more common with age — and a frequent contributor to falls in older adults.

06

Prolonged Bed Rest

Extended time lying down, after surgery or illness, can encourage crystals to settle in the wrong place and bring on positional vertigo.

How we treat it

The KINETIKA Approach

1
Specialist Vestibular Assessment

Videonystagmoscopy, head-impulse testing and clinical balance tests identify exactly which system is involved. No two balance systems are the same — your plan won't be either.

2
Repositioning & Hands-On Treatment

Where indicated — Epley and repositioning manoeuvres for BPPV, plus upper-cervical manual therapy for neck-related dizziness.

3
Vestibular Rehabilitation Programme

Gaze-stabilisation, habituation and balance exercises, dosed to your symptom threshold and progressed deliberately.

4
Confidence & Return-to-Activity

Falls-prevention, return-to-driving guidance and a clear home programme so the gains hold long-term.

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

BPPV is caused by tiny crystals becoming dislodged in the inner ear. It's the most common cause of vertigo and usually resolves in 1–3 sessions with specific repositioning manoeuvres such as the Epley.

Many people with BPPV feel substantially better after one or two repositioning sessions. More complex vestibular conditions take longer, and we'll give you a realistic estimate after your assessment.

No. You can book a vestibular assessment at Kinetika directly. If we identify something that needs a neurologist or ENT specialist, we'll refer you and coordinate care.

BPPV itself isn't dangerous, though it can be distressing and raises fall risk. A proper assessment also rules out the less common causes of vertigo that do need medical attention.
