What Is BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo)?
BPPV is a vestibular disorder where displaced calcium crystals in the inner ear disrupt signals to the brain, leading to dizziness or vertigo. It often occurs with aging, head trauma, or inner ear conditions and can interfere with daily stability, mobility, and quality of life.
