BPPV Treatment in Orlando: Find Lasting Relief from Vertigo with Dr. Mario Urdaneta-Moncada
If rolling over in bed, looking up at a shelf, or bending down to tie your shoes sends the room spinning, you’re not alone. These sudden spinning spells are one of the most common causes of dizziness, and they’re usually very treatable. If you’re searching for BPPV treatment in Orlando, here’s what you need to know, and who can help.
What Is BPPV?
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a inner ear condition that causes brief but intense episodes of spinning, usually triggered by changes in head position. Inside your inner ear are tiny calcium carbonate crystals called otoconia. When these crystals break loose and drift into the semicircular canals, they send false signals to your brain about movement. The result is vertigo, often with nausea, imbalance, and a lingering “off” feeling.
Common triggers include:
- Rolling over in bed
- Looking up or bending down
- Getting in or out of bed
- Quick head turns
BPPV can happen after a head injury, with age, or for no clear reason at all. While it isn’t dangerous on its own, it can make you unsteady and increase your fall risk, so it’s worth getting treated.
Why an Accurate Diagnosis Matters
Not all dizziness is BPPV, and not all BPPV is the same. The condition can affect different canals in either ear, and each type requires a different repositioning technique. Treating the wrong canal, or the wrong side, means the vertigo doesn’t go away. That’s why a skilled evaluation matters. Trained clinicians use specific positional tests to identify exactly which canal is involved and then treat it with a targeted maneuver.

When to Seek Care
See a specialist if you have repeated spinning spells triggered by head movement, ongoing unsteadiness, or dizziness that’s disrupting your work, sleep, or daily activities.
Seek emergency care immediately if dizziness comes with sudden severe headache, slurred speech, facial drooping, weakness or numbness, double vision, or trouble walking. These can be signs of a stroke or another serious condition.
