Understanding BPPV and Inner Ear Crystals

Ever feel like the world is suddenly spinning around you when you move your head?

This common condition is called BPPV, and it starts deep inside your inner ear.

Your ear contains tiny calcium carbonate crystals called otoconia, which help sense gravity.

BPPV happens when these crystals break loose and roll into the semicircular canals.

As they move, they send false signals to your brain, making you feel

dizzy. The good news? Simple movements can often guide those crystals back home.
