I Suffer From Vertigo BPPV

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo Treatment Brisbane

Amongst patients who suffer from peripheral vertigo attacks or vestibular migraines, 17-42% will be diagnosed with Benign Positional Paroxysmal Vertigo (BPPV), as will between 11-64 per 100,000 people in Brisbane each year. BPPV is easily diagnosed after a history of your symptoms is collected and is confirmed with physical tests. Further investigation is rarely required for diagnosis of BPPV.

BPPV is a condition affecting the otolith organs inside your inner ear. These otolith organs essentially control balance – they detect the gravitational and acceleration forces in your head during movement so that you can adjust and stay upright.

Vestibular symptoms from BPPV occur when these organs become impaired. The vestibular (inner ear) balance system will detect head movements that are normally fine, and react by causing symptoms of vertigo. This lower threshold for quite severe symptoms of vertigo can be quite debilitating for BPPV sufferers.

Brisbane Headache and Migraine Clinics™ treat BPPV using world-leading techniques that are safe, gentle, medication-free and non-invasive! Using our methods of vestibular physiotherapy, vestibular rehabilitation therapy, habituation exercises, and more, we expect to see positive results within the first 6 sessions, as we do with 85-90% of our patients.

Understanding Your Symptoms

What are the symptoms of Vertigo BPPV?

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is characterised by brief episodes of vertigo triggered by changes in head position. These symptoms occur due to displaced calcium carbonate crystals (otoconia) within the semicircular canals of the inner ear, which interfere with normal balance signals sent to the brain.

Common Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo Symptoms Include:

Vertigo (a spinning sensation)

Dizziness or lightheadedness

Nausea and, in some cases, vomiting

Blurred vision

Nystagmus (rapid, unidirectional involuntary eye movements)

Symptoms may last for seconds to minutes at a time but can recur with repeated head movements. While BPPV itself is not life-threatening, untreated symptoms can increase the risk of falls and significantly impact daily activities. BPPV symptoms may lessen over time, but it is important to seek treatment from a health professional in the early stages to prevent injury or falls.

What causes Vertigo BPPV?

Common Causes

Some common causes of BPPV include:

Head injury
Problems after ear surgery
Degeneration of the vestibular system (age-related inner-ear changes)
Inner ear disorder or disease (e.g. vestibular neuritis)

These issues can dislodge calcium carbonate crystals, leading to vertigo episodes.

BPPV can occur in different forms depending on the affected semicircular canal:

Anterior Canal BPPV

Triggered by tipping the head forward.

Posterior Canal BPPV

Provoked by movements that change head position (like rolling over in bed with your head turned toward the affected ear).

Understanding triggers, causes and types is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management of BPPV. Common triggers include:

Rolling over in bed
Tilting the head backward or forward
Sudden changes in head position
Looking up or down too quickly

BPPV Theory

There are two main theories about the cause of BPPV, both involving abnormal endolymph dynamics in the semicircular canals of the otolith organs:

The Cupulolithiasis Model

Loose particles in the endolymph become stuck in the cupula.

The Canalithiasis Model

Free-floating particles in the endolymph are detected by the cupula.

Two physical tests help confirm a BPPV diagnosis:

Dix–Hallpike Test – Detects dysfunction in the affected semicircular canal.
Supine Roll Test – Assesses the horizontal semicircular canal.

In a positive test, patients experience vertigo and the clinician observes nystagmus (rapid eye movements). If the superior canal is involved, nystagmus may be horizontal, vertical or rotary.

BPPV Diagnosis

Because vertigo can arise from various causes, BPPV is sometimes misdiagnosed as Meniere’s disease, central vertigo, vestibular neuritis or even anxiety-related dizziness. A thorough assessment—including the Dix–Hallpike and supine roll tests—is key to distinguishing BPPV from other vestibular disorders.

Organise Your Initial Assessment

About The Assessment Stage

What To Expect During The Assessment

1. Comprehensive and in-depth examination

We instigate an in-depth assessment to identify all possible related factors that could be causing your headaches or migraines. The upper cervical spine, in particular, is thoroughly examined to identify possible issues.

2. Ligamental stability and vertebral arterial tests

We undertake careful examination of neck ligaments and vertebral arteries, ensuring only the highest standards of patient safety and comfort.

3. Temporarily reproduce your headache and migraine symptoms

As a part of the treatment process, we apply gentle and selective stress to the upper cervical spine in order to reproduce headache symptoms, which subside after 20-30 seconds. This helps to identify and treat the cause of your headaches.

More about treating Vertigo BPPV

Living with Vertigo BPPV

A lot of the patients that we see will experience all of the symptoms of BPPV, but the results of their physical tests are unclear. In cases where standard treatment for BPPV is ineffective, vestibular dysfunction or increased sensitivity in the brainstem may be the true cause, leading to prolonged dizziness and balance issues. In such cases, when the vestibular nerve sends normal sensory information to an overly sensitised brainstem, the brain misinterprets these signals as a threat, leading to vertigo episodes.

Many individuals find that simple activities such as getting out of bed, bending down, or turning their head can trigger severe dizziness, nausea, and balance issues. Over time, this can lead to anxiety about movement, reduced confidence in daily tasks, and even avoidance of certain activities to prevent symptom flare-ups. Addressing BPPV early with appropriate treatment can help restore normal movement and improve overall quality of life.

Our approach to treating vertigo

Treatment for BPPV

The gold-standard treatment for the most common type of BPPV, posterior canal, is the Epley Manoeuvre. This physical examination technique places the patient’s head in a series of different positions, placing shifting matter and endolymph through the semicircular canals. This manoeuvre is commonly taught to patients to be performed regularly at home.

The patients that we see at Brisbane Headache & Migraine Clinic have often had mixed results with the Epley Manoeuvre, have tried various motion sickness medications and some have even tried surgical intervention. They sometimes have mild results, but it is often short-lived. This is because they often haven’t been thoroughly assessed to determine if a sensitised brainstem is the true cause of their symptoms.

If we assess you and can determine that, yes, the brainstem and upper cervical spine are the true cause of your vertigo then we can start treatment for BPPV right away.

Corinne Blake

I’ve been seeing Kevin Go at Spring Hill and he has changed my life from the very first treatment.

I have had Vestibular Migraine since February 2024, and back pain for over 40 years. VM had taken the joy out of my life, with visual aura, migraines, dizziness, and fatigue. I had no energy to do even the simplest of daily tasks. Kevin has been treating both the VM and the cause of the back pain.

When I read the reviews I thought they sounded too good to be true, but I was feeling at such a low point I considered I had nothing to lose. I now have energy and feel like “me” again. I had previously asked my neurologist if this would ever happen, and his reply didn’t suggest it ever would.

I have energy, the migraines have dramatically reduced, the dizziness has reduced, and I’m continuing treatment with Kevin for further results. I have not had back pain and the treatments are treating the cause of the back pain.
Thank you Kevin!

Response from the owner:Hi, Corinne. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!

Joe Tedesco

Tim’s attention to detail is reassuring. Finding the cause of the problem and
ma sure he doesn’t miss any diagnosis.
Highly recommended

Response from the owner:Hi, Joe. We appreciate the kind words and are glad we could provide you with a positive experience!

All Star Pet Resort

Kevin has been treating my 13 year old he’s had constant pain for three years now, neurologist, mris ct scans, heavy opioids nothing helped. The pain was so bad and constant he was suicidal. Intensive 3x3 week appointments and now 2x2 weekly appointments have given Ashton back his life and hope for the future. I can’t thank Kevin enough for his help and patience

Response from the owner:Hi, All. We are thrilled to learn that you had a positive experience with us!

Lee Schiller

I'm being treated by Kevin.
I'm very happy with the genuine care provided and the relief I've experienced. I haven't needed my previous migraine medication since being treated at this clinic. I also have not experienced a migraine since treatment commenced. As a long-term migraine sufferer whom of late was suffering migraines in consecutive days and migraine medication was not effective, I was getting desperate to eliminate these painful episodes. Needless to say I'm very thankful and would highly recommend this clinic.

Many thanks

Lee

Response from the owner:Hi, Lee. Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience. We truly appreciate it!

Julie Allsop

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude and provide glowing feedback for Bryan Wong at the Brisbane Migraine and Headache Clinic. Over the past month, both my daughter and I have experienced a remarkable transformation in our quality of life, thanks to his exceptional care and treatment for our chronic migraines.

Bryan is not only a highly skilled professional but also a compassionate and attentive practitioner. His kind, considerate, and polite demeanour instantly put us at ease, creating a safe and supportive environment for treatment. His superb bedside manner and gentle approach were a perfect complement to his effective and targeted therapies.

Initially, I wasn’t sure if the therapy he recommended would succeed in alleviating our migraine symptoms and pain. I am delighted to say I was wrong. The treatment has been exceptional—while it may not have entirely eliminated all headaches, any we do experience are now very mild and brief, rather than ongoing and debilitating and I have not had a 'full-blown migraine' (with auras, light-sensitivity, nausea) since undertaking the treatment.

I cannot recommend both him and the Brisbane Migraine and Headache Clinic highly enough - the receptionist staff are all delightful, compassionate and helpful, too.

If you are struggling with migraines and seeking a caring and professional practitioner who truly makes a difference, look no further. Thank you, Bryan, for your expertise, kindness, and the positive impact you’ve had on our lives.

Response from the owner:Hi, Julie. Thank you so much for leaving us a stellar review!

Melody Herft

I have been struggling with migraines with aura, vestibular migraines and chronic headaches. I had tried triptans, injections, infusions, and acupuncture. This is the only treatment that has helped me - my photophobia is completely gone, and I haven’t had a migraine since. I am forever grateful to this clinic, I have been able to do much more with my life now that my pain and light sensitivity has decreased.

Response from the owner:Hi, Melody. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!

Andrea Duffy

Sean Smith

I have been getting treatment for a couple of weeks now from this clinic with Mattias, and although the sessions are expensive and I was initially unsure of how success they would be, I have to say that it has been worth it there has been such a significant improvement in my headaches so far. Their techniques seem to be working and my tension headaches have almost completely gone and when I do get them they are noticeably less intense or they don’t last as long. Hoping that with continued sessions this will be the end of my headaches.

Response from the owner:We are happy to hear that you have seen such a significant improvement in your headaches after just a couple of weeks of treatment with Mattias. Thank you for sharing your positive experience with us. We look forward to continuing to help you on your journey to being headache-free.

I would recommend to anyone who suffers from migraines to give Brisbane Headache and Migraine Clinic a go.
I have gone from having in average a migraine a week to less than one every 2-3 months. My migraines are from a neck/ shoulder injury.
My first initial appointment with practitioner Mattias McAndrew made me feel he understood my concerns/issues. Which is extremely important and worked out an unusual therapy for me! It given me a renewed interest in life. I am achieving new heights and experiences from the results of my visits.
Would highly recommend.

I've had migraines weekly for over 10 years with no real relief from any prescription medication or help from medical practitioners, until i saw Dr Mattias. He has been an incredible help in finding the reason behind my migraines and is now in the process of fixing them.

Sinead Prince

I was suffering from a terrible cluster headache period and upon my very first treatment with Piumi, I haven't had a single headache reaching the same 10/10 pain again. It's been two weeks and multiple sessions, but I have my life back already and am treating my headaches with either caffeine or aspirin. I go several days without them now and I cannot thank Piumi enough.

Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your positive experience with us, Sinead! We're thrilled to hear that Piumi was able to provide you with effective treatment for your cluster headaches. It's wonderful to know that you've regained control over your life. If you ever need further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at 1800 432 322.

Leisa Burdette

When I first met Piumi at the Brisbane Headache and Migraine Clinic I was experiencing a cocktail of god awful symptoms like constant head pain + pressure, that included feeling dizzy, disconnected and a roaring/static sensations in the head, to the point where it made me tired and often times nauseous. I couldn't focus which made it very difficult for me to work or do day-to-day tasks. By the time I found the clinic I'd had MRI, CT's, seen Neurologists and other specialist.
So you can imagine just how RELIEVED I was to find something that worked........ and worked really rather quickly. I'm so grateful to see that all my nasty symptoms have now been kicked to the curb!
I'm no longer weighed down, I'm so much happier and back to working full time.
And can I say......Piumi listened !! so many of the medical profession only half listened or just presumed things. Piumi just took it all in, heard all the details of MY experience and treated MY situation with individual care.
I can't tell you how good it feels to be back to normal.

So don't think about it... GO... try it...... you'll be as happy as I am that you did. No more pain, no more despair. Live again

Response from the owner:Thank you for the review, Leisa! We're so glad to hear that your symptoms have improved so much. It sounds like you've been on quite a journey to find the solution. We're really happy to have helped!

Rebecca Agius

From the get-go I've found the staff at Brisbane Headache and Migraine Clinic to be really understanding and professional. I flew from Rockhampton in search of answers after nine years of intensive tension headaches, Migraine, and nausea that have been ruling my life. After both a Neurologist and Neurosurgeon reached the end of their skill-sets and gave up on me in the past year I googled and found Brisbane Headache and Migraine Clinic and decided to give them a go. Piumi was very professional and compassionate for what I've been going through and she believed me when I told her that I think it's all coming from my neck. She was able to very gently recreate the pain to determine that she had found the source of the headaches. She performed a treatment on me in that first appointment and for the first time in nearly a decade, I was headache free for weeks on end, with the occasional day here and there that I needed pain relief in the weeks after that. Since there are no practitioners of the technique needed to treat my neck in my hometown, Piumi has been willing to work closely with a Physio closer to my home in between times when I can make it to Brisbane for treatment with her, for which I am truly grateful! It's no exaggeration to say that meeting Piumi and the team at Brisbane Headache and Migraine Clinic has changed my life infinitely for the better. Thank you so much for everything! Beck Agius

Response from the owner:Thank you for the review, Rebecca! We're really happy to hear that we've been able to help. It's always a bit harder when travel and distance are a factor, but really glad to hear that we've been able to find something that has worked for you.

Niecky

Highly recommend! I have been seeing Piumi to work on the headaches I've been dealing with for a while and she is an amazing and caring practitioner! It improved within the first few sessions which has helped a lot! It was good to hear the details about what's been causing my headaches and getting the proper treatment and advice.

Response from the owner:Thank you for your review, Niecky! It's great to hear that your headaches are feeling better. We're happy to be able to help!

Shalyn Rye

Could not recommend this clinic or Dr. Piumi enough. For the last few years (about 4) I have suffered from painful, chronic tension headaches & migraines affecting my vision, causing nausea and if you suffer from them you know how much they take away from your life. I have cried tears of happiness with the appreciation I have for Dr. Piumi & how she has helped me gain my life back after only 4-5 appointments! I now only have one headache maybe once a week or two that quickly finish. Which in comparison to previously, mine would last for hours, days, sometimes even a week. I could even go to sleep & wake up with the same one no matter what I tried. I exhausted all my options before coming here & I wish I went sooner! You will not regret coming here. They will change your life.

Response from the owner:Thank you for the review, Shalyn! That's great to hear that you're only getting headaches once per week now, what a changed from almost every day!

Mike Rowland

Migraine suffer since I can remember, haven't had results like I have here. Mattias McAndrew out of Spring Hill has explained things much clearer than others in the past, and the treatments make total sense and have worked fantastically so far. Massive recommend.

Response from the owner:Thank you for the review, Mike! We're really glad to hear that everything has been going well. Better understanding can make a huge difference, and we're really happy to hear that the treatment is helping.

Rodney Wallis

Absolutely astounded with the results of Piumi Herath treatment. I was having migraines on an average of one every month for about . 20 years. Piumis manipulation treatment really produced the positive results I was looking for. No pharmacy drug has ever matched Piumi's treatment. My last migraine was in mid January. It is now mid June. On a lighter note, I have nicknamed Piumi, ASPRO.
Thanks ASPRO for a job well done and relieved me of the debilitating effects of crippling migraines.

Response from the owner:Thank you for the review, Rodney! I had to ask Piumi about that nickname. Great to hear that you haven't had a migraine for months now!

Candice Delofski

Working with Piumi these last few months has been amazing.
I have suffered with Migraines and incapacitating headaches for the last 10+ years. I had started to believe that I would never work a normal week.
Through weekly, then fortnightly appointments she has assisted me with learning stretches, desensitisation and minor adjustments.
It’s this combo that has taken my migraines from daily, to weekly.
It’s been a change that has allowed me to be consistent with my work, and to become more involved in my family.
If you are interested in a non- drug relief option, I highly suggest giving this clinic a try!

Response from the owner:Thank you for your review, Candice! That's amazing to hear that you're considering going to a normal work week. Once a week compared to every day, what a relief, lets keep that momentum going!

Lisa Bird

I have Occipital Neuralgia ( chronic pain and headaches daily). It is a very difficult condition to treat and after multiple treatments, procedures and seeing many physiotherapists, I have finally found a clinic that has given me some relief. Some relief is huge to me. I felt an instant feeling of being in good hands following my first appointment. I saw Mattais, he was thorough, professional, knowledgeable and best of all empathetic. He was also the first professional to explain to me why i have facial pain and how to manage my tense painful jaw.
I travel about 4 hrs in total to see him so he must be good. The receptionists are lovely and you are made to feel very welcome at the clinic, it's a great team environment and i am very appreciative of all their help.

Response from the owner:Thank you for the review, Lisa! That's quite a journey you've been on. We're so glad you've been able to finally find some relief. Thank you for trusting us enough to make the journey!

Heather Dale

From my first viewing of the BHMC website to my rehabilitation stage, I have been so impressed! With my background as a Physiotherapist, I knew what I was looking for but my treatment has surpassed expectations. My goal to become migraine free now seems possible. I have been a compliant patient during my treatment program in order to maximize the outcome. From the friendly, competent administration staff using efficient systems to the amazing knowledge & skills of Mattias, this Clinic provides an essential service to migraine sufferers. I highly recommend it!

Response from the owner:Thank you for the review, Heather! It's great to hear that you're happy with the service, especially coming from your physiotherapy background. Thank you for the kind words!

Christine Cansfield-Smith

I was very impressed with the professionalism of the BHMC. Prior to my visit (and we travelled from Victoria for the treatment) the staff were helpful and friendly. We recommend the Clinic just for the high level of customer service...even before the treatment! Piumi Herath was wonderful and very efficient. She was a delight to see each visit. I was only able to have 6 treatments over two weeks but I feel so much better already. I do believe that my migraines and headaches are on the way to being cured permanently. Thank you so much to all at BHMC!

Response from the owner:Thank you for the review, Christine! We're so glad to hear that you're feeling better already. That's a long way to come for treatment so we're really grateful that you've put so much faith in us. Thank you for the kind words

Chloe White

My life has turned around since I started to see Ariel. She was quick to located the root of my discomfort and told me exactly how she could fix it. Flash forward 8 months and I only have to go in for maintenance appointments and have no migraines anymore. I can’t recommend her and the team at Brisbane Migraine Clinics enough

Response from the owner:Thank you for your review, Chloe! We're really happy to hear that you no longer get any migraines! That's so exciting

Jenny

Weekly debilitating migraines were starting to really affect my quality of life. After the very first treatment with Ariel I felt relief and have continued to improve. Would highly recommend her as a caring, understanding and very experienced practitioner and cannot thank her enough for discovering the cause of my migraines. So grateful for the support of Ariel.

Response from the owner:Thank you for the review, Jenny! We're really glad to hear that you're continuing to improve.

Joh Embrey

Brisbane Headache and Migraine Clinic has been an absolute life saver for me. When I came in I was suffering from frequent and debilitating headaches and migraines. The staff are very friendly here and Mattias the head practitioner is very good at what he does. I am now about 3 weeks headache free when previously they were daily. Highly recommend to anyone suffering from headaches. I’d also recommend the pillow as this has helped dramatically. I found it very uncomfortable at first, but now I can’t sleep without and I don’t wake up with a headache or stiff neck anymore.

Response from the owner:Thank you for the review, Joh! We're really happy to hear that you've been headache free for 3 weeks now! We're also glad you love you pillow, we love them too!

Vicky Bautista

I've been suffering from chronic headaches for a long time. Then we found this clinic and met Douglas. Usually my headaches last a week, but when I started my treatments with Douglas my headaches have improved. He found what was causing my headaches and worked towards fixing it the root. I really recommend Douglas and their clinic!

Response from the owner:Thanks you for the review, Vicky! We're really happy to hear that you're headaches have improved, and that you can finally understand the cause!

susan grech

Really happy to recommend the Clinic and Piumi to anyone who is experiencing migraines. My condition has really improved in the 6 weeks I have been attending the Clinic, and Piumi is a very knowledgeable and caring practitioner.

Response from the owner:Hi Susan, thank you so much for your kind words. We are so glad to see your results and that your experience with Piumi has been great.

Tiffany Morris

After suffering monthly (sometimes more often) migraines for 15+ years that would keep me from school/work, I saw a billboard and decided to try Brisbane Headache and Migraine Clinic.
After seeing Ariel for my initial round of treatment and continue to attend once every 4/5 months, I have had 1 migraine in that time (right at the start of the treatment).
Ariel is amazing and recommend her and the Brisbane Migraine Clinic very highly!

Response from the owner:Hi Tiffany, thank you so much for your kind words of Ariel and our clinic. It is great to see your results!

Hyatt Narsh

Ariel has done wonders for my migraines and I can’t be more happy with the results! So professional and welcoming. Recommend their services and Ariel to everyone!

Response from the owner:Hi Hyatt, thank you for your very kind words. We are so happy that you are seeing such great results and that Ariel was able to assist you.

Cheryl-lee Morgan

My son was suffering badly with severe migraines causing nausea, vomiting and excessive pain multiple times a week. From the very first session he began to notice some relief. After a month of treatment he has been and remains now 4 months down the track migraine free. Can not recommend Brisbane Headache and Migraine Clinic and Douglas Woo enough to anyone seeking help for a long term medication free solution! Absolutely fantastic!

Response from the owner:Thank you for the review, Cheryl-lee! That's amazing to hear that your son is now migraine free.
