Dizziness (Vertigo) Clinic in Calgary AB

What is Vertigo in Calgary AB? Vertigo refers to a sensation of spinning or movement when you are actually still. It’s a form of dizziness where you might feel as though the room is rotating around you.

One of the most common causes is Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). BPPV occurs when tiny calcium crystals (otoconia) in the inner ear become dislodged and move into the wrong canals. When these crystals stimulate balance sensors inappropriately, the result is dizziness or spinning sensations.

Vertigo can be sudden, intense, and extremely distressing—but effective treatment is available.

Diagnosing Vertigo in Calgary AB

The Dix-Hallpike maneuver is a standard test used to confirm BPPV. During the test, your doctor will guide you from a sitting to a lying position while gently turning your head. If vertigo symptoms appear—sometimes accompanied by rapid, involuntary eye movements (called nystagmus)—BPPV is likely the cause.

Treating Vertigo

Our doctors provide vertigo treatment in South Calgary using the Epley Maneuver, a safe and effective repositioning technique first developed by Dr. John Epley in 1980.

During the procedure, your doctor moves your head through a series of specific positions designed to move the displaced crystals away from the balance receptors. This helps relieve dizziness and restore normal function.

Will Vertigo Happen Again?

While the Epley Maneuver is highly effective, some patients may need more than one visit to fully resolve symptoms.
Recurrence varies—some individuals never experience vertigo again, while others have occasional flare-ups that may require follow-up treatments.
