✨ Patient Success Story ✨
Today was a great reminder of how important specialized vestibular care can be!
We had a patient referred by a fellow physical therapist (we LOVE collaborating with our local PT community 🤝) who came in with complaints of vertigo-like symptoms. While many people are familiar with the more common form of BPPV, her case turned out to involve the horizontal canal, a less typical variant that accounts for only about 10–15% of BPPV cases.
🔍 Quick Facts About Horizontal Canal BPPV:
• Often presents with intense dizziness when rolling in bed or turning side to side
• Produces lateral (side-to-side) beating nystagmus (see video 👇)
• Can feel more persistent and disorienting than typical posterior canal BPPV
• Requires different assessment techniques and treatment approaches
After a thorough evaluation, we identified the issue and performed the Barbecue Roll (BBQ Roll) maneuver, a specific treatment designed for horizontal canal involvement.
💥 The best part?
She was symptom-free after just ONE treatment!
This is why specialized vestibular training matters. Not all dizziness is the same, and the right diagnosis + treatment can make a life-changing difference, FAST.
If you or someone you know is dealing with dizziness or vertigo, we’re here to help you find your balance again. 💙

Our program offers a fast, safe, reliable and accurate method of assessing fall risk with proper and proven diagnostics and cost-effective therapeutic modalities.
The Balance Center will offer:
State of the art Videonystagmography (VNG) technology for testing and identifying your condition. VNG is the gold standard test for vestibular pathology and is reimbursed by all major insurance carriers and Medicare. VNG tests will accurately diagnose at-risk patients by determining the presence of either a peripheral (inner ear & balance nerve) or central (brain & spinal cord) vestibular disorder.
The Better Balance platform is used for a fast, accurate evaluation, taking five minutes to complete. The test accurately identifies the probability of a balance disorder.
Once assessments are complete, the report will be sent back to referring MD for a follow up treatment plan. This plan may include Physical Therapy to help improve vestibular functioning and balance in order to prevent falls and increase overall quality of life.
