BPPV may be common.

But that doesn’t mean every case is simple.

Sometimes the nystagmus doesn’t look exactly like you expected.

The positional test is positive - but you’re not completely sure which canal is involved.

The patient improves after treatment...then comes back.

More than one canal may be involved.

Or the findings make you wonder whether you’re looking at BPPV at all.

That’s when memorizing another repositioning maneuver isn’t enough.

You need to understand what you’re seeing, what it means, and how those findings should guide your next clinical decision.

That’s exactly what this course was designed to help you do.

Lesson 1: Introduction to BPPV

You’ll review the anatomy, physiology, and mechanisms involved in BPPV so you can better understand why different positional tests produce the findings you see and how otoconia moving within the vestibular system influence symptoms and nystagmus.

Lesson 2: Posterior Canal BPPV

Posterior canal BPPV may be the most common presentation - but not every posterior canal case behaves the same way.

You’ll explore:

• Posterior canal assessment
• Treatment approaches
• Posterior canal variants
• Interpretation of positional findings
• How examination findings influence treatment selection

Lesson 3: Anterior Canal BPPV

This section helps you better understand the findings associated with anterior canal involvement and how to reason through the examination when the presentation isn’t immediately obvious.

Lesson 4: Horizontal Canal BPPV

You’ll learn how to assess horizontal canal involvement, interpret positional findings, and select treatment strategies based on what your examination reveals.

Lesson 5: Complex BPPV and Other Considerations

This is where the course moves beyond the straightforward cases.

You’ll explore:

• Canal jam
• Light cupula
• Multi-canal BPPV
• Additional BPPV recommendations
• Central mimickers
• Strategies for assessment when you don’t have vestibular goggles

Lesson 6: Real Patient Case Studies

You’ll work through multiple real patient cases and analyze examination findings, nystagmus characteristics, canal involvement, and treatment decisions.

✔ You already understand the basics of BPPV and want to strengthen what comes next.

✔ You treat people with dizziness and want to feel more confident interpreting positional testing and nystagmus.

✔ You sometimes find yourself unsure which canal is involved or which treatment approach to choose.

✔ You want more exposure to atypical, recurrent, variant, and multi-canal BPPV presentations.

✔ You want to move beyond memorized maneuvers and develop stronger vestibular clinical reasoning.

BPPV ISN'T ALWAYS A TEXTBOOK CASE 

Sometimes the findings are clear.

Sometimes they aren't.  

And the difference between simply performing a maneuver and truly managing BPPV is being able to interpret the examination, understand the mechanism, and adapt your treatment accordingly.

The more clearly you understand what you're seeing, the more confidently you can decide what comes next.
