Default BPV Treatment

I had sever BPV and ended up in the hospital. After a tests and a CT scan of my brain, essential to rule out other causes of vertigo, and after treatment at Lake Center for Rehabilitation, my Primary Care Doctor referred me to a specialist in Vertigo & Balance treatment. Here is their information:
Dr James Atkins, MD
Florida Ear & Balance
410 Celebration Place
Celebration, FL
Tell: 321.939.3000
Hearing Aids And Hearing Health Services In Florida | TruEar

I tried physical therapy at Lake Center for Rehab, they have several locations in the Villages, but the limited Eply procedures they could do in house didn't fully eliminate my problem. It helped but not fully.

After confirming the diagnosis, Dr. Atkins recommended the FULL Eply treatment. It was not fun but after 3 sessions it totally relieved my problems/ symptoms. As far as I know they are the only facility in Florida with the Eply chair which enables them to do the full Eply treatment protocol.

Any time I have a minor reoccurrence, the Eply maneuver they taught me at Lake Center for Rehab has taken care of it.

Please be sure you get checked out to insure you have BPV and nothing more serious. I am told most good Drs and Lake Center for Rehab will only do the physical therapy once other potential causes have been ruled out.

Good luck!ðŸ¤
