How to Reduce the Chance of BPPV Recurrence

Our Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) recurrence PDF handout is a simple patient resource that explains practical steps that may help reduce the chance of BPPV coming back. It helps patients understand that recurrence is possible and provides guidance on when to seek care. For clinicians, it serves as an easy take-home tool to reinforce education, support follow-through between visits, and give patients clear guidance on managing their risk of recurrence.
