Beating Arthritis Pain with Physical Therapy
One of the most common questions I get from people trying to treat their BPPV is “Where do those crystals come from?” In addition, they usually ask “Are the crystals normal?”
To be clear, the little crystals (or rocks, depending on who you talk to) are called otoconia, and when they float into your “semicircular canals” they cause vertigo.
We call this type of vertigo BPPV, which stands for Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo. Our goal with the treatment of BPPV is to get those little crystals OUT of the semicircular canals and back where they came from (the “utricle”).
In this video, I’ll explain where those little crystals come from, and I’ll address the question about whether or not they’re “normal”.
The Best Part About Having Rheumatoid Arthritis… My Journey with RA
When I was 21 years old an in physical therapy school, I was diagnosed with moderate-severe Rheumatoid Arthritis, also known as RA.
The persistent pain and swelling in my knees, feet and hands was worsening, so the diagnosis was a good thing in terms of now having a disease that we could treat with various medications.
However, the diagnosis was also a disappointment for me… after all, who wants to have a chronic autoimmune disease with the promise of consistent joint pain for the rest of your life?
As life went on though, I started to figure out healthy, natural ways to treat my rheumatoid arthritis, and these natural treatments also had a positive impact on just about every aspect of my health.
