  • Peripheral Vertigo is caused due to a problem with the inner ear. Inflammation of the inner ear can cause a disruption of balance within the semicircular canals or small crystals located in the Semicircular canals can get displaced leading to irritation of the small hair cells leading to Vertigo.
