| Vertigo home exercise - use this exercise to manage occasional or mild vertigo. Be careful to avoid hanging your head off of the end of the table. |
Vertigo is a common condition characterized by a spinning or rotating sensation even though you are not moving.
A special type of vertigo is called Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) and is responsible for up to 35%
of all reported cases of vertigo.
BPPV can be caused by allergies, flu-like episodes, ear infection or a blow to the head.
Physical Therapists can treat this type of vertigo with a 95% success rate using simple positional techniques.
The most common technique is called Epley's Maneuver.
Mis-placed calcium crystals in the inner ear are re-positioned by the physical therapist's maneuvers.
The video on this page has a physical therapy home exercise technique (Brandt-Daroff) and is recommended for
occasional and mild cases of BPPV. You can do this one at home.
Epley's maneuver may have to be done up to two (2) times by the physical therapist.
If you don't feel significant and immediate relief from the spinning and the dizziness then your condition may not
be BPPV.
Remember, this video is the Brandt-Daroff technique - not Epley's maneuver. You need a doctor or a physical
therapist to perform an Epley's maneuver.
