Vertigo - Epley Maneuver - Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)

Vertigo - Epley Maneuver - The Epley maneuver is an exercise used to treat benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), a type of benign vertigo. BPPV is characterized by the sudden sensation that you or your environment is spinning, and is the most common type of vertigo. Although BPPV can be troublesome, it is rarely serious unless there is an increased risk of falling.

Note:
1. Note: Eye twitching (nystagmus) must be present for a BPPV diagnosis. Feeling dizzy but without nystagmus is NOT diagnostic for BPPV.
2. In this video we are talking about benign vertigo (BPPV). Please note though the major of vertigo cases are BPPV, not all cases of vertigo are benign. Therefore, you should familiarize yourself with the RED FLAG SIGNS.

RED FLAG SIGNS
An important factor to keep in mind is that vertigo or dizziness can be an indication of something more serious (such as a stroke). If you are experiencing any of the following sign or symptoms with vertigo or dizziness you should seek immediate medical attention:
