A Simple Technique to
Eliminate Vertigo
at Home Discovered
If
you suffer Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo
(BPPV), you may have tried to eliminate vertigo
using a technique called “Epley maneuver” to move the crystal particles inside
your inner ear.
This
is a very successful technique to eliminate vertigo,
when performed by doctors or physical therapists but more difficult as
do-it-yourself technique.
When
Dr Carol Foster – an expert in vertigo
– experienced BPPV herself, she developed her own home technique to eliminate vertigo
that ended up being easier and more successful than Epley maneuver.
She
calls it “the somersault maneuver”
After
successfully treating
her vertigo
with “the somersault maneuver”, Dr Carol Foster conducted a study to find out
which of the Epley maneuver and her half somersault maneuver worked best as a
home treatment
for vertigo.
She
published her findings in the journal Audiology and Neurotology Extra.
She
recruited people with vertigo,
divided them into two groups, and taught them either the Epley maneuver or the
half somersault maneuver. After she observed that they could do it, she sent
them home with instructions to continue it for six months.
She
then tested them to see which group’s treatment
was the most successful. The best test of vertigo
is called nystagmus, which are the rapid involuntary movements of your eyes that
occur when you are extremely dizzy.
After
two months self-administered maneuvers under her supervision, the reduction of
nystagmus was greater in the Epley maneuver group, but both procedures worked
quite well.
After
six months, however, the half somersault maneuver ended up more effective, with
more failures in the Epley maneuver group.
So
how should you do the half somersault maneuver?
Directions:
#1
- Kneel on the floor and look up at the ceiling.
#2
- Lean forward with your head as if you going to do a somersault. Your head
should touch the floor with your chin tucked in so you face your thighs. Hold
this position for about 30 seconds.
#3
- Turn your head 45° in the direction of the ear that causes your vertigo
and hold it for 30 seconds.
#4-
While holding your head at this 45° angle, raise it quickly until it is level
with your back while you are on all fours. Hold for 30 seconds.
#5
- While keeping your head at the 45° angle, raise it all the way until the top
of your head points to the ceiling.
#6
- Then stand up and turn your head so you are facing forward again.
The
trouble with this technique (as well as Epley maneuver) is that it helps only
for one type of vertigo
and doesn’t work for everyone.
Another
problem is that they take a long time to develop permanent results and you’ll
probably have to keep on doing them.
