Manevr Epli Video
BPPV occurs when small pieces of bone-like calcium (canaliths) break free and float inside small canals in your inner ear. This sends confusing messages to your brain about your body's position, which causes vertigo. The Epley maneuver is used to move the canaliths out of the canals so they stop causing symptoms.
If you are experiencing vertigo and have recently been diagnosed with BPPV, you should to go to a doctor who will perform the Epley maneuver to reposition your inner ear crystals. A doctor or therapist is the only person who should do this maneuver if this is your first time experiencing BPPV.
To perform the maneuver, your health care provider will: • Turn your head toward the side that causes vertigo. • Quickly lay you down on your back with your head in the same position just off the edge of the table. You will likely feel more intense vertigo symptoms at this point. • Move your head to the opposite side. • Turn your body so that it is in line with your head.
You will be lying on your side with your head and body facing to the side. • Sit you upright. Your provider may need to repeat these steps a few times. Bhattacharyya N, Baugh RF, Orvidas L, et al. Clinical practice guideline: benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. Otolaryngol: Head Neck Surg.
