Epley maneuver: a simple treatment for vertigo

Some people experience vertigo when they change their head position rapidly, as if to overthrow their head on the pillow, looking down to tie their shoes, or turned over to reach items on high shelves. Vertigo is usually due to BPPV. Occurs when small particles of calcium are separated from their usual locations to form feces, usually in the posterior canal semisrkular (one of the canals in the inner ear). Disorders can often be eliminated by using the Epley maneuver for removing particles from the canal and return to where they came from. In this maneuver, the head of the agency and moved into different positions, hand in hand. Each position was held for about 30 seconds to allow the particles to move by gravity to the other channel. To check if the maneuvers went, people move in the direction in which the former chief cause vertigo. If vertigo does not occur, the maneuver went well. Stay in a semi-upright position for 24 hours after the Epley maneuver, used to be recommended, no longer need to be considered.

1. First, with people sitting, head turned about 45 to the right or left, depending on the trigger vertigo. The man then lay down with his head hanging over the edge of the table check (or bed.) Excrement triggers exaggerated signals to the brain, resulting in vertigo.
2. Finally, head and body behind more and more, until the nose pointing to the floor with bird feathers. The man then sat up straight but keep the head in order to remain deflected as far as possible. One time a person is straight, the head could be facing forward.
3. Head deflected farther to the left, so that the ear is parallel to the floor.
4. The head is then converted into another direction with the same angle.
