Supporting Your Body’s Balance
Vitamin D, calcium, magnesium, and vitamin K all play important roles in overall health. However, supplements should not be considered a guaranteed treatment for vertigo or displaced inner-ear crystals.
If you have recurring BPPV or a vitamin D deficiency, a healthcare professional can help determine whether testing or supplementation may be appropriate for you.
Simple Exercises That May Help Reposition Displaced Crystals
Certain head and body movements can help reposition displaced inner-ear particles in people with specific types of BPPV.
One of the best-known techniques is the Epley maneuver, which is commonly used to help relieve vertigo associated with posterior-canal BPPV.
The maneuver involves a series of carefully controlled head and body movements. Because the correct technique depends on which ear and canal are affected, it is best to learn the proper method from a qualified healthcare professional.
When the correct diagnosis has been made and the appropriate maneuver is used, many people experience significant relief from positional vertigo.
