The Epley Maneuver for Vertigo

4. Home vs. Clinic

While most healthcare professionals recommend having a technician or a therapist perform the Epley maneuver in a clinic, there is a more simple option for home use. Before using the home method, speak with a healthcare provider to learn what side has the calcium crystal.

1. Begin by sitting on a bed with legs extended. Turn your 45 degrees to the affected side.
2. Quickly lie down, maintaining the head’s rotation and keeping the neck extended. Wait 30 seconds
3. Rotate the head 90 degrees so it faces the opposite side at a 45-degree angle. Hold this position for 30 seconds.
4. Roll onto the shoulder of the side the head is facing while maintaining head rotation. Wait another 30 seconds.
5. Sit up.
