Epley Maneuver<\/h2>\n
This home remedy should be used if you have vertigo (ex. Left ear):<\/p>\n
- \n
- sit at the edge of your bed and turn your head 45\u00b0 to the left, then put a pillow under you so that its positioned between your shoulders<\/li>\n
- quickly lie down with your head on the bed and the pillow under your shoulders, then wait 30 seconds for the vertigo to stop<\/li>\n
- turn your head 90\u00b0 to the right without lifting it and wait another 30 seconds<\/li>\n
- turn your entire body and your head on your side to the right so that you\u2019re looking at the floor, and wait 30 seconds<\/li>\n
- sit up slowly but stay on the bed for a few minutes<\/li>\n
- if your vertigo comes from the right ear, you can use this same maneuver but follow the instructions in reverse.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Semont Maneuver<\/h2>\n
This is also a left-side ear vertigo treatment:<\/p>\n
- \n
- sit at the edge of your bed and turn your head 45\u00b0 to the right<\/li>\n
- quickly lie down on your left side and remain in place for 30 seconds<\/li>\n
- lie down on the opposite end of your bed without changing the direction of your head, and keep it at a 45\u00b0 angle for 30 seconds<\/li>\n
- return to a sitting position and wait a few minutes<\/li>\n
- reverse these instructions for right-side ear vertigo.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Foster Maneuver<\/h2>\n
If you have any difficulty performing either of the two exercises above, you may find this one a little easier to carry out:<\/p>\n
- \n
- kneel down while looking at the ceiling for a few seconds<\/li>\n
- touch the floor using your head and keeping your chin tucked in, then wait for vertigo conditions to cease<\/li>\n
- turn your head in the direction of the ear which is causing your vertigo, and wait 30 seconds<\/li>\n
- raise your head quickly so that it becomes level with your back while you\u2019re still kneeling down, and keep your head at a 45\u00b0 angle for 30 seconds<\/li>\n
- raise your head quickly so that it becomes completely upright, while maintaining your head in position with the side of your body you\u2019re working on, and then slowly stand up.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Each of these maneuvers should be performed several times before you experience significant relief. After doing it once, wait 15 minutes before repeating whichever exercise you\u2019re doing, and your symptoms should be either completely gone or significantly reduced.<\/p>\n
