Epley maneuver for vertigo

This maneuver is done with the assistance of a health professional or physical therapist. A single 10- to 15-minute session usually is all that is needed. When your head is firmly moved into different positions, the calcium crystals (canaliths) causing vertigo will move freely and no longer cause symptoms.
