  • Video demonstrates how the Epley maneuver is performed to treat POSTERIOR canal BPPV affecting the right ear (1:13) as well as left ear (3:17). Both back and side views shown. Dix-Hallpike maneuver (0:19) to diagnose as well as figure out which side ear is the culprit is also shown (so you know which way to turn first). Basically, the side which triggers the worse symptoms is the culprit side.
    Animation showing what is going on within the inner ear is also shown.

    Instantly worked! My doctor friend recommended trying this technique and this video was brilliant at demonstrating how to self diagnose the condition and which ear, and then how to fix the problem! When I first laid back a white line kept jumping as my eyes struggled to fix on it, but immediately after 1 time of this movement, I could look straight! I no longer get dizzy looking up or lying back. For me this started about 40 days after a COVID reinfection and I read a study saying vertigo 43 days post COVID is surprisingly common. Hope you can continue to do great work in helping others.

    I am SO grateful for this video! I was diagnosed with BPPV several years ago, and sent to a physical therapist to do the Epley Maneuver (though it felt much more complex then... maybe they did the Dix-Hallpike first). I just did this procedure, intending to start with Dix-Hallpike to verify which ear it was, but as soon as I laid my head back while looking right, there was NO doubt it was my right ear. I held that position for several seconds after my eye twitching stopped, and moved to 2nd position... where I felt nothing. All downhill, right? Well, I rolled onto my left side, and the whole world churned! I'm used to feeling like the room is spinning, but this was the most intense vertigo I have ever felt! When I sat up I was still a tad nauseated, but right now I feel great! I will probably try the maneuver one more time tonight to make sure it's clear, but I am so grateful that I can do this at home now and not have to wait weeks to get an appointment. THANK YOU!

      @rosatullis1323 Před 4 měsíci +2

      I KNOW the feeling! I can’t bear to watch my eyes twitch, since the spinning sensation makes it impossible for me to open my eyes. I had two episodes, 3:49 16 years apart…very violent. The Dr. in the ER did this. Now, I have subtle cues that warn me that an episode is coming (still not often). This gives me time to do the maneuver. I’m so grateful that I’m in the group that can resolve it at home, and easily! Thank God! 🙏🏾🙏🏾

    After struggling for over four weeks with vertigo taking prescibed medicine with no result, my doctor gave me some information about this maneuver, but it was difficult to understand. Asking for a PT refferral to help took days to get a response. Resigned that this may be what my existence had become I searched YT for a demonstration.

      100% Robb, these videos are amazing...but shouldn't talk about seconds at all... just should read, turn when you no longer feel Nystagmus\vertigo. And if you have a partner turning you. Have them turn you when your eyes stop twitching (Nystagmus) also for everyone out there that are hurting real bad trying this maneuver... if you take over the counter Meclizine it makes the maneuver much more bearable! The power of modern medicine is ON FULL DISPLAY HERE. As if you have bad vertigo and try the maneuver you will feel horrible during and after... but not with Meclizine.

      If you don't feel vertigo when you lay your head back and look 45 degrees to the left or the right, you may not actually have BPPV or it may be extremely mild. Both times I've had it and done this maneuver, as soon as I laid my head back 30 degrees while tilted to the right 45 degrees, it was obvious I had it. My eyes twitched pretty violently and I could feel the vertigo.

      This exercise is only for the posterior canal.
      You have to do the dix-hallpike maneuver first to determine which canal the crystal is in.
      While doing the hall pike maneuver if you don’t notice nystagmus then you don’t have bppv.

      Basically, the side which triggers the worse symptoms is the culprit side... and the side towards which the maneuver should be performed. If turning head to right triggers the worse symptoms, then you perform a right epley.
