Vertigo Cure (BPPV) Self Treatment Video

===============================================================================

Dr. Ludlow demonstrates a quick and easy way to get rid of vertigo!

AJ here with Stronglife Physiotherapy. Does the room spin when you roll over or get out of bed? Or maybe when you tilt your head or look up or down? This is likely caused by a specific type of vertigo call BPPV which accounts of about 80% of all vertigo cases. BPPV can cause lots of problems: Dizziness, nausea, vomiting, injuries from falls. Fortunately there is a quick and easy way to fix your vertigo! And the best part is that you can do it yourself!

Now, keep in mind this only works for one specific type of vertigo, BPPV, which is caused by free floating particles inside the inner ear which create a sensation of spinning when they move. If your symptoms are different than the ones I have described or the spinning lasts longer than 1 or 2 minutes you probably have a different type of vertigo.

Half Somersault Maneuver, created by Carol Foster, MD.

Start in a kneeling position. tip your head straight up and look at the ceiling. Hold this position for a few seconds. You'll probably start to feel some spinning and that's OK.

Then put your head completely upside down tucking your chin in a little. Your head shouldn't be completely vertical. It should be tucked under slightly towards your knees. In this position turn your head toward your right elbow to treat the right side or the left elbow to treat the L side. You're going to feel some spinning if you're treating the correct side. Wait for the spinning to stop or at least a count of 30 seconds.

Then quickly raise your head to be level with your back keeping your head in the turned position. Hold this position until the spinning stops.

Now quickly return to the upright kneeling position keeping your head turned and hold for 30 seconds.

Sometimes once is enough to completely cure your vertigo symptoms. For some people it will take several times performing the maneuver to get the desired outcome. If you still have symptoms wait for about 15 minutes for the inner ear to settle down and repeat the process.

Please share this video with someone you know who is suffering from vertigo so that they can learn how to help themselves get better.

I had been suffering from Vertigo for over a week. Could not lay down to sleep, could not drive, and was missing work. I woke up at 3 am last night frustrated from not sleeping well and found you on Youtube. I tried your maneuvers and all dizziness was gone. I went back to bed and slept like a baby and woke up with zero dizziness. Thank you so much for this video and information. <3

I have been suffering from vertigo for 7 years. 😢 I just did this exercise after experiencing severe vertigo for the past 3 days. It worked the first time I did this exercise!!! Completely gone!!! Thank you so much for this video. It means a lot that someone cares and the doctors only prescribe motion sickness pills and basically say "hey you're on your own." You are a blessing from God. Thank you so much.

Absolute genius! I was actually terrified of my BPPV and always worried going to bed, wondering if this will be the night where it comes back. Then my worse fear once again came back one morning. I panicked, nearly to the point of having a full blown panic attack. So I composed myself, went on Youtube and found this video. I was worried about the manoeuvre inducing dizziness, but I figured that I was already feeling dizzy so what's the difference.

Here's what I did:

1) My BPPV is on the left side, so did the above video but turned my head to the left. Even though each move brought on the vertigo, I remained calm and just waited for the 'wave' to pass over me. I was very scared it wouldn't, but it did, exactly like it was explained in the video - that's how you know that you truly have BPPV - the moves induce vertigo, but 'it passes'. After completing the moves, I immediately noticed a marked improvement, I could stand up without feeling the full vertigo. But I could still a little a little when I turned my head.

2) I sat down with my back and head straight and waited for 15 minutes.

3) I repeated the moves and again, it induced vertigo - but this time only a little vertigo. Waited for the vertigo to pass after each move and when I sat up - wow - big big differnece - not even a little sensation of spinning when I turned my head.

4) For the rest of the day I was careful not to look up or down or bend over to pick up something etc. If I had to turn my head I did it slowly. 

5) My balance did feel slightly strange for the rest of the day but no vertigo whatsoever. Went to sleep that night with my head reclined using 2 pillows - one was a wedge pillow I bought off Amazon.

So if like me you totally panic when your BVVP comes back and are terrified to do the moves in the video because it will induce vertigo, just remember that the Vertigo passes over you like a wave. Yes it feels unpleasant and scary, but be brave, hold on tight and LET IT PASS you - trust me it will pass within under a minute - don't try to fight it as this causes you to panic and panic makes anything feel 100 time worse than it actually is.

I am no longer terrified of my BPPV coming back because no I know exactly what to do when it does and I know that I can instantly fix it without the need for medication or a trip to the doctor.

Be brave everyone - let it pass you because it WILL pass you - I promise!

Thank you Dr. Ludlow

[markhardon]

I got cured by this exercise about 2 years ago, I just dropped by again to subscribe and like the video. Thanks a lot sir.

[evetejah]

This exercise is hard while your brain feels like it's spinning and your tummy wants to barf, but it does work. I get vertigo every few months and it's scary. If you know anyone who gets this, show them this exercise because it helps a lot. Thankful for this video !♡

[RobertRascon]

Dude! First time in my life I’ve felt this, I was worried it was something serious. Did your exercises 3 Times and it went away! Thank you so much!

[alishaqaiser]

The past week has been traumatizing, I did this exercise today 4 times and it completed cured my vertigo. Thank you so much!!!!

[sylart]

I was concerned about trying this because of the motion sickness that hits me when the spinning starts!! So I suffered with vertigo symptoms for almost two weeks!! The longest I’ve ever had to deal with it!! But I realized that if I found something to focus my eyes on, (I mean really lock on it), I could control the spinning and it would subside quickly!! That gave me the confidence to try this!!! I’m so glad that I did, because it worked the very first time, as opposed to days of multiple maneuvers!!! Thank you so much for posting this!!! It’s amazingly effective!!!

I know there's so many comments proving that this does work but I'm here to say the same thing too bc this literally saved me from dizziness while laying down when I'd switch positions. Laying down in these past few days hasn't been pleasant and I thought I needed to see the doctor. Thank God for Google and this video. Thanks Doc! I can't thank you enough for sharing this video. Now I can sleep peaceful without feeling dizzy

[rosemarycalabro]

Oh my god, I’ve been suffering for 3 weeks and was convinced this was something I just had to live with. I didn’t want to go to a doctor because it’s the middle of a pandemic so I finally searched and found this video. I only did the exercise twice but am already feeling so much better. Thank you for posting such a clear and easy to follow video!

7:30 out of bed - woops !!!! room spinning and stomach not in good shape. Careful Careful - to the kitchen and a cup of tea. 8:15 on the google machine and found your Video. Two cycles of your procedure. 9:15 - on the road doing my daily jog. UNBELIEVABLE !!! 23:28 all day, no sign of reoccurrence - thought I better send you a thanks. THANK YOU SO

[thomasculp]

I had just felt dizzy yesterday and today and had to sit out of my sports practice because of this dizziness. Diagnosed myself with vertigo and watched this video, and after just one round of this exercise, it was GONE! Thank you so much!

[AlbertoHernandez-qxrc]

This has really changed my life ! I went two times to the ER and they said I had vertigo but they didn’t really know how to treat it but gave me motion sickness pills . This video has helped me out a lot ! Still get it from time to time but a lot less now . Hate vertigo!!!! I’m 33 years of age .

[jonathanburt]

THIS FREAKING WORKS!!!! I went 4 weeks of suffering before learning this method I was going crazy literally thought I was dieing. One and done and have felt fine ever since! Only thing I can add is make sure you keep your head up the rest of the day even when you sleep to keep the crystals where they belong. Good luck and be safe to all ✌️✌️

[davidyang]

I've been feeling like crap for the last 4 days, did this once to my left side and I feel 80% better. Thanks for the video!

[Stephanie-mpoz]

This is amazing. I’ve suffered for over 48 hours with vertigo and throwing up. And after the first try this took about 70% of the spins away. I’m so shocked. Thank you 🙏

[elginjohnson]

That was a great video, I have been suffering from this problem for 8 months now and at 75 years old I thought the this was for the rest of my life. Thanks to your fix I can live again. Even take my boat out again. Thanks again Elgin
