How is BPPV treated?
BPPV has often been described as “self-limiting” because symptoms often subside or disappear within six months of onset. Motion sickness medications are sometimes helpful in controlling the nausea associated with BPPV but are otherwise rarely effective. However, various kinds of physical maneuvers and exercises have proved effective. Three varieties of conservative treatments involve exercises, and another involves surgery. The main method of treatment is the Canalith Repositioning Maneuver (CRM). This treatment moves the rocks back into place. It is a non-invasive, one-time procedure. The CRM is a series of head positions that moves the crystals into a less sensitive part of your inner ear, where they can quickly be absorbed.
