Please don't put the cart before the horse.
First, see a neurologist and possibly an otolaryngologist to get a proper diagnosis as to the cause of his vertigo. Depending on the symptoms and physical findings he'll probably need an MRI, and possibly brainstem evoked potentials and vestibular testing. That should exclude most of the really, really bad causes.
Then, one possible treatment is the "Epley maneuver", many physical therapists are trained to perform it. In my experience it has been about a 50-50 proposition in terms of success. Hope he gets better.
Lastly, some good advice for everyone: Beware of "someone said something"
