Mrs. EDJ just had this done in late July. She fell early in July and hit her noggin pretty good. After CT at the ER checked negative for concussion, but she had a traumatic onset of vertigo that was constant whether sitting, standing, or lying down.

The PCP set up an MRI, but in the meantime, referred her to a physical therapist for an Epley Maneuver thinking that there were "crystals" loose in her inner ear.

We are not medical field people, but we are well educated. We had never heard of the Epley maneuver, muchness "crystals" in your ear. Sounded "new age-y" to us.

Anyhow, we mentioned this to a few people in our social circle, and one is a DNP. Not just a Ph.D. in Nursing, but an NP with a doctorate. Anyhow, she and others told us how it had worked miraculously for people they knew. Not always, but often enough. There was something to these loose "crystals" in the ear.

Mrs. EDJ went to the PT. The Epley maneuver took about 2 minutes. It consisted of sitting on a medical table. She was directed to do a few different things, like turn her head to the left and lay back slowly, then sit up rapidly, then repeat with her head turned to the right, etc. Stuff like that. All non-invasive.

She came home from the appointment without much improvement. The next day did not bring much improvement either. However, the second day forward and all the way until today (almost 6 weeks later) the vertigo is gone and has not returned.

Hope this helps.
