Epley Maneuver at Home for Vertigo: Exercises

Skip Navigation

Introduction

Vertigo is a spinning or whirling sensation when you move your head.

Your doctor may have moved you in different positions to help your vertigo get better faster. This is called the Epley maneuver. Your doctor also may have asked you to do these exercises at home.

Do the exercises as often as your doctor recommends. If your vertigo is getting worse, your doctor may have you change the exercise or stop it.

How it is done

Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.
