Vertigo is a Consequence, Not a Disease
The most common type of vertigo is BPPV. It occurs when calcium crystals in the inner ear escape into the balance canals. The patient feels as if the world is spinning rapidly when turning in bed or bending over.
Fast Non-Surgical Solution: Maneuvers
The definitive treatment is not medication, but "Repositioning Maneuvers" (like Epley) performed by the physician. Through specific head movements, the escaping crystals are seated back in place. Most patients are completely relieved of dizziness with a single session.
