The goal of this therapy is to improve the patient’s symptoms and maintain healthy inner ear function. Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy: This therapy uses exercises to strengthen the ear parts responsible for maintaining balance.Your doctor may recommend different types of exercise therapies depending on what is triggering your vertigo. Research also shows that people with BPPV respond well and get faster relief from vertigo after doing the maneuvers mentioned above ( 2), ( 3).
Daniel Boyer, MD, says, “Exercise helps to redistribute the calcium carbonate crystals in the inner ear.” The redistributed calcium carbonate crystals help maintain proper body balance. The repetitive movement during exercises helps manage the sudden symptoms of vertigo. However, if you have an ear infection or head trauma, consult a doctor and get medications before starting these exercises. You can perform these exercises every day under the supervision of an experienced physical therapist to reduce vertigo caused by BPPV.
If comfortable, you can move your head side-to-side and up and down while doing the leg balance.Lift your left foot off the floor, flex your knee, and balance your body weight on the right leg.You may hold a chair or a wall for support. Stand straight with your feet hip-width apart.
