Has anybody heard of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, or BPPV? Is this common with people with PCS? Does the treatment work?

I have heard about the Epley maneuver or "modified Epley" where they do a series of these maneuvers to dislodge the crystals. I have not had it done though.

We have had many on NT who have had success with the Epley Maneuver or other variants. You can watch a YouTube video of the Epley maneuver.

I had this done and it really worked. After my fall I had vertigo, was treated a couple of times by my p.t. The immediate after affects weren't all that great (thowing up) but the vertigo is gone, now its just regular dizziness!
