Epley Manoeuvre to treat BPPV

The Epley manoeuvre is an exercise performed to treat a type of vertigo called benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). BPPV is caused by a problem in the inner ear. It is often associated with older age, but things like head injuries or viral infections and stress can also cause it. The Epley manoeuvre can be carried out by an audiologist or doctor to relieve symptoms. Please contact us to make an appointment if you are experiencing any dizziness which comes about with movement of the head. We are able to treat this.
