* Slowly move your head to the opposite side
* Turn your body so that it is in line with your head. You will be lying on your side with your head and body facing to the side
* Sit you upright
Your provider may need to repeat these steps a few times.
In addition to this maneuver, vertigo is also successfully treated with manipulations of the neck and ears, dry needling, and trigger point work.
