  • Canalith repositioning maneuvers are one of the most common treatments for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), a condition caused by inner ear disorders that affect balance.
  • The procedure helps ease vertigo symptoms such as dizziness and spinning sensations.
  • Patients can expect a series of specific head movements and positions during treatment, followed by simple aftercare instructions to prevent symptoms from returning.
  • At NY Neurology Associates in New York, we specialize in diagnosing vertigo and providing personalized care for each patient. Our team uses advanced vestibular testing and proven techniques, such as the Epley maneuver and canalith repositioning procedures, to help you find relief.

Canalith Repositioning Maneuver

Canalith repositioning maneuvers are used in the treatment of vertigo. The majority of the time, vertigo is caused by issues in the inner ear. Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo occurs when a person moves their head. 

The condition is the result of a piece of the inner ear falling into the ear canal. The canalith repositioning maneuver moves the fallen piece of the inner ear into a place where it will not result in symptoms of dizziness and vertigo.

Before the Procedure

Your doctor will provide personalized instructions before the procedure. Typically, no special preparations are required for the maneuver. It is suggested that patients wear nonrestrictive clothing so that they are able to move freely during the maneuvers.

During the Procedure

Your health care provider will help you through several positions that will be held for a period of time. Positions may be repeated within a treatment session. Some sessions may include the use of an imaging device over your eyes based on your needs and your doctor’s discretion. 

During the procedure, you can expect:

  • Moving from a seated position to a reclined position. Your doctor or technician will help you position your head at the appropriate angle.
  • From the previous position, you will be guided to turn your head to a 90-degree angle.
  • Your doctor or technician will help you roll onto your stomach and turn your head to a new angle.
  • You will be returned to a seated position.

 

These maneuvers may be repeated during the session. After the treatment, you will be required to keep your head above shoulder level, including while sleeping. 

Your doctor will give you specialized instructions about what symptoms to monitor and how to check to see if the procedure worked. You may be given additional exercises to do at home.
