Canalith Repositioning Procedures

Canalith repositioning procedures are treatments designed to help people with certain types of dizziness, specifically benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). In BPPV, tiny crystals in the inner ear become dislodged and cause false sensations of spinning when the head moves. During these procedures, a trained therapist guides the patient through a series of specific head and body movements. These maneuvers aim to reposition the dislodged crystals back into their proper location in the inner ear, reducing dizziness and restoring balance. Typically, the process is quick and can significantly improve symptoms.
