Richard Semont
Richard Semont is a psychiatrist known for developing the "Semont maneuver," a therapeutic technique used to treat benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), a common inner ear disorder causing dizziness. The Semont maneuver involves a series of specific head movements performed by a healthcare professional to reposition tiny ear crystals that disrupt balance, helping alleviate vertigo symptoms quickly and safely. His work has significantly improved non-invasive treatment options for patients suffering from vertigo, making management of the condition more effective and reducing reliance on medication.
