Semont Maneuver

The Semont Maneuver is a treatment for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), a condition that causes brief episodes of dizziness when changing head positions. This maneuver involves quickly moving the person from a sitting position to lying on one side, then swiftly flipping to the other side while keeping the head tilted downwards. This sequence helps dislodge tiny crystals in the inner ear that disrupt balance and cause vertigo. It typically alleviates symptoms and restores normal balance. The maneuver is usually performed by a healthcare professional and can often lead to immediate relief of dizziness.
