How to Prepare

​

There is nothing specific that you have to prepare for.  Please wear clothing that will allow you to move freely from lying on your back to lying on your stomach.

​

What to expect

​

You will be moved into approximately 3 to 5 different positions in order to move the particles into another part of your inner ear.  There are different positions and maneuvers depending on the severity of the BPPV and the location of the dislodged particles.  During the maneuvers, each position is held for about 45 seconds or as long as the symptoms last. 

​

post-treatment instructions

You may feel a bit unsettled after the particle repositioning.  It is recommended that you bring someone to drive you home.  It is also recommended that you refrain from any strenuous activity (such as heavy lifting, bending down or looking up for long periods of time, etc) after the procedure.
