Video of Deep Head-Hanging to Treat BPPV (Superior Canal)



This is the fifth in a series of videos our practice is producing on inner ear dizziness. This video demonstrates how the Deep Head-Hanging maneuver is performed to treat superior (or anterior) canal BPPV. Also demonstrated is what happens within the inner ear when the maneuver is performed correctly. The first video was on how the inner ear balance system works which can be watched here.

The second video was on the Dix-Hallpike maneuver to diagnose BPPV and which canal type.

The third video was on the Epley maneuver to treat POSTERIOR canal BPPV.

The fourth video was on the Lempert maneuver to treat HORIZONTAL canal BPPV.

Soon to come is one more video specifically regarding treatment of Meniere's Disease.
