Why?

You may be wondering why I have placed so much emphasis on the Epley Maneuver.

First, research has showed that the patient suffering from dizziness is the one most likely to react badly to a chiropractic adjustment. Only three times in nearly 30 years have I had a patient react very badly to an upper cervical adjustment. All three were complaining of dizziness. All three recovered completely with no undue lasting effects, but it was not pleasant.
Secondly, if the problem is in the Semi-circular canals, an adjustment is not likely to help nearly as much, if at all, compared to this Maneuver.
Thirdly, on a personal note, I suffer from vertigo myself every few months. A couple of Epleys, taking perhaps two minutes, and the problem is over. Nothing could be simpler, safer and more effective.
