Ear, Nose, Throat & MouthAbout this service
BPPV vertigo treatment using the Epley manoeuvre in Windhoek at Eastgate Clinic is a repositioning technique performed in our consulting rooms to treat benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, or BPPV, the most common cause of brief, spinning dizziness triggered by changes in head position. The manoeuvre involves a series of guided head and body movements designed to move tiny crystals in the inner ear back to where they belong, often bringing noticeable relief quickly.
Your doctor will first confirm that BPPV is the likely cause of your dizziness before proceeding, as other causes of vertigo are managed differently. Book a consultation if sudden spinning dizziness is affecting you.
