Part 4: The Kurtzer Maneuver

Dizziness is not one size fits all. Treatment depends on accurate assessment and canal identification.

For certain cases of posterior canal BPPV, we may prescribe the half somersault maneuver, a gravity assisted repositioning technique that can be performed at home AFTER proper diagnosis and instruction.

If your symptoms are triggered by position, changes of a stim evaluation, can determine whether this approach is appropriate for you.

Another effective treatment for posterior canal BPPV is the Semont maneuver.

This technique uses rapid side-lying movements to reposition crystals and can be especially helpful in certain cases where symptoms persist.

Different presentation = different approach.
