Benign Paryoxysomal Positional Vertigo
This is the most common cause of vertigo with inner ear dysfunctions. Otoconia ("ear rocks") dislodge into your semiciruclar canals and make you feel like you are moving when you are not which may cause vertigo, dizziness, emesis, nausea and imbalance.
CRM (Canalith Repositioning Maneuever) is designed to get the ear crystalls out of your canals which is performed by your physical therapist by gently moving your body/head in certain positions to "flush out " the canals from debris.
