Canalith Repositioning Procedure Treatment in India

Aarav Patel, a 42-year-old software engineer and father of two, had always been active. His world turned upside down six months ago when he experienced his first intense vertigo attack while looking up to fix a shelf. The room spun violently, he broke into a cold sweat, and he vomited. These episodes became triggered by simple actions: rolling over in bed, tilting his head back to shave, or bending down to tie his shoes. He lived in constant fear of the next attack, which made him anxious and withdrawn, avoiding driving and playing with his kids. His ENT, Dr. Sharma, diagnosed Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) after observing characteristic nystagmus during a Dix-Hallpike test. She recommended the Canalith Repositioning Procedure (Epley maneuver), explaining it as a series of guided head movements to reposition dislodged inner ear crystals. During the 15-minute in-office procedure, Aarav felt intense but brief vertigo as Dr. Sharma moved his head through the positions. He was instructed to sleep semi-upright that night and avoid sudden head movements for 48 hours. Within a week, the positional vertigo was completely gone. The emotional relief was profound. Aarav felt like he had his life back, he could play on the floor with his children without dread and return to his morning runs, filled with gratitude and a newfound appreciation for stability.
