Loss of Balance Treatment in India

James Ali, a 68-year-old retired carpenter, had always been steady on his feet, building homes for decades. Over the past year, he began experiencing sudden, violent spinning sensations, especially when rolling over in bed or looking up at a shelf. These episodes, lasting less than a minute, were terrifying and made him afraid to do simple tasks. He felt dizzy and nauseous, and had started avoiding driving and social outings, fearing a fall. His ENT specialist, after a detailed history and physical exam, diagnosed him with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). The doctor recommended a simple in-office treatment called the Epley maneuver, a series of head-positioning movements to reposition dislodged inner ear crystals. During the procedure, James lay on the exam table as the doctor guided his head through specific positions, triggering a brief but intense bout of vertigo. It was uncomfortable and unsettling, but quick. Within a week, the violent spinning spells had completely stopped. His balance returned. James felt a profound sense of relief and regained confidence. He went from feeling vulnerable and housebound to reclaiming his independence, able to garden and visit his grandchildren without fear.
