Vertigo and Dizziness: New Treatment Device

Many people suffer from Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), which involves a sudden spinning feeling, which can result in nausea, vomiting, and falling. Recently, an effective, inexpensive home treatment device has been developed by ear, nose, and throat specialists at Clearwater Clinical Limited, based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The device allows patients to perform the BPPV treatment maneuvers (discovered in 1992) that are normally administered by ENT specialists and trained physicians.
