How can position vertigo be treated?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Physical therapy: Most common cause of positional vertigo is loose calcium particles inside the inner ear. Sometimes it fixes itself but if not then physical therapy to reposition them is next option. Diagnosis is often abbreviated bppv.
