Depends.: Vertigo is a phantom sensation usually due to imbalance of the activity of the bilateral balance end organs of the inner ears. It can also be due to the brain failing to interpret signals properly. Vertigo can be curable but more often it is treatable or manageable. Sometimes it can't be helped at all. It really depends on the exact cause and severity.

Meniere's Disease causes vertigo and is not curable but can be managed. It's cause is not clear. Vertigo can be central and due to brain disease. Anything from a stroke to a tumor.
