The crystals in the inner ear are sensitive to gravity and will cause the eye
movement and the vertigo as the patient is tilted back.

Fortunately, as the patient is tilted back, the crystals drift back into their original
position and the vertigo symptoms are resolved.

'Get better physical therapy'

at Medical Arts Rehabilitation, Inc.
These videos explain the source of your dizziness and vertigo and how physical therapy can help.  

Physical therapists are appropriate providers for treatment of vertigo because of the high success rate
and the low risk of harm (minimal side effects).

'Ear rocks' or crystals can get mis-placed due to fluctuating allergies, trauma to the head or sinus
conditions.

The bony anatomy of the inner ear, called the labyrinth , is responsible for sensing angular motion, such
as turning your head.  

Just as the 'ear rocks' can get mis-placed they can get replaced by specific movements by the physical
therapist.

Physical therapists can perform a simple and safe test to decide which ear to treat.

The treatment takes about fifteen minutes.
