Alternative Treatments for Vertigo
Understanding Vertigo and Its Root Causes
Vertigo is a common condition characterised by a spinning sensation, often described by sufferers as if the room is moving or tilting around them. While it can stem from various causes, a large proportion of vertigo cases are linked to a condition called Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). BPPV arises when tiny calcium crystals—known as canaliths—become dislodged from the utricle in the inner ear and migrate into the semicircular canals. This interferes with the body’s balance signals, leading to dizziness, nausea, and disorientation.
The Epley Manoeuvre: A Targeted Approach to BPPV
Developed by Dr. John Epley, the Epley manoeuvre is a clinically proven method used to reposition these rogue crystals. Through a sequence of gentle, strategic head movements, the manoeuvre encourages the crystals to exit the semicircular canals and return to their correct place in the utricle, where they can no longer trigger false balance signals.
This technique is typically performed by trained healthcare professionals, although some variations have been adapted for home use. Many patients report near-instant relief, while others may need several sessions to notice a reduction in symptoms. However, simply performing the Epley manoeuvre without addressing underlying nervous system imbalances or related muscular tension may offer only partial relief.

Unique, Integrated Treatment Method
At Back2Normal Clinic in Burnley, we’ve developed a more comprehensive approach to treating vertigo, inspired by the Epley manoeuvre but enhanced through years of clinical experience. By integrating therapeutic techniques from multiple disciplines—including manual therapy, neuromuscular stimulation, and nervous system regulation—we offer an alternative treatment that supports the whole body, not just the inner ear.
This holistic method addresses:
The mechanical repositioning of inner ear crystals
Nervous system overstimulation and stress responses
Influences that contribute to recurring vertigo episodes
By tailoring each session to your individual needs, we aim not just to treat symptoms, but to address root causes and promote long-term resilience.

Why Choose a Holistic Vertigo Treatment?
The traditional medical model often focuses on symptom management through pharmaceuticals or isolated physical techniques. While these can be effective, many clients report recurring bouts of vertigo, especially when the nervous system remains in a heightened or dysregulated state.
Our multi-modality therapy approach helps:
Reduce reliance on medication
Relieve tension in the neck and upper back (common in vertigo sufferers)
Calm the vagus nerve and parasympathetic nervous system
Improve balance, proprioception, and spatial awareness
Decrease anxiety associated with recurring dizziness
This makes our therapy particularly well-suited to individuals who prefer a natural, side-effect-free option or who have not responded well to standalone methods.
