I was quite surprised to find my home health patient in a neck brace on my visit to his home. He had seen his neurologist who was concerned about seizure activity related to an old head injury, but also was concerned regarding vertigo. My client has never expressed any vertigo related complaints. He said he did this Epley's maneuver on him, and had to wear the brace on his neck for the next 48 hours, then 12 hours a day until he returns to MD appoint in a week..
I found a website for Dr. Epley.. I really have never heard of such a thing.. how about you??
