Modified Semont maneuver for self-treatment of positional vertigo (right)

• Sit on the edge of the bed, with room on both sides of you. Turn your head 45 degrees to the left. This is looking halfway between straight ahead and over your left shoulder.
• Quickly lie down on your right side with your head still turned to the left so you are looking up at the ceiling. Hold this position for 30 seconds or until any dizziness goes away.
• Quickly sit up, and lie down on your left side without stopping in the middle to sit upright. Keep your head turned to 45 degrees to the left while changing positions. When you are on your left side, your head will face partly toward the bed or floor. Hold this position for 30 seconds or until any dizziness goes away. Then, sit upright.

Your doctor or therapist will tell you whether and how often to repeat this.
