2.5 Million Shares Online: American Doctor's Winning Tip for Dizziness Treatment
What do you know about vertigo? An American doctor has developed a quick method for treating the dizziness problem that many around the world suffer from, and it simply works.
When discussing the concept of dizziness, one of the most common phenomena in the world is vertigo - a severe dizziness sensation that millions of people around the world suffer from.
Some facts about vertigo you may not know:
- Vertigo gives a feeling of rotational motion, similar to those times when we spun around as children. Sometimes the person feels like they are the ones spinning, and sometimes it is the surroundings that appear to be 'spinning'.
- Such dizziness indicates some disturbance in the balance system (vestibular system), often starting in the inner ear.
- Causes of vertigo vary and are diverse: it can be due to inflammation of the vestibular nerve caused by viral infections, and the displacement of crystals in the balance organ - a condition that leads to frequent dizziness with every position change, pressure in the inner ear which can create problems - and from there to noises in the ear and reduced hearing quality, the transition is short.

- The duration of vertigo varies from person to person, but will usually appear in short attacks ranging from a few seconds to a few minutes. This is unlike Meniere's disease, which involves prolonged vertigo that can range from hours to days and is usually accompanied by hearing loss.
A study conducted in the U.S. shows that 40% of the population complained of vertigo at least once in their lives, but bringing a refreshing breeze of recovery to the field is none other than Dr. Carol Foster - who has managed to help her patients suffering from vertigo in an extraordinary way. Dr. Foster developed a method she presented in a YouTube video that quickly became viral, gaining over 2.5 million views.
And now for the tip: "The Half-Somersault Maneuver" - this is how Dr. Foster names her method for treating vertigo, and what it essentially means is you need to lower your head onto a mat as if you are about to do a somersault. "Next, you need to look at your left elbow, wait for the dizziness to pass, and then slowly lift your head to the level of your back," explains Dr. Foster while demonstrating on one of the patients.
Afterwards, slowly rise to a seated position and repeat the exercise as needed.
