Chronic vertigo is a debilitating condition that can completely alter a person's quality of life. In 1984, Dr. John Epley, an ENT surgeon, developed a simple, anyone-can-do-this maneuver that cures (yes, cures) the condition more than 95% of the time. But did the medical establishment leap at this development, given its reach and effectiveness?

Nope.

Physiotherapist Margaret Wilding Joins RC to talk about the procedure and Dr Epley, and why things didn't quite go as expected for this revolutionary medical maneuver.

Here are some resources on the Epley maneuver:
