plural Epley maneuvers
medical
: a procedure to treat benign paroxysmal positional vertigo that involves manipulating the head in a series of distinct movements in order to reposition calcium carbonate crystals of the inner ear that have become dislodged from the utricle and entered the semicircular canals
The Epley maneuver repositions the crystals so they no longer interfere with normal balance mechanisms.—Andrew Weil
