Treatment for Vertigo:
*Treatment for vertigo depends on what's causing it. 
*In many cases, vertigo goes away without any treatment. 
*This is because your brain is able to adapt, at least in part, to the inner ear changes, relying on other mechanisms to maintain balance.
Vestibular rehabilitation:
1)This is a type of physical therapy aimed at helping strengthen the vestibular system. 2) The function of the vestibular system is to send signals to the brain about head and body movements relative to gravity.
Canalith repositioning maneuvers: 
1)Guidelines from the American Academy of Neurology recommend a series of specific head and body movements for BPPV.
2) The movements are done to move the calcium deposits out of the canal into an inner ear chamber so they can be absorbed by the body.
3)You will likely have vertigo symptoms during the procedure as the canaliths move.
Medicine:
1) In some cases, medication may be given to relieve symptoms such as nausea or motion sickness associated with vertigo.
2)if vertigo is caused by an infection or inflammation, antibiotics or steroids may reduce swelling and cure infection.
3) For Meniere's disease, diuretics (water pills) may be prescribed to reduce pressure from fluid buildup.
Surgery :
1)In a few cases, surgery may be needed for vertigo.
2) f vertigo is caused by a more serious underlying problem, such as a tumor or injury to the brain or neck, treatment for those problems may help to alleviate the vertigo.
