However vertigo is a serious disease as it increases the risk factor for some of the serious disorders such as strokes and tumors.

Treatment for vertigo caused by mis-positioning of calcium carbonate crystals. In the treatment the head has to be moved in such a manner to reposition the crystals and to give relief from the symptoms of imbalance.
