vertigo & ear crystals

My mom has experienced occasional vertigo for a long time, but it must have gotten worse lately. A doctor recommended physical therapy. I'd have never thought physical therapy could help with vertigo.

But from what the doctor told my mom, which matches up with what I've read now, there are crystals in the ears which can get out of their normal place, and this causes the vertigo. Special movements can be done to get them to go back into their normal place, thereby relieving the vertigo.
