1. Rapid manual reduction method for posterior semicircular canal otolithiasis : Let the patient lie flat, tilt his head back, and if dizziness occurs when the head tilts to the right, it can be diagnosed as right-sided posterior semicircular canal otolithiasis. The reduction method is as follows: ① The patient lies on the right side with legs curled up and knees bent. ② After the dizziness is relieved, the operator places his hands on both sides of the patient's head, and the patient holds the operator's left forearm with both hands. Using the patient's right hip as the axis point, quickly turn the patient 180 degrees to the left side lying position and maintain this position for about 5 minutes.

2. Rapid manual reduction method for superior semicircular canal otolithiasis: Those who experience dizziness when lying flat on their back and tilting their head back can be diagnosed with superior semicircular canal otolithiasis. The operating steps for superior semicircular canal otolithiasis: ① The patient lies flat on a flat bed with his head flush with the headboard at one end and his legs naturally separated and hanging on both sides of the treatment bed. Be careful not to make the bed too wide. ②The operator stands on the left side of the patient, places his right hand on the patient's pillow and his left hand on the forehead, and uses the buttocks as the axis point to let the patient sit up quickly.

3. Rapid manual reduction of lateral semicircular canal otolithiasis: When the patient lies flat on his back and develops vertigo when lying on his left side, it is left lateral semicircular canal otolithiasis, and vice versa on the right side. Taking right external semicircular canal otolithiasis as an example, the operation steps are as follows: ① The patient lies on his right side on a wide bed. ② After the dizziness is relieved, the operator stands behind the patient, pulls the patient's right hand with his right hand, and quickly rolls the patient to the left side lying position, maintaining this position for about 5 minutes.
