Val Chmerkovskiy Diagnosed With BPPV, Returns to DWTS Live Tour in Milwaukee

Doctors ruled out a brain tumor before clearing him to perform after vestibular therapy.

Overview

  • The Dancing With the Stars pro said he experienced severe vertigo for days and sought care in Peoria on March 1.
  • He missed the Peoria performance as clinicians ran tests, including blood work and vitals.
  • On March 3, he told fans the cause is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo and said it is not related to a prior neck injury.
  • Treatment included the Epley maneuver from the tour’s physical therapist, and he reported mild lingering symptoms.
  • After a scheduled day off, he said he would rejoin the tour Tuesday in Milwaukee, and outlets reported his return.
