There are actually 3 sets of semicircular canals that can have these loose crystals so the Epley is good for only one set. There are other maneuvers but they are less well known. “Log roll” for example https://dizziness-and-balance.com/disorders/bppv/LC/log_roll.htm
Also if you are tending to have crystals get loose often you may be better to do repeated stimulation to “desensitize” like how a skater doesn’t get dizzy from spinning etc.
Balance is a complex undertaking involving brain interpretation of signals from nerves as well as the semicircular canals in the inner ear which detect rotation and acceleration. The “loose crystals” is what responds to Epley or other maneuvers. If you can make yourself dizzy then one form of treatment is to repeatedly perform the motion. If you do a set of motion 10 times it will be most intense the first time and with each repetition if it decreases then you can eventually desensitize yourself to the sensation.

Desensitized is part of “vestibular (balance system) rehab. https://www.webmd.com/brain/what-are-cawthorne-cooksey-exercises
