Liberacorpus counteracts Levicorpus.

Pronunciation

lib-er-ah-COR-pus (IPA: [lɪˌb.ɛ.ɹæ.'kɔɹ.pɪs]

Seen/Mentioned

Harry Potter used the spell in 1996 to counteract the Levicorpus spell he inadvertently cast on Ron Weasley.

Etymology

Latin liberare, "to free", and corpus, "body".

Notes

It is not clear why Levicorpus has a specific counter-spell, and is not neutralized by simply using Finite Incantatem, although this could be due to the fact that Severus Snape invented the spell and therefore made it irreversible except by its specific counter-curse.
