Meniere’s Disease is characterized by dizziness and a combination of nausea, inner ear pressure, low-frequency hearing loss, and tinnitis. The cause is unknown and as a result, treatments vary between drugs and surgery…often not producing the wanted outcome. Another option that most people wouldn’t think of is chiropractic. Research has shown that specific upper cervical chiropractic care can bring great results to those suffering from Meniere’s. The majority of the patients have a history of cervical (neck) trauma, often caused by an automobile accident, that has been left untreated. This causes the top bone in the neck to misalign and compromise the size of the neural canal space, affecting major centers of the spinal cord and brain, such as the medulla, cerebellum, and vertebral arteries. More information and details can be found here. Just like anything else, chiropractic may not be the answer for everyone but with its great track record, isn’t it worth a shot?
