Vertigo Relief, Dizziness Relief, Dizzy, Meniere’s Disease Relief, Vertigo, Dizziness, Meniere’s , Meniere’s Disease Meniere’s disease is a disorder of the inner ear. It is known for:

  • Vertigo – a false sensation of movement
  • Severe tinnitus – ringing in the ears
  • A feeling of fullness or pressure in the affected ear
  • Hearing loss that may become permanent if not cared for

The reason Meniere’s occurs has not been agreed upon. However, one thing that is behind it is the build-up of fluid within the inner ear. The hair-like sensors inside the ear depend on this fluid’s volume and pressure to help keep the body in balance. It works in harmony with the vestibular system that is responsible for balancing the body and letting the brain know where it is located in its environment.

Why does this fluid of the inner ear increase?

  • Allergies
  • Autoimmune issues
  • Problems with draining due to a blockage
  • Vestibular migraines
  • Being genetically disposed to fluid retention
  • Viral infections
  • Traumatic injury to the head or neck

It is important for those suffering from Meniere’s to be aware that there are certain things that may set off an attack. These triggers can be:

  • Alcohol
  • Salt
  • Caffeine
  • Tobacco
  • Patient-specific allergies

 

What Can Be Done to Alleviate Meniere’s Disease?

One area that is seeing great success in helping Meniere’s patients is that of upper cervical chiropractic care. This is a special form of chiropractic that does not require one to pop or crack the spine in order to realign the bones. Rather, a low force correction is used to help the top bones of the neck move back into place naturally. The root cause of this condition is often due to a misalignment of one of the two top bones of the neck. Once corrected, patients reported seeing a significant improvement in their symptoms, according to one study involving 139 people. We hope to provide the same results for our patients.
