It is known for:

  • Severe vertigo
  • Tinnitus – ringing in the ears
  • A feeling of fullness in the affected ear
  • Hearing loss that can become permanent if not cared for

Those suffering from Meniere’s can often only think about when the next attack will occur and searching for a way to find long-lasting relief. If one seeks care from his family physician, the following will often be suggested:

  • Injections: Corticosteroids or antibiotics are often put into the middle ear and may help with vertigo. However, the risk of hearing loss increases with this type of care.
  • Dietary changes: It is often recommended to limit salt intake in order to reduce fluid retention. Others claim that avoiding alcohol, caffeine, and chocolate can help.
  • Medications: Given for specific symptoms, such as dizziness, medicine can often shorten the Meniere’s episode.
  • Surgery: Sometimes recommended in order to decompress the endolymphatic sac in the ear.

While these suggestions help some to control their Meniere’s symptoms, the ideal way to care for this condition is to address the root cause and attain long-lasting results.

How Upper Cervical Chiropractic Can Help Meniere’s Sufferers

A link has been seen between Meniere’s disease and a misalignment in the top bone of the spine, called the atlas or C1 vertebra. If this bone is misaligned, stress may be placed on the brainstem, negatively affecting the central nervous system.

Here at our Spring Lake Park, Minnesota office, we use dedicated x-rays and modern technological advances to find exactly where a patient’s misalignment may lie. Then we use a gentle method to help realign these bones naturally. This does not require forcing the spine into place by cracking or popping it. Once proper alignment is achieved, communication is restored throughout the body, and many patients have reported seeing an improvement in Meniere’s symptoms, especially vertigo.
