Chiropractic Care for Meniere's Disease: A Natural Approach

Meniere's disease is most commonly found in adults who are in their 40's and 50's. This disorder affects the inner ear and causes vertigo, hearing loss, pressure and ringing of the ear. Alternative treatments like chiropractic care may be beneficial for some Meniere's disease patients.

Chiropractic Care

• Chiropractors are concerned with proper musculoskeletal alignment, and believe that many ailments, including Meniere's disease, can see dramatic improvement from realigning the body to its correct position.

Improper Neck Curvature

• Patients suffering from Meniere's disease may have a condition, according to Michael Burcon D.C., that causes the head to project forward and prevents the neck from curving properly. Chiropractic manipulation can effectively treat this condition.

Decreased Cerebrospinal Fluid

• Michael Burcon, D.C., records that another problem, consistent with the non-curvature of the spine and neck, is the reduction in the normal flow of both cerebrospinal fluid and blood from the brain.

Improving Fluid Flow

• Adjusting the neck to its proper curvature increases the flow of cerebrospinal fluid and the flow of blood, thus reliving the symptoms of Meniere's disease.

Adjusting the Pelvis

• Adjusting a patient's pelvis may also help to restore the proper curvature of the spine and relieve symptoms of Meniere's disease.
