A condition that affects the vestibular system, Meniere’s disease generally presents with 4 specific symptoms.
- Vertigo – These episodes recur and result in a feeling that the room is spinning. A person may lose their balance or experience nausea and vomiting.
- Loss of Hearing – As Meniere’s progress hearing may come and go. Eventually, some of the hearing loss can become permanent.
- Tinnitus – Meniere’s causes a ringing in the ears that ranges from mild to very loud and disruptive.
- A feeling of pressure or fullness in the ear – This is a result of changes to the fluid in the ear.
Many things can affect the delicate balance of the inner ear. If there is a change in the volume of fluid in the ear, or if the amount of pressure or chemical makeup changes, the symptoms of Meniere’s can result. Research from one US University has linked Meniere’s disease with other health conditions that involve a reduction in the flow of blood to the brain (migraines, for example). This presents an opportunity to seek natural relief.
How an Upper Cervical Chiropractor Can Help
Because Meniere’s disease has been linked to blood flow, upper cervical alignment is a must for anyone suffering from the symptoms of Meniere’s. The C1 and C2 vertebrae have to be aligned properly , or blood flow to the brain can be reduced.
Miguel Flores, DC and Gabriel Flores, DC are upper cervical chiropractors in Manila, Philippines. These chiropractors are trained to diagnose and correct upper cervical misalignments. After such a correction, you may find that the symptoms of your Meniere’s disease lessen in severity or resolve altogether.
