Traditional treatment for Meniere’s disease involves medication, injections into the ear, and possibly even surgery in severe cases. However, physicians still struggle even to understand the cause of Meniere’s. This is a key element in receiving the proper care.

How Is the Upper Spine Related to Meniere’s Disease?
The spine is responsible for protecting the spinal cord, which acts as the body’s highway for carrying signals to and from the brain. When the top bones of the spine are misaligned, this can affect both the spinal cord and the brainstem. Vertigo, tinnitus, a feeling of fullness in the affected ear, and other Meniere’s symptoms may result.
At N8 Upper Cervical, we employ the NUCCA technique to detect and correct upper cervical misalignments in a precise and gentle manner. Low force corrections mean long-lasting adjustments that give the body the time it needs to heal.
It’s no wonder that one study showed 136 out of 139 Meniere’s patients saw significant benefits after receiving upper cervical chiropractic care. Vertigo and nausea were the symptoms that were reduced the most. We strive to provide similar positive results for our patients.
