For people who suffer from Meniere’s disease, vertigo has become an unfortunate part of life.  Vertigo attacks are episodes of the sensation of severe spinning, and in Meniere’s sufferers can last up to 24 hours.  More severe vertigo attacks can be accompanied by nausea or vomiting as well.1

Although there is no cure for Meniere’s disease, treatments are aimed at controlling the very uncomfortable symptoms of vertigo.  Treatment may include2:

  • A low salt diet and a diuretic (water pill)
  • Anti-vertigo medication
  • Injections into the inner ear
  • Surgery

Recommended lifestyle changes look at reducing salt, caffeine, and alcohol intake, smoking cessation, and maintaining a healthy diet.  While these treatments may help to take the edge off of an attack already in progress, they do not address the possible reason why they are occurring.

 

Upper Cervical Chiropractic Gives Natural Solution to Meniere’s disease

In Kissimmee, Florida people are seeking out the very specific care that Dr. Scott Pancake provides at his upper cervical chiropractic clinic.   Dr. Pancake has a thorough understanding of how a misalignment of the bones in the upper neck can be affecting structures that may be at the source of the many symptoms of Meniere’s disease.

The atlas and the axis (the uppermost vertebrae in the neck) have the important job of protecting the brainstem, and when they are off position, can reduce neurological function and blood flow to the brain, now thought to be a contributing factor in Meniere’s suffers.3

Dr. Pancake’s adjustments are extremely precise and delivered only when necessary.  Restoration of normal alignment to the upper cervical spine will allow the healing process to take place and normal function to return.  Time is of the essence for people with Meniere’s, since as the disease progresses for months or even years, the associated hearing loss may become permanent.

If you are seeking out a natural treatment option, and one that seeks to correct the underlying cause of your issues, then upper cervical chiropractic is an option worth exploring.
