- Hearing tests. These can help show if you’ve lost hearing in one ear or if your hearing fluctuates.
- Balance tests. These can help determine if you have problems with your balance.
- MRI or CT scan. These imaging tests can rule out other conditions that cause similar symptoms, such as a brain tumor.

Upper Cervical Care and Meniere"s Disease
One promising alternative treatment for Meniere’s disease is upper cervical care. If you or someone you know suffers from Meniere's disease, upper cervical care may be the answer you've been looking for.
Upper Cervical Care is a specific type of chiropractic care that focuses on the upper cervical spine (neck). The theory behind it is that if the top bones in the neck are misaligned, it can put pressure on the brainstem and inner ear, which can then lead to problems like Meniere’s disease. One study found that upper cervical care was effective in reducing symptoms in 88% of Meniere’s disease patients. The study also found that the majority of patients experienced a significant improvement in their quality of life after starting upper cervical care. Upper cervical care is a type of alternative treatment that is showing promise for those with Meniere’s disease.
The C1 vertebrae is a key bone in the neck that helps keep your brain functioning properly. If it's misaligned, you might experience symptoms like dizziness or difficulty breathing because of improper signals being sent from this area to our brains about body position itself- resulting ultimately sicker! You could also have problems with both eustachian tube function as well mental health issues such as confusion.
Upper cervical problems can be really debilitating, so we'll let you know if your symptoms indicate an issue. We need to do some work on the upper bones in order for them not to obstruct communication between the ear canal and the brain; this will help with the normal movement of muscles throughout one's body again!
At our office, we have helped many people find drug-free relief from this debilitating condition. Upper cervical care may not be the only answer for everyone, but it has shown great promise in bringing relief.
