Have you ever experienced a sudden attack of vertigo where it feels like the entire room is spinning?

But your dizziness isn't the only symptom.

Maybe you also have ringing in one ear.

Pressure or fullness in your ear.

Or changes in your hearing.

That combination of symptoms is commonly associated with a condition called Ménière’s disease.

Ménière’s disease is a disorder involving the inner ear that can cause episodes of vertigo along with tinnitus, ear fullness, and hearing changes.

But here's something important to understand about balance.

Your brain doesn't rely on your inner ear alone.

It constantly compares information coming from your eyes, your inner ears, and specialized receptors in your upper neck.

Those receptors tell your brain where your head is positioned in space.

When the information coming from these different systems doesn't coordinate properly, maintaining your sense of balance can become much more difficult.

That's why Upper Cervical Chiropractors evaluate the relationship between the upper neck and nervous system as part of the bigger balance picture.

Using precise imaging, we can determine whether an upper cervical misalignment is present and whether this area may deserve attention.

Upper Cervical Care doesn't replace evaluation or treatment for Ménière’s disease.

But if you're struggling with chronic vertigo and still searching for answers, your upper neck may be another piece of the puzzle worth investigating.
