Meniere’s Syndrome
Meniere’s Syndrome is characterized
by dizziness (vertigo) and a combination of four associated
symptoms: nausea, inner-ear pressure, low frequency hearing
loss and tinnitus.

The author found the same spinal subluxation (C-1 or atlas
posteriority) “causing the head to project forward” and
eliminating the cervical curve in the following patients:
16 Meniere’s syndrome, two Parkinson’s disease,
two Trigeminal neuralgia and two Bell’s Palsy. The
author hypothesizes that the atlas subluxation interfered
with the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) causing excessive
pressure in the brain and affecting midbrain function. This
subluxation appears to be associated with cervical trauma.
Case
histories of a sample of patients are given. The author writes: “When the atlas returns to [normal position],
the spinal cord relaxes…All 22 patients improved dramatically
after one or two adjustments under cervical specific chiropractic
care. ”

This paper
discusses three female patients diagnosed with Meniere's disease.
Years before the onset of symptoms, all three cases were involved
in automobile accidents, resulting in undiagnosed whiplash
injuries. The condition, which is poorly understood, responded
favorably to chiropractic care using an upper cervical approach
to reduce a specific subluxation complex. It is possible that
either Meniere's is not synonymous with endolymphatic hydrops,
or that it is commonly misdiagnosed.
