Ménière's Disease Treatment Manhattan - Specific Chiropractic Solutions
Living in Manhattan, if you have been grappling with the life-altering symptoms of Ménière's disease, you are well acquainted with the tormenting episodes of vertigo, hearing impairment, tinnitus, and that sensation of fullness in your ears. As Dr. Suh, I know how these symptoms can incapacitate your ability to function normally. My Manhattan patients have been able to control their Ménière's disease and live life without the persistent anxiety of sudden vertigo attacks through meticulous Gonstead chiropractic adjustment techniques along with specific lifestyle changes.
Schedule Your ConsultationHow Is My Treatment For Ménière's Disease Different
For most health practitioners treating Ménière's Disease, the primary goal is to alleviate the symptom, a method that involves the use of medications that might reduce the symptoms, but never seek an explanation for the reasoning behind these episodes. At Specific Chiropractic, I wholeheartedly embrace the methodology that focuses on the critical relationship between the upper cervical spine and the functioning of the ear.
The atlas and axis, or C1 and C2 vertebrae, are critical to the proper drainage of the inner ear as well as the uninterrupted flow of cerebrospinal fluid. These vertebrae are often triggered by misalignment, pushing them closer than a few millimeters. This pressure can compress necessary nerves and blood flow that directly influence the inner ear.
What makes my practice unique is the Gonstead technique focus on precision. Unlike general chiropractic adjustments, Gonstead adjustments are vertebrae specific; they isolate only the misaligned vertebrae and do not adjust the whole spine. While precision is usually important in medicine, it is crucial when treating Ménière's disease, due to the fragile structures involved.
Research is increasingly showing the relation between upper cervical misalignments and the symptoms for Ménière's disease. The vagus nerve, which directly runs through the upper cervical region, plays a large role in controlling functions such as ear pressure and fluid drainage.
My Comprehensive Treatment Process
Initial Consultation and Examination ($300)
On the first visit, my Manhattan office patients undergo an exhaustive evaluation that spans from an hour to an hour and a half. You will never feel rushed because you are treated as an individual, not just another number. I will leave no stone unturned looking into your health history, including the intricate details of your Ménière's symptoms and their ramifications on your daily activities.
The examination involves orthopedic and neurological testing for upper cervical disorders. I analyze your upper cervical spine using modern digital X-ray systems to see if there are any misalignments. These are not normal X-rays. They are taken at certain angles which permit me to calculate misalignments with extreme accuracy.
Precision Gonstead Adjustments
After evaluating the specific misalignments associated with your Ménière's disease, I utilize the Gonstead technique with accurate and gentle methods. The Gonstead method is unique unlike some other chiropractic techniques that involve turning and rotating the whole spine. Only the affected vertebrae are adjusted to the proper levels.
With regard to sufferers of Ménière's disease, it involves gentle specific adjustments to the upper cervical region. These steps have been crafted specifically to help restore the alignment and movement of your spine, which subsequently sharpens nerve activity and blood circulation to the inner structures of the ear.
Lifestyle and Exercise Modifications
While powerful, chiropractic adjustments work best when integrated with appropriate lifestyle changes. I collaborate with each patient suffering from Ménière's disease to understand the precise triggers which may be intensifying the symptoms, and design tailored plans aimed at reducing their particular triggers.
This may include giving dietary instructions aimed at managing low sodium intake as well as identifying the possible offending foods which may be leading to retention of fluids. In addition, I give instructions on exercises aimed at improving balance, strengthening the muscles responsible for maintaining optimal spinal posture, as well as enhancing stability.
