Upper Cervical Care for Meniere's Disease in Charlotte
What Does Meniere's Disease Have to do With the Top of Your Spine?
Most people are surprised to learn that symptoms like vertigo, ear fullness, tinnitus, and hearing fluctuations may originate in the upper neck.
The atlas (C1) and axis (C2) vertebrae protect the brainstem and house critical neurological pathways that influence balance, hearing, and fluid regulation in the inner ear.
When these vertebrae are misaligned—known as an upper cervical subluxation—they can disrupt nerve signaling between the brainstem and the vestibular system.
This miscommunication may alter blood flow, lymph drainage, and neurological input to the ear, contributing to the onset or severity of Meniere’s symptoms.

How Upper Cervical Care Works
A Precise, Non-Invasive Approach to Inner Ear Balance
Upper Cervical Care focuses on the precise detection and correction of misalignments at the top of the spine, specifically the atlas (C1) and axis (C2) vertebrae.
At Charlotte Family Chiropractic Clinic, Dr. Arthur Plesa begins by using spinal thermography, a non-invasive scan that detects abnormal heat patterns along the spine, helping to determine whether an upper cervical subluxation is disrupting the nervous system and contributing to a patient's condition.
If nerve interference is found, digital x-rays are then taken to analyze the exact direction and degree of misalignment in the upper cervical spine.
Using this detailed information, Dr. Plesa applies the Knee Chest Specific Chiropractic technique—a gentle, precise, and powerful adjustment method—to restore proper alignment, allowing the nervous system to function optimally and the body to heal naturally.
"We don't just chase symptoms- we correct the cause so your body can recalibrate and heal."
