Burcon Chiropractic

At Burcon Chiropractic Research Institute, we are dedicated to providing the most specific, thorough, and effective upper cervical specific chiropractic care in Western Michigan. Our mission is to help you achieve optimal health and well-being by correcting your problem in as few visits as possible. We understand the importance of maintaining a healthy central nervous system and axial skeleton, which is why we specialize in treating one-sided neurological disorders like Meniere's disease and Trigeminal neuralgia.

Understanding Meniere's Disease

Meniere's disease is a condition that has been known for over 150 years, yet it remains a mystery to the medical community. It is not a disease in the classical sense, but rather a collection of symptoms. This is why it should be more accurately referred to as Meniere's syndrome. The symptoms of Meniere's disease can be quite debilitating, including fluctuating hearing loss, vertigo, tinnitus, and a feeling of fullness in the affected ear. Attacks can last anywhere from a few minutes to a few days, and in severe cases, can cause drop attacks, which can be quite frightening.

The Importance of Atlas Adjustments

The first cervical vertebra, known as the atlas, plays a crucial role in maintaining the health of your central nervous system and axial skeleton. When the skull slips partially off from one of the atlas' joints, pressure is applied to the brain stem, causing you to be "off your rocker!" At Burcon Chiropractic, we specialize in atlas adjustments to help alleviate the symptoms of Meniere's disease and other one-sided neurological disorders. By correcting the misalignment of the atlas, we can help restore balance to your nervous system and improve your overall health.

Whiplash and CAD Trauma

Whiplash, also known as cervical acceleration/deceleration (CAD) trauma or syndrome, is a common injury that occurs when the head is suddenly snapped back and forth, such as in a rear-end car collision. This rapid movement can cause injury to the vertebrae of the neck and the muscles and ligaments that support them. Dr. Burcon has been researching and treating whiplash chiropractically in West Michigan for over eighteen years, with a special focus on one-sided neurological problems like Meniere's disease.
