About the Research

According to Dr. Burcon of Burcon Chiropractic, the clinical trial builds upon years of observational data examining possible correlations between prior head or neck trauma and the later onset of Meniere’s symptoms.

The study focuses on evaluating structural and neurological factors at the cranio-cervical junction using upright MRI imaging and upper cervical analysis.
