Meniere’s Disease Treatment

    For Patients

    Understanding the Connection Between TMJ and Meniere’s Disease

    Meniere’s disease is a chronic inner ear disorder that causes episodes of vertigo, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), hearing loss, and pressure in the ear. Many patients don’t realize that these symptoms can often be linked to jaw joint dysfunction — also known as TMJ disorder.

    At the TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of San Fernando Valley, we specialize in identifying and treating the underlying relationship between TMJ and Meniere’s disease. When the temporomandibular joint becomes misaligned or inflamed, it can affect surrounding nerves, muscles, and even the structures of the inner ear — leading to dizziness, ear pressure, and imbalance. Addressing this root cause through proper TMJ therapy can provide meaningful, lasting relief.

    TMJ and Meniere’s Disease: A Closer Look

    How TMJ Dysfunction Can Influence Ear Symptoms

    The TMJ sits just in front of the ear canal and shares nerves and muscles with the structures responsible for hearing and balance. When the joint becomes inflamed or misaligned, it can create pressure changes that mimic or aggravate symptoms of Meniere’s disease. Patients with TMJ and Meniere’s disease may experience:

    • Episodes of vertigo or dizziness
    • Fullness or pressure in the ear
    • Ringing or buzzing (tinnitus)
    • Ear pain or popping sensations
    • Jaw clicking, tension, or headaches

    By focusing on proper TMJ menieres evaluation and therapy, our team helps restore function to the jaw joint and alleviate the neurological and muscular imbalances that contribute to ear-related symptoms.

    Comprehensive Meniere’s Disease Treatment in San Fernando Valley

    At the TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of San Fernando Valley, we take a holistic, non-invasive approach to Meniere’s disease treatment by addressing both jaw alignment and inner ear stability. Each patient receives a thorough evaluation that may include:

    • Jaw movement and bite alignment analysis
    • Neuromuscular and cranial nerve assessment
    • Airway and posture evaluation
    • 3D imaging to identify TMJ inflammation or compression

    Our treatment for Meniere’s disease focuses on reducing joint inflammation, improving jaw stability, and restoring normal muscle function. This may include custom orthotic appliances, physical therapy, muscle relaxation therapy, and lifestyle modifications. By balancing the jaw and improving circulation to the ear, many patients experience a significant reduction in dizziness, tinnitus, and ear fullness.

    Q: How are Meniere’s disease and TMJ disorder related?
