Free treatment offered to Auckland Meniere's disease patient

Dr Burcon to offer free treatment to Auckland Meniere's disease patient at seminar for Australian and New Zealand doctors

The featured speaker at this year's Meniere's Disease Research Institute's Work Shop is Dr. Michael T. Burcon, world's leading expert on Meniere's Disease (MD). Burcon has proven a correlation between MD and whiplash (caused by a vehicular accident or a fall on the head). The reason it took so long to find out the cause of MD is because it takes an average of 15 years from the time of the trauma until the onset of symptoms.

He has spoken to over 1,000 chiropractors and over 1,000 Ear, Nose and Throat surgeons to the Politzer Society at Cleveland Clinic, International Symposiums on Meniere's Disease at the House Ear Institute in California and Kyoto International Conference Center in Japan and The Prosper Meniere Society in Austria.

Based on 300 Meniere's Disease patients followed from a minimum of four years to a maximum of thirteen years, his protocol has eliminated vertigo in 97% of these patients. He has gone on to establish a correlation between Meniere's Disease, Trigeminal Neuralgia, Bell's Palsy and Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia.

Burcon's research appears in medical and chiropractic textbooks, peer reviewed journals and national magazines and newspapers. He will be speaking at the New Zealand College of Chiropractic in July of 2012 to chiropractors from Australia and New Zealand and offering examinations to MD patients in both North and South Islands He will also present his research to the Blair Upper Cervical Society's Annual Conference in St. Louis in September.
