Core Tip A patient who experienced right-sided symptoms of Meniere’s disease (MD) with comorbid right sided temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJD) and mid-face/retro-orbital headaches experienced no relief from traditional MD treatments. The patient sought out physical therapy for TMJD, which included soft tissue mobilization of right facial structures and temporal fossa, intraoral massage, and massage of right neck structures. The patient recovered from the right-sided hearing loss and associated MD symptoms and had decreased headaches after 1 month. Physical and massage therapy for the cochlear symptoms associated with MD may be an important adjunctive treatment, though confirmatory studies are needed.
