Tinnitus is a difficult condition to deal with. Persistent and sometimes intolerable.
Why would chiropractic help?
While some forms of Tinnitus are caused by damage to the nerves that control hearing, other types of Tinnitus can be caused by damage or inflammation to the structures of the upper neck or jaw.
There are even situations in which the muscles of the neck have been found to cause ringing in the ears.
By working to mobilize and realign these structures chiropractic care can decrease inflammation and irritation to these areas and quiet the noise.
How we treat it in our office:
We start with an assessment of the upper neck and jaw.
Corrections are made for misalignments or dysfunctions found in these areas.
Lighter adjusting techniques such as instrument techniques usually work better for these situations.
If there is any muscle involvement, this will be treated as well.
Finally, specific acupressure points are treated.
While full resolution of tinnitus may take time, many have seen improvement after their first treatment.
If you have tinnitus or think you may have tinnitus, we're here to help at Align Chiropractic.
