End your Tinnitus with Chiropractic Care in Macomb Township

Tinnitus, sometimes referred to as ringing in the ears, is that annoying perception of sound that
does not have an external source. It affects over 50 million people a year, and most doctors do
not have a cure for it. While symptoms for tinnitus can vary from a constant ringing sound to buzzing or humming, these noises can become more than annoying for someone who’s

experiencing them.

 

Tinnitus can interfere with sleeping and concentrating, working and relaxing, and begin to take a toll on you mentally. Many people with long term tinnitus report having daily stress, headaches, and irritability, fatigue, dizziness, and memory issues.

Many doctors try to find underlying causes for tinnitus such as earwax buildup or internal
ear damage, but the vast majority only offer help to manage the symptoms. They suggest
sound, antidepressants or anti-anxiety meds to reduce the emotional impact, or surgery, often
with cochlear implants. But doctors do not address one of the main possible causes for tinnitus, which is nerve interference. Evidence, however, suggests misalignments in the neck or spine can result in nerve pressure that directly disrupts nerve signals to the auditory system. Nerve endings in the neck have connections to the hearing centers in the brain, and if nerves are
pinched, normal signals are disrupted, causing inflammation, decrease of blood flow, and the
potential for tinnitus.

A Chiropractor named Dr. Chris McNeil, at Macomb Township Chiropractic, has successfully helped patients who have come into their office complaining about tinnitus. His office specializes in state-of-the art Chiropractic treatments that restore the normal alignment of the spine, to take the pinching and pressure off of the nerves that control the inner ear and hearing centers. Dr. Chris stated: “Tinnitus can be the result of underlying conditions”,specifically “misalignments in the neck that cause nerve pressure”.

A recent patient named Phil received tinnitus relief therapy and treatments at Macomb Township Chiropractic. He complained that his tinnitus was taking over his life and he “couldn’t think straight,” and “couldn’t do anything!” After a complete consultation and Chiropractic x-rays, Dr. Chris quickly noticed the multiple misalignments in Phil’s neck that he believed were directly causing his headaches and tinnitus. With the help of regular Chiropractic adjustments and postural rehabilitation treatments, Phil reported after just six short weeks, his tinnitus was completely gone.
