Tinnitus and Neck Alignment

Welcome to our blog where we explore the intricate relationship between neck alignment and tinnitus treatment.

As a specialized physical therapy team focusing on cervical rehabilitation, we understand the importance of addressing sagittal and rotational movements to alleviate tinnitus symptoms effectively.

Understanding the Connection:

Tinnitus, characterized by ringing or buzzing sensations in the ears, can often be linked to underlying issues in the cervical spine.

Poor neck alignment, including sagittal and rotational misalignments, can disrupt blood flow and nerve function, exacerbating tinnitus symptoms. We can test these with an active movement screen using our Feel it to Heal it Physio framework.

By addressing these movement issues, we can alleviate pressure on the auditory system and reduce the severity of tinnitus.

The Role of Neck Rehabilitation:

Our approach to tinnitus treatment revolves around targeted neck rehabilitation techniques.  We examine the neck through several approaches to find impairments.

You can read more about how we examine the neck on our Somatosensory Tinnitus Relief Program page. 

Through manual therapy, exercises, and postural corrections, we aim to improve the sagittal and rotational alignment of the neck. This not only relieves tension and discomfort but also promotes optimal blood flow and nerve function, providing some relief from tinnitus symptoms.

Key Strategies for Improvement:

1. Manual Therapy: Hands-on techniques such as soft tissue mobilization and joint manipulation are used to relieve tension and subsequent exercises can improve neck strengthening and flexibility.
2. Therapeutic Exercises: Specific exercises targeting neck muscles help strengthen and stabilize the spine, improving alignment and reducing tinnitus symptoms.
3. Postural Corrections: Addressing poor posture habits helps maintain proper alignment and alleviate strain on the neck and auditory system.

The Path to Relief:

If you’re struggling with tinnitus, addressing neck alignment may offer significant relief.

Our specialized physical therapy team is dedicated to providing personalized treatment plans tailored to your unique needs. By improving sagittal and rotational alignment of the neck, we aim to alleviate tinnitus symptoms and improve your overall quality of life.
