Can a Chiropractor Help Me With My Tinnitus?


Woman receiving chiropractic treatment; can a chiropractor help me with my tinnitus concept
Chiropractors focus on treating musculoskeletal conditions and their effects on the nervous system. 

Tinnitus, or ringing in the ears, is a symptom that can be caused by a variety of underlying health conditions, including hearing loss, ear infections, high blood pressure, or head and neck injuries. 

Because tinnitus and ringing in the ears can be caused by neck problems, chiropractic treatment of the neck or spine may help. The onset of what's called cervical tinnitus is often in conjunction with the emergence of cervical pain and neck problems, so seeing a chiropractor for advice isn't a bad idea.

While a chiropractor may be able to help alleviate some of the symptoms of tinnitus that are related to neck or spinal issues, you should consult with a doctor or specialist to determine the underlying cause of the condition and determine the most appropriate course of treatment.

Remember that chiropractic care is not a cure for tinnitus, and the effectiveness of chiropractic treatments for tinnitus may vary from person to person. If you're considering chiropractic care for tinnitus, it's important to have a clear understanding of what you can expect and to communicate openly with your chiropractor about your symptoms and concerns.

Can Allergies Cause Tinnitus?

The short answer is: Yes, allergies can cause tinnitus. Hearing loss, too.  Allergy-related tinnitus is typically due to the congestion that allergies cause. Anything from allergic rhinitis (hay fever) to sinus infections increases the risk of developing tinnitus.  Basically anything that affects the nasal and sinus passages can lead to tinnitus. That's because when allergies affect the nasal passages and sinuses, they can cause inflammation and swelling, leading to congestion and pressure changes in the ear. This pressure change can lead to tinnitus. Allergy meds can be a problem too Tinnitus can also be a side effect of certain medications used to treat allergies, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like aspirin. These medications can potentially cause tinnitus as a side effect, especially when taken in high doses. Other causes of tinnitus In addition to allergies, there are several other causes of tinnitus. In some cases, tinnitus can be a symptom of an u...
