Is the persistent sounds of ringing or buzzing in your ears disrupting your daily life? With over 34 years experience, our dedicated team is here to address the root causes of your tinnitus and bring you relief.
Tinnitus is the perception of noise or ringing in the ears without an external sound source, which can manifest as a constant or intermittent sound.
It is often associated with conditions such as age-related hearing loss, exposure to loud noises, or issues with the auditory system. Other causes include earwax blockage, changes in ear bone, Meniere's disease, head or neck injuries, vascular issues, certain medications, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
The impact of tinnitus goes far beyond auditory sensations. With the potential to disrupt sleep, concentration and emotional well-being, it can complicate our daily activities, work tasks, personal relationships and our life in general.
Approximately one in three people in Australia have experienced tinnitus at some point in their life.
We employ gentle adjustments to correct misalignments, aiming to improve blood flow, reduce inflammation, and optimise nerve function. By addressing these factors, we strive to contribute to the relief of tinnitus symptoms.
Our chiropractic care offers a holistic approach, addressing the root causes of your tinnitus, so you can achieve long-term auditory improvement. Your treatment may include:
Our doctors will diagnose the cause(s) of your tinnitus. During an initial consultation, they will take an in-depth medical history, perform a physical exam and may carry out an imaging diagnosis (such as X-rays or MRIs).
During your appointment, we will use techniques such as spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, low-force techniques, cervical spine mobilisation, cranial techniques, neurological exercises and more to relieve your discomfort.
We will also give you personalised advice to help address your symptoms such as stretching and therapeutic exercises, ergonomic and lifestyle advice and nutritional recommendations. We may also prescribe supplements or complementary medical tests.
Our chiropractors can address various types of tinnitus, including subjective, objective, pulsatile, and neurologic. They may provide assistance for some types of tinnitus, particularly if related to issues such as neck or cervical spine misalignment, sinus blockages or eustachian tube dysfunction.
Neck or spine misalignment, muscle tension, sinus or eustachian tube dysfunction are all factors that our doctors can address to potentially alleviate tinnitus symptoms.
