Can a chiropractor help in treating chronic tinnitus?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am a 51-year-old female in good physical shape. I wanted to know if a chiropractor can help with tinnitus. I have had it for a year. I have tried supplements, seen an ear, eyes, and throat doctor, and cut down on caffeine but to no avail.

Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for your question on icliniq.com.

I have reviewed your question.

I know several researchers who are studying tinnitus in an effort to find the cause and treatment for the condition. Unfortunately, at this time, there are not a lot of great treatment options. Chiropractic care can offer a lot of great benefits and while you may experience symptom relief, there are no actual research studies that definitely show that it will help with tinnitus relief.

I suggest you go to a local chiropractor for an examination. They will most likely recommend a trial of care. If you do not notice any relief from your symptoms within the first few weeks of care, it is likely not going to be effective.

I hope this helps.

Please let me know if you need any help.

Thank you.
