How do I find a doc who's willing to prescribe pregabalin? PCP can't prescribe C2-5 drugs, my psych probably will say to seek pain clinics..

...why this might help people? I’m unclear if this treatment relies on the sufferer having a particular type of tinnitus that is somehow reliant on C2-C3 (and therefore open to treatment through C2-C3)? Or does everyone’s auditory nerves pass through that cervical canal...? I’m sorry I’m so...

...I wanted to share this. As part of my TMJ treatment my dentist recommended I go to Cervical Chiro that specializes in the top 2 vertebrae, C1 C2, I went there today. I received a video motion Xray and he found that my c1 c2 does not move properly while neck is rotated forward (anterior) and...

...to see a specialist who would refer us for one, but at last we had a dynamic cervical upright MRI this week. And I think they found it. Damage at C2-C3. So hopefully we can now go forward from here. I’m trying not to hope too much, just data gathering atm to see where we go next. The lovely...

...will need to start a new anti-depressant soon. Surviving on .25mg Klonopin 3x a day. Went to a chiro who said she can cure it because my c1 and c2 are so off as well as my jaw. I had two adjustments and so far no changes but my legs are now the same height. After two adjustments my...

I am not sure which one is C1/C2/C3? Is C1 the top one that looks joined to C2 with a gap between C2 & C3? Or is C1 really the two that look joined and C2 & C3 are another one lower down?

My understanding is that C1 is the uppermost vertebra, often called the atlas; C2 is the 2nd one down, and is often called the axis; C3 is the 3rd one down, and has no specific name other than that as far as I know; C4 is 4th, etc. I think there are a total of 7 cervical vertebrae in total.

...region after a period of chronic anxiety. No specific acoustic trauma. No underlying conditions. I noticed a couple of months before hyperacusis that my neck / shoulder was getting stiff, followed by dizziness and then finally the ordeal commenced. Is it worth checking out the C1/C2 alignment?

...arthritis looks quite significant. I am puzzled that my MRI could be reported as normal. You can clearly see reduced joint space between C1 and C2 (the one with the "peg" in the middle). My point is this: continue investigating if you feel something is not right. I will keep everyone posted...

@IntotheBlue03, well done. Is C2 that high?! I thought you had the Alpha-Stim?? You are getting a TENS unit as well? From a quick look on here: Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) of upper cervical nerve (C2) for the treatment of somatic tinnitus Resolution of long Standing...

So, aside from the slightly annoying name, it's bimodal stimulation. It uses the occipital nerve, which is smart, it's C2-C3, the same target nerves as the SSD. In other words, the stimulation will target the trigeminocervical nucleus in the brainstem, which then has collateral connections all...

Hey how did the TENS unit applied to ur C2 go?

Fantastic, thanks @Uklawyer! Hoping PRP can help me avoid radio frequency ablation. All those procedures were on the table before I found regenerative medicine.

Yet the grant for actual research into a tinnitus cure was awarded £50k. FFS. Enough with the CBT bullshit already.

Hey if u ever see this how did the TENS unit at C2 go?

I had a consultation today with a pain management doctor regarding my cervical MRI yesterday. They agreed to do an injection into my C2 & C3 area in late March. I’m not sure exactly what the injection is but I assume it’s some kind of steroid. Hopefully I can get in earlier as I’m on a...

Basic - C1 C2 is accountable for 50% of head turning. C1 C2 controls movement of jaw and mouth. C1 C2 pressure by pressing top of head can also spike tinnitus. Having mouth open for a long period without rest can cause TMJ and with influence of C1 C2. Occipital nerves often get inflamed. Muscle...

@Lane, did you try in around your ears? Nothing for tinnitus? @IntotheBlue03, were you told that LDN could help with C2 (or upper cervical issues)?

...and others who didn’t find anything. My new chiropractor is looking at the MRI this week and will give his opinion. I can feel pain at C1 & C2, so I know something is wrong, maybe compressed or misaligned. I am sceptical of chiropractors and I previously went to a very bad one but I am a...

Have you had an x-ray confirming the misaligned C1 & C2?

Abstract Tinnitus, as a phantom sound can express itself as a pure tone and as a noise-like sound. It is notoriously difficult to treat, and in medically, psychologically and audiologically intractable, tinnitus patients sometimes intracranial electrodes overlying the auditory cortex are...

Thanks for coming back for an update. Hopefully fixing the C2-C3 problem can alleviate or eliminate the tinnitus symptoms. If there are not enough responses from current readers of this forum, you can try to do a search on the key words of C2 and C3 and or spinal cord injury and you should see...

Yes, I am seeing a physical therapist and and upper cervical. My C2 was out. It’s quieter today.

For how long does IV Lidocaine knock out your tinnitus?

Chrisj... The link to the article re tinnitus and c2.. States that applying stimulation to c2 activates dcn. Isnt that a concern given that area is already hyperactive?

Trouble is the timing may not be right. DIrk De Ridder did advise me to try the tens machine on continuous mode on my C2 area - as this is known to communicate with the dcn where all the hyperactivity is believed to be

...Pain Medicine used diagnostic blocks to the synovial joints of the cervical spine to find that in those with headache greater than neck pain, the C2/3 joint was the source in 62%, with C1/2 (7%) and C3/4 (6%). In those with headache less severe than neck pain, C2/3 was the source in 42%, with...

@IntotheBlue03, bummer. What about trying them over the C2 to stimulate the DCN? @Lane, I think I heard about possible nausea from using too high a current. @IntotheBlue03, did you start off low?

Quietist day on record yesterday. bill 112 - my neck use to crack more, finally found out it was some adjustments, exercises and controlling inflammation. It cracks less t. Agree joseph Ghass however for to a cervical or c1,c2 specialist chiro for that 1st exam.

He just did the usual chiropractor adjustment lol. Neck, back, hips, and then used some electrodes and ice in neck area.

Did he check your C1 and C2?

I was asking if anyone knows if these SGB blocks can help with subjective tinnitus or help reset the amygdala (fight or flight response)? The article itself says it can, and resetting the amygdala can help lower subjective tinnitus!

White noise - whistling with TTTS can be caused from TMJ and/or C1/C2 cervical problems. C1 and C2 out of alignment. This will place pressure to nerves of the middle ear The other muscle - stapedius - the 7th nerve, not the 5th. One reference source: Do I Have Tonic Tensor Tympani Syndrome (TTTS)

...also help and with neck pain. Heating pads or ice packs wrapped with cloth may help. Having tinnitus increasing when eating could mean your C1- C2 is off balance, and this can be seen with C spine X rays. An off balanced C1-C2 can be helped by touch therapy. Not having modulation with...

Thanks Lane - I was referring to the picture. I can't tell from the picture which vertebrae is C1 as it looks like the C1C2 are one thing or are they separate things?

@Cymro41 Hi so are you going to give Acoustic CR® Neuromodulation a go? I believe it's pretty expensive. Have you tried DIY Acoustic CR® Neuromodulation?

Thanks for those links. I don't think I ever saw these!

Hey @Uklawyer, so I wasn’t told that LDN could do much for C1-C2 but I do have some PRP treatments lined up for upper cervical which should strengthen the damaged capsules and ligaments I have in that area. It’s anyone’s guess as to if it will improve my tinnitus (fingers crossed). I keep...

I would call the radiologist for a C1 and C2 notation. The jaw probably doesn't need exam, unless there's considerable pain.

We know that TMJ - jaw is connected to the C1 and C2 where most of the time both go haywire at the same time and it does effect hearing. If this is the case for you, then you should have had some ASD and TTTS. Sometime whiplash to the neck does not show up for fifteen or more years. When the C1...

@ryand may I ask how things are going with that shifted c2 dens-odontoid process?

Already in touch with my somatic physical therapist and getting an undershave to try the TENS unit on C2. Wonder what I can dig up on the forum in regards to this. :)
