Just updating on my C2-C3 nerve block test injections on April 10th. I am unsure if the nerve block injections helped my ringing as I fell asleep and woke up with loud left ear buzzing, so probably not I would say. I just talked to someone at Advanced Pain Management and they said I had steroids...

...use of a mouth guard. It didn't help relieve my T at all and my neck is getting more progressive. I still get the cracking in upper neck at C1 C2 which is in a straight line to the temporomandibular joint. The video that I posted to Dr. Hobbs with reference of C1 C2 and TMJ really helped.

...to a lesser degree stretch suboccipital muscles occipital neuralgia as in damage to nerves would be eqidural nerve block and radiofrequency to C2 - C4. Longer term injections to C1 and C2. cranial therapy for head and neck mouth guard or splits exercises for loss of normal lordosis with...

Not yet, Sept. 4th. C1-C2 injection could help if a Dr. would do it that high. I'm still looking,hoping that the neck is at least partially the cause. Injections are at least conservative compared to surgery.

yes correct... but can c 1 c2 misalignement cause tinnitus because I had neck issues right before the tinnitus . and my jaw problems got worse after neck and tinnitus, it seems like its all related in some way..

I got my TENS device yesterday. I will try to use it differently according to this study, where the frequency requirements are lower. "Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) of upper cervical nerve (C2) for the treatment of somatic tinnitus"

PT therapy might help. Information on jaw, neck and C1 C2 within bottom half of article. http://hearinglosshelp.com/blog/do-i-have-tonic-tensor-tympani-syndrome-ttts/

What kind of chiro work were you having done, did it involve upper c-spine c1/c2 stuff? If you'd had some kind of very very minimal existing tinnitus and this made it worse, I'd have a lot more ideas. Chiro adjustment actually causing T... we clearly need @Greg Sacramento in this thread!

Hey Deb, I tried it again last night before bed for an hour with notched sound suppression and it did modulate the tinnitus. It actually made it louder for a while up to a central head ringing but it went down after. I had to take sleeping tablet to sleep but in the morning when I woke up it was...

Wouldn't an MRI or ct scan show if your atlas is out of alignment?I had those and xrays and it didn't show anything wrong as far as c1 or c2 being messed up. but I went to a nucca and of course it was out .

Intersting read! Very knowledgeable author. I just started but will continue tomorow. A question: I read about C1/C2 alignment. The things is I am doing a Myelogram + CT on Monday where the doctor plans to investigate C5,C6,C7 and L4/L5, since an EMG indicated some nerve root issues there...

@Greg Sacramento, I think your mentioning of the tilted C1-C2 which was caused by my bad posture on the desk is the problem. There's a noticeable tilt in my posture - my right is slightly below my left. Do you think it's a coincidence that my TMJ, unilateral somatic tinnitus, and tilt are due to...

Yep. C1/c2 was out for an entire year. I’m an idiot. I accepted nerve pain as my new normal. I didn’t think tinnitus was ever on the cards.

I am also sceptical about them. But I also have pain there. Do you have burning sensation in fingers and do you get headaches?

I had a chiropractic adjustment today on my neck and lower back. He said I have some movement in my C1-C2 area. Spondylolisthesis. I'm thinking there is some crossover to my auditory nerves. Maybe a nuero-ablation at a higher level (C2)would knock out the noise? Still unsure what to do. With...

But where do you get the low-dose Naltrexone?

Well this in a short notice (in bold) is my tinnitus I and my therapists think. Today I had neck therapy again massaging close to C1 / C2. It turned down the T volume but gave some nausea. I'm practicing the forward head position with some excersizes.

Turns out I’m weird in being able to modulate my tinnitus with my eyes? Somatic tinnitus. Running a TENS unit on my neck around the c2 to see if that helps. I have been having sensitive teeth issues on my left side that my dentist thinks is from clenching. I haven’t really noticed any TMJ. I...

I found these articles today and will inquire tomorrow at my appt. with Advanced Pain Management on the possibility of this causing tinnitus at the C1-C2 level. http://www.tinnitusjournal.com/detalhe_artigo.asp?id=304# http://bniembarcadero.com/tinnitis-ringing-in-the-ears-and-vertigo/

@TinThom also get your neck checked by a chiropractor. Most concussion cases involve a hidden injury to the neck(C1,C2) which is often overlooked by almost all the doctors. A minor subluxation of C1 can send your neck muscles into a constant spasm mode and this can cause blocked ears feeling and...

...of yet another ENT, manifests in an irritated Trigeminal Nerve or the Stapedius / Tympanic Muscles overworking. Or it is referred pain from a neck nerve or C1 and C2 vertebrae. I don't get any pain from noise. I am so sorry to hear of your suffering of this vile affliction. Stay strong, brother

...still crunched after 3 months, so I took splint out for a week and same symptoms. went to a nucca and same symptoms. went to a chiro who said my c2 and especially c2 was out and only went to him 2 x and same symptoms...im only wearing my splint at night when I sleep, I know I should wear it...

@Adriel93 Hi. Bill B. introduced us a while back. @PDodge thank you. The use of your mouth guard should help. Because of C1 and C2 involvement, teeth must be kept slightly apart. Gentle kind treatment on neck muscles. Stretching of occipital fibers by gently lifting neck with shoulders...

...have been the toughest of my life. On one hand, I want to take meds to deal. On the other, I don't want the meds hindering habituation... I have C2/C3 problems in neck which has been causing non-stop tension headaches leading up to this tinnitus hell. I'm considering weekly neck massages but...

HOW DOES LACTIUM® WORK? Do you occasionally, or even regularly, feel tense ? Have you already experienced symptoms such as snacking, stomachaches or headaches, fatigue, difficulty sleeping, loss of libido, anxiety before boarding a plane, etc.? Taking Lactium® as a preventive measure can give...

@Taylorslay I copied that from a Yahoo message board years ago, but I made a couple of small changes. Normally I can't do humor because my loud high pitch T is usually a 10 or catastrophic C1 or C2. I can only post when my T is at a 9/10.

...machine, that comes with electrodes, I have tried that after reading an article describing a Dr (can't remember details) trying to find relief by supplying I think C2 or C3 with electrical stimulation. Did nothing either way for my tinnitus. Wouldn't recommend this without talking to your dr...

...doctor for discussion and ask for a neck X ray, but make an appointment with a dentist for mouth pain. While at the dentist mention that you have tinnitus. It pitch/loudness can be made by moving neck, then your problems start at the C1 and C2 and your occipital nerves are probably tensed.

...cheeks, neck and TMJ area. Studies show that TTTS and ASD is often caused by TMJ and upper cervical spine disorders. This can involve the C1 and C2 being out of alignment. It can be caused by whiplash, injury, falling down, a history of bad posture with too much forward head bending, dental...

...Bond. After how many visits did you start feeling relief? I’ve been going to my chiropractor for about a month now (3times a week) and I’ve definitely noticed some improvements. Although it could be better... my c1 and c2 is also out of wack and my chiropractor is trying to get it back to normal

...a hot shower makes me think muscles are being tight around damaged or out-of-alignment vertebrae. I have the same symptoms as you, and my C1 and C2 are out of alignment after lifting some heavy stuff. Being getting things realigned and it's helped some so far. Although each time he works on...

This is interesting, since we know TENS can suppress T for some patients when applied to C2 region in the neck (De Ridder & co study). Now with this new Philips smart phone connected TENS device, one could suppress T 'on the go'...

It's a battle that's for sure. I'm still trying to find the best course of action to take. I am looking at my neck possibly contributing to my noise. I will see if they will "burn" my C2 neck nerves...checking into that today. It seems we are on are own for the most part.

Hey SISKO. Check out this Acoustic CR thread: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/acoustic-cr%C2%AE-neuromodulation-a-new-treatment-for-tinnitus.219/page-4 I asked your input on what you think about the Acoustic CR device. Hope you can chirp in with what you know about the device and its...

Good on him for getting solutions out there and giving people hope. That man is a Godsend.

I spoke with him last Monday. He recommended Low-Dose Naltrexone (which I already take), Deanxit plus Clonazepan (I will give it a try), TENS on C2 cervical spine to stimulate neck nerves which reach Dorsal Cochlear Nucleus (kind of what Dr. Shore does). He also said he expects his current...

Can he prescribe these things? My doctors here in Denmark are not really willing to work with me on this.

...even in quiet rooms on very rare occasions. As for looking for relief since it's physical and with no hearing loss, maybe check with a dentist to do a xray of your jaw and teeth. See if you have TMJ and if not then maybe your C1 and C2 (neck) is misaligned and is pressuring your nerves.

...Its repeatedly told there that many of the concussion symptoms(obviously only the concussion induced T) are caused by the often undiagnosed subtle upper neck injury in c1, c2. People mistake those symptoms for PCS which also includes T unfortunately. Upper cervical chiro helps in such cases

Indeed I did @Markku - Verkkokauppa.com is my prefered choice here in Finland. With some luck I will get the device today. I have a time scheduled with my physiotherapist to try this machine also next Wednesday. She can at least help me find the right C2 joint spot if I can't find it myself. :)

So Lenire and University of Michigan device stimulate the same nerve? Who can confirm? If they do, then that's not promising... if you don't get benefit from Lenire, you probably won't from University of Michigan.

...start with joint treatment before muscles extended muscle therapy. Some gentle muscle therapy is fine. Often there's a space between the C1 and C2 either with an over curved neck or a straight one. I started using the towel method and after the first time I got some great temporary relief...

...the sternocleidomastoid with relation to the masseter that causes T. Facial disorders can be caused from many things. Other neck muscles. C1 - C2 connection to TMD/TMJ. Many physical things to consider such as posture, arthritis, disc space, cervical veins, arteries, nerves and the list goes on.

@luckyman316 You mean Atlas Profilax? I know that my C1 and C2's are blocked, but I dont know how badly it is. Can that be seen on an X-Ray? I did some of the excersizes too (thanks for the link) and also dramatic reduction, at least for the coming hours :) Do you do any physiotherapy?

@Makrohn Some get good results from Atlas therapy and others not. The C1 &C2 is often a place for problems within the neck. It also has a connection to TMJ. http://spinalalignment.com/atlasprofilax-a-potentially-dangerous-procedure/...

Notice the lower two red jaw lines extending into green lines. The C1 C2 axis has a route to the lower moving jaw. Notably this would also include other discs plus nerves and muscles of both jaw and neck discussed in first link above. Association of cross talk can also include sinuses...

...From emailing those involved in this study, they are convinced that this connection is the source for many with somatic tinnitus. The C1 -C2 is in direct line to the mandibular. Clenching of teeth with muscle spasms, or forward head posture along with noise to the dorsal system are major...

Find a upper cervical chiropractor (NUCCA). Maybe you have misaligned C1,C2 which causes vast majority of symptoms related to head and ears including T and aural fullness, tight muscles and muscle spasm affecting ears etc. It's the commonest hidden injury if you have had a blow to your head and...
