Acupuncture shows effectiveness
for tinnitus
What is tinnitus?
Tinnitus is a ringing or high pitched buzzing
sound in the head or ears. It often is fairly
constant, and it can be debilitating if the
condition is severe. At the least, lack of
quality sleep and problems with
concentration will tend to wear on anyone
suffering from tinnitus.
How does the acupunture treatment
work?
The treatment starts with a plan to treat the
body in a holistic manner. This approach will
allow for each area of the body that is
associated with the tinnitus to be healed.
For many people this has proven to be
incredibly successful.
The treatment itself includes inserting
needles mainly into pressure points of the
arms, neck and head. This helps to balance
out the neck area which tends to be
subjected too much stress. This procedure
calms the entire head and neck area and
subsequently calms the nerves associated
with hearing sensations.
Which results can be expected?
In many cases a reduction of loudness of
the tinnitus can be reached, increasing the
quality of life.
