For some individuals, tinnitus may be linked to tension or misalignment in the upper cervical spine. At Top Chiropractic, we provide specific Upper Cervical Chiropractic care to support the body’s nervous system function and overall wellbeing. While we don’t claim to cure tinnitus, many people find that improving upper neck alignment can play a helpful role in how they manage their symptoms and daily comfort.

TOPCHIRO
Tinnitus and The Upper Cervical Spine
Upper cervical care focuses on the alignments of the top bones of the cervical spine and making specific adjustments to remove the pressure placed on the nervous system as a result of misalignment. Misalignments in the upper cervical spine interfere with the brain’s ability to communicate with the body and vice versa and as a result, can present as symptoms such as tinnitus and other auditory disturbances.
Once a correction has been made, the brain and body communication is restored and the body begins to heal and repair. Depending on the severity and reason for the tinnitus, some clients/patients have reported improvements in their condition in as little as one adjustment, however, this will vary between individuals.
If you or someone you know has tinnitus and hasn’t had their upper cervical spine analysed and checked, please feel free to book in for a free call and we will give you more information to help you find a solution.
Tinitus & Upper Chripractic research….
In a 2021 clinical report by Burcon et al., a review of 1,000 patients medically diagnosed with Meniere’s disease (a condition involving tinnitus, vertigo, and hearing loss) showed that:
- 100% had a history of neck trauma, including whiplash or concussion.
- After upper cervical chiropractic care, patients saw an average drop in vertigo severity from 8.5 to 1.4 (on a 10-point scale).
- Many reported significant tinnitus reduction, restored hearing, and regained quality of life over a multi-year follow-up period.

“One year on, my health is much improved.“
“I’ve been using Top Chiro for just over a year. I had developed tinnitus and other symptoms which, after some research and my GP offering no solutions, I decided was probably the result of spending too long at my home office desk during lockdown and using dual monitors. After an initial scan showed a misaligned C1 vertebrae I began treatment with Dr Elliott. One year on, my health is much improved. I still experience some tinnitus but it is much reduced and my other symptoms have cleared up. I now consider my monthly visits to be part of my health regime. I have never felt pressured to continue treatment and have done so entirely because I feel that it benefits me. All in all, if you are looking for a solution to one of the problems that Top Chiro treat, I am happy to recommend them.

“I can honestly say that he has changed my life.“
“I’ve had Ménière’s Disease for 28 years. It’s been a real roller coaster of an illness! I’ve taken copious amounts of medication, suffered with regular debilitating attacks, hearing loss, tinnitus, constant nausea and brain fog. I’ve been seeing Christian for a year now and I can honestly say that he has changed my life. After the first few adjustments, I started to get control back, all my symptoms have decreased considerably or disappeared. No one has ever been able to offer me a positive treatment or prognosis before I met Christian. If you have Menieres and are considering an assessment, do not hesitate!
