Tinnitus is a condition usually described as ringing in the ears. Some people may be familiar with the ringing you have after being in a concert or somewhere loud for an extended period of time. However, people with tinnitus have prolonged periods of time often without any explanation.

While it is not dangerous or life threatening, it is certainly a condition that is very annoying and frustrating to those suffering with it. It may come in the form of a ringing, roaring, hissing, humming, or muffled sensation in the ear and alters the way that you can hear and listen to sounds.

While the cause of tinnitus is unknown, studies have shown that neck problems can be a factor for certain people. A study in the International Tinnitus Journal indicates that tinnitus can result from an unstable cervico-cranial junction, aka Atlas Displacement Complex.

This happens when the bundle of nerves at the base of the brain are affected by structural distortions in the neck. Anterior head syndrome also places undue stress on this part of the neck and is easily corrected through gentle Atlas Corrections. When there is a problem with the neck, it can cause problems for the nerves and muscles situated by the ears. If you also have stress related to neck problems then it can often make tinnitus worse.
