Please note: Not all hearing disorders are related to the spine. It appears that only some of cases will respond to chiropractic adjustment. However, this case is real and true:
Symptoms:
1. Ringing in ears 20 years
2. Unable to distinguish sounds in mixed conversation, or to discern different sound sources at the one time. eg: he has to have the TV louder so background noise or conversation does not interfere.
3. Neck pain
4. Neck grinding (crepitus), "like sandpaper"
5. Jaw problems 20 years, TMJ (jaw joint) dysfunction, clicking, and frequent locking
6. Jaw muscle tension
In the 2 pictures below an x ray is seen of the skull and the neck, with a line through the atlas (first neck vertebra), and a line under it, level with the horizon (where the atlas should be). A close up of the same x ray is to the right, showing how the atlas has misaligned high on the right side.
Below, can be seen the same person after the adjustment:
Now, in the picture at left, one
adjustment later, the line through the atlas is
superimposed over the line on the horizon, that is
perfectly level (orthogonal). So what does this mean?
Results:
Richard reported to me that he had immediate ceasing of the noisy crunching in his neck.
He felt that for the first time in years (since he was a teenager, in fact) there was relaxation in his jaw. He was able to turn down the TV that night.
We are yet to gain an improvement in his tinnitus, but he has only had 2 adjustments, and very little time.
All these things were affecting his work. What does it mean to a person to be able to function better? What does it mean to a corporation, to have workers that function better and are healthy?
