Tinnitus Treatment
Tinnitus Treatment
What is this service?
Tinnitus Integrated Care is a comprehensive treatment plan that combines Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and physiotherapy to address the root causes of tinnitus and body function imbalances from a holistic perspective.
TCM focuses on "liver and kidney disharmony, deficiency of qi and blood, and obstruction of the Gallbladder and Sanjiao meridians" as the core differentiation direction to adjust the body's internal balance.Physiotherapy focuses on cervical spine structure, muscle tension, the circulatory system, and nerve pressure management to improve blood supply and nerve conduction status in the head and neck.
Through this dual intervention, it will help reduce the frequency and intensity of tinnitus and rebuilds overall bodily stability.
Symptoms, Treatments and Approach
Why is this service important and right for you?
Tinnitus is often not just an ear problem, but a reflection of multi-system imbalances.
Common related factors include:
Cervical spine structure and muscle tension
Obstructed blood circulation
Chronic stress and autonomic nervous system imbalance
Neural sensitization
Physical constitution imbalance (deficiency of qi and blood, liver and kidney disharmony)
Although Physiotherapy and TCM alone can provide relief, often tinnitus requires a combined approach to achieve complete recovery. Combining TCM and physiotherapy can simultaneously address:
