I have had tinnitis for two years, and the volume has steadily increased to a point where I can see it potentially causing nausia in certain cases? Has anyone else experienced this?

Also, having read these blogs, I have noticed that I can change the pitch and volume of noise by tensing different muscles in my neck and when aligning my head to extreme angles to by my spine.

My chiro does micro adjustments and spends time on my lower skull and upper back….is this what an Upper Cervical Specialist does?

Regular chiropractic check-ups can help you to maintain a healthy immune system and stave off illnesses or allergies. A chiropractic adjustment will restore the balance of your nervous system and restore the flow of energy and information throughout the body, thus validating one of the great benefits of chiropractic care!

Is this normal, and should it subside? The chest, elbow area is pain, and the fingers numb.

]]> Comment on What Does a Reversed Cervical Curve Look Like? by LJ http://drtanase.com/2010/04/29/what-does-a-reversed-cervical-curve-look-like/#comment-1909 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 06:02:54 +0000 http://drtanase.com/?p=7044#comment-1909 I’m scared too! Mine is completely reversed and is VERY painful! I used to find limited relief from a chiropractor but I lost my insurance so I just have to live with it. I can feel my spinal cord stretching, it’s a hot pain that sears down my entire back into my tail bone. I was diagnosed at age 20 and I am now 29. It deteriorated very quickly. If you have the opportunity to get it fixed, by all means get it done! I can’t work, haven’t for 3 years now, but it isn’t “bad enough” to get disability for, according to the SSA. There are days I can’t walk on my own, don’t wait, fix it now!

I have a reversed curve of -17 degress but no scoliosis. As far a my neck goes my PT/chiropractor put me on a program to strenghten and stretch my neck and upper back and also uses a device called a posture pump to make my neck assume the natural curve shape. I won’t know if it has helped for another two weeks or not once I view the new xrays but I’ll try to post back. Good luck!

I agree with you that reducing sbluxations is a much better then removing subluxations when explaining chiropratic and what the chiropractor does.

Eventually things begin to wear out, and that could be why you’re just not starting to notice these symptoms. The sooner you begin to improve the situation the better, so I would recommend you begin getting used to sleeping on your side or back. If you don’t have a chiropractor, it might be a good idea to get a spinal checkup to see what’s going on within the cervical spine.

It’s as if all circulation is cut off when I sleep on my stomach. My limbs go completely numb, so numb they wake me up because they hurt, not pins and needles, a dull pain. Also, my face and lower legs, ankles, and feet swell, I get edema bad. Why is this happening all of a sudden?? I don’t understand what is causing this. Is this serious?? I did sleep on my side last night, and woke up with no edema. I just can’t get comfortable on my side or back.
