Tinnitus Treatment

[Guest guest]

Posting this again. Would appreciate advice regarding estim and tinnitus. Not

sure if estim is the right way to go? If so, from which point to which point

(i.e. SJ 17 to a foot point? Or just SJ 17?) This is for excess tinnitus. PT

had a virus last year and tinnitus started gradually after that; bad allergy

season this spring has aggravated it; now it's constant. Appreciate any

treatment ideas. thanks.

any practitioner will tell you, tinnitus is difficult to tx. i've had some

respond well, and others not (particulary men in the not catagory). the

books give a variety of patterns but i've find (esp in menopausal women) its

using liv/kid yin xu with liv yg rising. anchor and settle meds: cishi a

must. wu wei zu/shi chang pu often used, i like to include shi jue ming,

and often dai zhi shi. the text book rx is usually a rem 6 variation with

cishi.

 

i am currently working with a patient who didn't respond to the estim

protocol (sj17, one of the 3 pts on the front of the ear. i was adding 2 gb

pts around the ear, one caudal [gb8 area] and one posterior).

 

i found this on the balance method forum:

 

 

I had once successful tx, it was some years ago, when I was working in a

student clinic. There was a pt with Meniers disease and tinnitus. TW5, Gb41,

PC6,UB62 + Yin Tang. Or PC6,KD6, TW 5, UB 67. This is what I've found in my

notes from that time with remark- success, tinnitus decreased from 8/10 to

2/10. May be you can try.

 

 

i've been doing the p6, k6, sj5, ub67 combo. she seems to be improving with

it.

 

 

if anyone uses this combo please report findings.
