to everyone here suffering: therapies that may help you!!

Hi everyone,
I think this is my first time actually posting on this forum, but I have been to this board in the past. Anyway, I want to share with all of you what appears to be helping my tinnitus and also some vertigo I have been dealing with. I completely know how much all of you are suffering because I have suffered quite a lot with these myself. So I really feel for everyone coming to this forum. All I can say is that I hope the therapies I am trying that seem to be working will help all of you too. I first started getting tinnitus after being on large doses of pain medication for several years. Since then, I have had tinnitus 24/7.... and it has deeply bothered me. Also, recently after a car accident, I started having problems with vertigo, to top it all off. I have felt terrible and have had a lot of anxiety from the tinnitus and the vertigo, which I am sure you all relate to. Anyway, I have a background in holistic health and nutrition (self taught, mostly), and have been wanting to try several therapies for the tinnitus and vertigo when I had the money to do so - since health insurance will not cover these therapies and you have to pay out of your own pocket. I spend a lot of time researching natural therapies and nutritional methods for whatever ails me, and I have learned a lot over the years. Recently, I had the money to go see a chiropractor in my town who also is a neurologist and does some interesting therapies for brain injuries and all sorts of other health problems. He is an advanced practitioner in a technique called NMT, and yesterday he used NMT with me to address my tinnitus. I have constant ringing in my ears which never abates... so I will know if something works or not. Immediately after I left his office, I couldn't notice a change, but last night I could hardly hear the ringing in my ears. Then, today, there was a period of several hours where it was totally gone!! I was amazed to say the least. I was so happy that this may be the answer, but I need more time to tell. The tinnitus returned a little later this evening, but it is much more mild than it was before the treatment. Basically, the NMT is doing something.... and maybe I just need more treatments to have a asting resolution of the tinnitus. All I know is that I am very hopeful. Also, NMT can be used for vertigo and all sorts of health problems, so I am going to address the vertigo next. What the NMT is doing apparently is balancing my nervous system and how I perceive sound, and integrate sound and other sensory perception. Also, there are other natural therapies that are not very well known, that may help all of us, in addition to the NMT... so I am planning on doing some of these too, and I am going to post links to websites that have the info on NMT and the other therapies that might help all of us. A few other therapies that have been helping the vertigo have been chiropractic adjustments and cranial sacral therapy. Also, I have an appointment to get some muscle testing (kinesiology) done to try and pinpoint the cause for the tinnitus and vertigo. I have already had my hearing tested and do not have any hearing loss. But because there are so many causes for tinnitus and also vertigo, I think muscle testing is a great way to get some answers for these problems. God Bless everyone, and I hope that you all find relief from your suffering.

Re: to everyone here suffering: therapies that may help you!!

Could you give us more info on exactly what is NMT? I know you prefer not to be on meds, but I know an extremely inexpensive anti-anxiety med that helps tinnitus sufferers, because it helps me. I take min. dose of clonazepam daily and it has eliminated my heart beat noise in my right ear for 80 to 90% of every day. I take 1/2 tablet in am with coffee (to counteract the drowsiness it may cause) & the other 1/2 tablet at bedtime without coffee. I sleep well on it and I wake up feeling rested.
