The CuraListic Program Helped My Tinnitus

Before I started the CuraListic program I would have about 12 days (I keep track) where my tinnitus was not annoying. After I did this program for a couple of months, my not annoying days went from 12 a month to 18-20 a month.

This program consists of removing your trigger points in your neck with the Backnobber II ($35), massaging your SCM muscles and belly breathing. I was able to remove many of the bigger trigger points in my neck with the Backnobber II.

When I was doing this I would have pain (normal for this program) or sensations in my ear on the same side when massaging my trapezius muscle, probably because everything muscular was tight in that area.

Please check out the program. It's a non-profit. Below is the program's website and the link to the Backnobber II.

I am glad you have had some relief from this.

It would not work for me as my tinnitus has nothing to do with any back issues.

I did actually buy something similar last year but had no good use out of it.

Back massage by an actual human hand is very beneficial I have found - but these back self massage devices I find horrible. I can actually do a better job by reaching around my own back and use the tips of my thumbs to get to problem areas and digging in where needed.

But others have obviously had benefits from these aids.

 

Do your tinnitus volume/intensity increase or decrease when you press on the trigger points?

 

Neither. I would get like warm or some pain when I would hit a trigger point because it was deactivating the trigger point or hitting the muscle. My muscle tightness is a lot better.

 

When you did this with your hand, did you feel any sensation in any area? You know you're hitting a trigger point when you feel a sensation in another part of your body or that area.

 

I only tend to do it when my back feels sore or knotty - and it usually works. I can't remember if I feel anything in another part of the body.
