Trigger Point Injection Treatment for Tinnitus

hi do you have any contact number for her , i m in uk and have also muscles issue ,maybe she can help me

 

I am in the u.k also, I think this will just give you temporary relief, as the magic injection was lidocaine, this substance yes makes the tinnitus go away for a period but it's back soon as it wares off. Markuu I think you will agree ??

 

in the video i ve heard that she has make disapear a 20 year tinnutis or did i misunderstood?

 

I think she says she's been treating the patient 20 years, which I can believe as lidocaine was discovered to alieviate tinnitus over a century ago, it's just an anaesthetic, and it wares off after a few hours

 

ok i didn t knew the use of lidocaine for treating tinnitus,by the way joe is there anything in uk for us?i m in the west midlands.thanks

 

Hello myself, the clear answer is, no there is no known drug / cure thats going to help us at this point, however due to the age of i pods, i phones and more of the younger generation getting Tinnitus there is more focus in finding treatment fast!!!!, I think its going to be stem cells, the Koreans are probably the ones who will develop it first. I think we have to just sit tightly until it happens. Has anyone Tried Piracetam and choline?? theres a post on this forum, thats having some good results

 

hi joe and markku

i understand that at this time there is no cure for it but at least we can try something wich can give some relief even temporary.

so i m asking markku if you have any contact for her so i can come and try her injections.

and for joe,do you know any systems worth be tried in uk? as this t is driving me crazy and it s getting worse with the cold weather.

let me know if you find anything helpful

thanks

 

exodus, try this its available in London the company is set to roll out in USA second Quarter this year, Speak to Susan http://www.thetinnitusclinic.co.uk/tinnitus-treatment/acoustic-neuromodulation/

 

ok joe i ll call them tomorrow

thanks

 

Your welcome, It's backed with a clinical trial so it should help, as long as your tinnitus is tonal, however an hour and a half consultation for £185 is quite reasonable at this clinic as they are Tinnitus specialist, in harley street london they will evaluate you and put you on the right tracks. This will be my next port of call if the HBOT treatment is unsuccessful for me. Good luck and keep the group posted.

 

I can change my pitch of my Tinnitus when I open and close my mouth, what does it mean Markku, ?? Does it happen with u ??

 

yes it s changing when i m cracking my neck i have cervical,back and generally speaking muscles issues (from neck to feet),got that since a mistreated motorcycle accident when i was young.but tinnutis is quiet recent(since may 2008).

let me know if she has some colleague of her in uk who can treat me here

thanks

 

I visited her yesterday. A very nice lady. She had just got back from the annual T conference in New Zealand, so she seems to be still active with T research and treatmeants. She takes T patients once a week through this company: http://www.itte.fi (in Finnish)

 

Ive watched the youtubes , .....its worked ...but...shes been going for 20 years.???? Thats some working lol.

 

No, we didn't have time to do the injection. She scanned my head, jaw and neck for TPs and found several sore areas. She did perform the cold-hot-stretching also seen in the video to my neck and shoulders. That felt quite effective. We also explored Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPJ) which I opened a thread of it's own. She said she has been the most successful with somatic T through BPPJ, which can cause muscle strain totally without the actual vertigo.

I might visit her in the future. Don't know yet. I am trying to find TP specialists in the Helsinki region, but I haven't had luck so far...

 

@Sound Wave

Any updates on this? I'm going to do Triggerpoint therapy soon. I can manipulate the tinnitus by pressing my face, and turning my head into the furthest position possible (left or right).

So far, after 6 months of physiotherapy there is still improvement. Triggerpoint therapy is one of the things I'm trying before I consider any drugs in 2015.

 

No, I didn't see her again. Normal PT has helped me so that if my neck is stiff, the T is higher. When she manipulates the neck back to normal, T goes down (after a spike).

 

Seems comparable to me, but you said your T is because of headphones?

 

That procedure looks way too scary........ I wouldn't do it.

 

Hey everyone,

Does anyone know which doctor can give trigger point injections for tinnitus? A neurologist, ent,...? And does someone knows which hostpital in belgium performs this procedure?

I was discussing this with my doctor the other day, but he admitted he had no idea which doctor is specialized in injections for tinnitus.

 

Anyone?

 

@Lebber In the States, the best choice is a pain management doctor where most hospitals have one on staff or has practicing rights.

Thank you!

 

I have T caused by TMJ and the my TMJ doctor did this twice. I am pretty sure my TMJ is caused my inflammation around the joint which has improved in 18 months but not gone away (T has come down from a 7 to a 1, sometimes a 2). I believe the injection helps with the inflammation and I had one positive and one *very* negative experience with this procedure:

- When my T started it would in increase when I turned my head to the right. After the first injection this stopped, and to this day my T level does not change when I turn my head to the right (no luck on left side - still increases when I do that.

- The second time I did this I had acute hyperacusis start in my right ear about an hour after the injection. My T has brought sound sensitivity, but this was like any sort of noise was so painful that I couldn’t go in public. It was absolutely horrible - I have real sympathy for H sufferers after that. Luckily it was gone in a couple days, and that was the last time I did this.

So decide carefully if you want to do this.

 

It's so terryifing that all sorts of things can happen with the human body if you try either this or that.
