[Manual treatment of the cervical spinal column for tinnitus after acute hearing loss - a case report].
Tinnitus is one of the 20 most common reasons why patients aged 45-64 years consult a general practitioner in Germany. In the literature a correlation is claimed between disease patterns of the cervical spinal column and nuclei of cerebral nerves. In the case report presented here, a 30-year-old female patient with acute tinnitus after acute hearing loss was cured from her tinnitus after a single manual medical treatment at C0/C1, which supports the correlation claimed. If cervical spine diseases should therefore regularly be included in the differential diagnoses of acute tinnitus is a matter of further research.
