I just want to thank you for this video...I had been suffering for months...I had been to my primary, ENT, chiropractor....I found an upper cervical chiropractor near me..and I am now under his care! Just started, but I am very hopeful. and You were my inspiration to seek him out.
Thank you for that feedback! My goal is to help folks understand what their options are and provide a bit of "off the beaten path" information. Hope that your care has benefited these symptoms!
My eustachian tube is blocked due to a fluid build up, I'm experiencing head pressure and neck pain at the back, what did you to get better or find relief? I have a appointment to see ad ENT this Monday. Unfortunately I've been having this issue for a month straight. In the past I'd get a fluid buildup with head pressure but never any neck pain so its making me worried and beyond uncomfortable
I got spinal x-rays done the other day and it shows that my neck is curved in the complete wrong way,, and although I can't pin it down to a singular event, my Chiropractor says there was certainly a trauma to that region. I have been suffering with Eustachian tube dysfunction for 14 years (along with a host of other random symptoms that nobody has ever been able to make sense of). I have a lot of faith that fixing the abnormal curvature in my neck will really help things. Thank you, this is very educational and validating!
It's nice to identify things that can be improved upon! X-rays certainly help with that. I've seen plenty of folks that are similar to what you're describing, and I also look into the TMJ/airway in cases like that. Sometimes a reversed curve is a result of diminished airway volume, and I co manage with a dental professional to help with that. But each situation is so different, that a "one size fits all" approach is impossible. Don't give up until you find your answer and relief!
This video just confirmed what I has suspected for years! How effective is the Blair technique and do you know of any UCCs that practice this in central Florida? Also, I recently started taking magnesium taurate. Do you think this could help over time? Appreciate you video and hard work.
There are a handful of Blair doctors around Florida, here's the link to the directory. www.blairchiropractic.com/search/?geodir_search=1&stype=gd_place&s=+&snear=Florida&sfull_name=&sstreet=&sgeo_lat=27.7567667&sgeo_lon=-81.4639835 If you let me know a specific city, I can help narrow down further!
Thank you! The truthful answer is it depends. I wouldn't suggest upper cervical chiropractic care as as treatment option for eye related issues, but anecdotally I have heard patients report improvement with eye issues. There is a ton of delicate physiology related to eyesight, vision, eye movements, etc. that need to be diagnosed properly before you can assess treatment options. It all depends on what's going on, which is the boring but truthful answer!
Hello… I used one of those Eustachi ear pressure relief devices and I have been suffering with chronic neck pain ever since. Is there anything you recommend me doing as it’s really getting me down and it’s going on over a year?
I'm sorry to hear that! There are so many gimmicks and quick fixes advertised, I don't blame you for trying! Depending on where you're located, I'd be happy to connect you with an upper cervical chiropractor who could dig into the specifics of your case. You can search www.uccnearme.com/ or reply with a location and I'll see if there are any local doctors.
In my experience, it's a combination of both. Typically there is an injury at some point, but the effects can be exacerbated over time by things like ergonomics, posture, etc. The symptoms may start after the injury, but more often show up much later. Hope that answers your question!
@@zenithupppercervicalchirop8075 I have had bad posture for quite some time, mainly because of computer work and due to stress. Little over a year ago I was in a car accident on the highway, didn't had any major injuries at that time, but it makes me think.. thanks for answering.
Hi, i have been suffering for 8 months now due to hyperextension of the neck and my Eustachian Tubes are affected. I have neck swelling precisely under my chin creating a double chin. It is the most tender there. I'm in the UK & for the past 8 months i haven't been receiving any help for my issues. I have had Chiropractors try with treatment but nothing improves. Ive only had an ultrasound scan done in the space of this time and they found no abnormalities going on. I personally need an MRI doing I'm desperate as you cant request a scan doing on the NHS it seems. I had been looking into private care but it's costly and im unable to work currently due to this problem. Im plagued with headaches most of the time. Im just trying to seek out advice if possible. My mental health has massively declined aswell.
Hey, thanks for the info! Throughout the past years, I've not been exercising as much and having horrible posture on the PC. Along with traps being super tight, in the past few months, I have been getting awful jaw pain along with the typical TMJ symptoms such as neck pain, shoulder pain, vertigo, dizziness, ect. Although the symptoms are improving, I still have sensitivity in my right ear along with pain sometimes. Also when I yawn I can hear my right ear with crackling noises. Its like the ET is not fully open or something is messing with it and causing sensitviity in my ear. I also noticed my bottom have shifted in terms of I think the bad posture throughout the years has led to my jaw shifting towards my right ear and causing pressure. Anyways, what do you think I should do? I do think it's muscle/bad posture related. I'm thinking a chiropractor and a orthodontic dentist to potentially see if I could realign my bottom teeth could help along with neck/spine adjustments at a chiropractor? What do you think about this, please and thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching! I think you're thinking along the right lines with a multidisciplinary approach. You'll want to find an upper cervical chiropractor, my preference would be one practicing the Blair Technique. They can evaluate you and determine what role the neck might be playing in your situation. Most will also have worked with TMJ specialists in their area and could get you connected there as well.

Thank you very much .I've been experiencing ETD ,facial pain,neck pain and severe anxiety for years,I suspected it's related to having whiplash in the past..My Dr's told me it couldn't be from the vagus nerve.
The vagus nerve is a critical nerve in the body, with so many branches. Neck related injuries such as whiplash can create vagus nerve issues through a few different mechanisms. It may be worth consulting with an upper cervical chiropractor to find out if that's an option for you.
It it possible to have upper cervical issues without symptoms of pain? I have periodic tinnitus in left ear with no hearing loss that started suddenly and wondering if this is worth going in to upper cervical to check it out if there is no pain.
In my experience, there are other signs of upper cervical issues than tinnitus alone. Typically we'll see restricted range of motion, neck or head pain, etc. That doesn't mean there isn't something going on there, but usually mechanical neck dysfunction is evident as well. You can always be evaluated by an upper cervical chiropractor to know for certain!
Hi Angela, There are no Blair Doctors in that area, the closest to you would be Marysville, WA. There are a handful in Norther WA.

Hey Tazakka, there aren't necessarily specific exercises for this particular symptom. That being said, we often have patients perform basic cervical range of motion exercises when we're working on these issues in office. They are obviously used in combination with adjustments and in the context of a full evaluation, but as a general rule you can try these out even if you haven't been adjusted! th-cam.com/video/qfObsv6HOAo/w-d-xo.html
Hi Stephanie. Thanks for that feedback. As you can imagine, every symptoms can have a variety of causes, and we often find that patients have multiple factors involved. They key is understanding each person's unique situation in order to guide toward an appropriate treatment recommendation.

@@ayushmanrabha4058 sorry this is a late response. I'm managing as best with sound therapy at bedtime and I keep busy during the day that I have learned to ignore the sounds. I do see a TMJ Specialist every few months which I find helpful.
I've never actually treated patient with PET, and these mechanisms I described might not apply in that situation. From my understanding the primary symptoms are slightly different, such as hearing your own voice or breathing. It's a poorly understood condition, and seems like it has more to do with the tissues of the inner ear itself. Good luck!

ould you suggest working with a dentist and a chiropractor at the same time or would the upper cervical chiropractor suffice? I am currently on my 2nd adjustment with my UCC, but my ear symptoms are not resolving. Perhaps it's too early to tell. This is my first week of care.
Hey Elizabeth, I'd say to give it some more time, sounds like you're just getting started! There's often a lag time between when we begin adjusting and when the neurological symptoms respond. That's normal - healing takes time! If you get too many things going at once, it'll be hard to know what's working and what isn't. Typically with patients, we'll implement the dental work once folks are holding their adjustment for a couple of weeks and the symptoms plateau. OR if they aren't holding adjustments at all. I'd discuss it with your UC chiro, but you're on the right track!

Would a chiropractor need to crack the neck? That's I am afraid of, getting a broken neck. I've felt like my ears were blocked for the past two years and it's getting frustrating. All I am getting is ear drops. Would a neck massager work? Like the one with two rubber balls attached to the thing?
Hey DC CD, The good news for you - and others afraid of having their neck cracked - is that there are other ways of correcting the neck!

I had chronic sinusitis I feel better now but now I'm getting my neck cracking sounds when I use steam my face I feel very comfortable. Are these symptoms of eustachian tube dysfunction???
Hi Harri, I'm a little unclear on exactly your situation, but ETD and other head and neck related problems can have overlapping symptom. Which means that one problem can mimic another problem in it's symptoms. The best way to know for sure is to talk with an expert about it. An ear, nose, and throat specialist would be a good start.
Hi, After using some medicine eustachian dysuction has started . Can You say something about it ? Ototoxity can cause eustachian tube disorders ? Also wondering tooth removal can cause it too? I am not sure which o one caused me eustschian tube dysfuction .
Mina, I can't comment on the affects of the medication as it's outside of my scope and area of expertise. As you can imagine, there are many factors that can affect the onset, progression, and severity of ETD. Our focus looks at the structural considerations, specifically with the upper neck. That being said, occlusion (teeth contouring) and TMJ issues can commonly reflect similar symptoms. It may be worth mentioning to your prescribing doctor and dentist for their feedback. You can find an upper cervical doctor in your area to help evaluate the structural side of things by searching here: www.blairchiropractic.com/locate-upper-cervical-blair-chiropractic-doctor/ If you can't find someone there, try: www.uppercervicalcare.com/
You can also see a biological dentist if you have mercury amalgams, root-canaled teeth, and dental cavitations (jawbone osteonecrosis). Some have reported relief after having those procedures done also.
I'm sure there have been cases of "spontaneous remission", but I wouldn't be able to speak to how frequently that happens. Obviously the only experience I have with it would be in cases where folks did come in for treatment, so I wouldn't be able to weigh in on how things go for the folks that didn't come in.
Hello Doctor I have just been diagonised with a c1 c2 misalignment had my first adjustment and I feel much better but my only questions will the ear fullness and popping trouble clearing my ears go away on its own or do I have to use something as I feel much better after my first adjustment but the ear fullness and popping is still there
Glad to hear that things are off to a good start! I can see that by now you're a month into care, so hopefully you're having conversations with your doctor about your prognosis and progress through care. I obviously can't speak to the specifics of your situation, but in my experience it takes time to make sustainable changes. As long as symptoms and objective testing are improving, then the neck side of things is being handled appropriately. If the progress with care seems to be going the way that it should, but that particular symptom is not improving, I look into other things for my patients, such as TMJ dysfunction.

Hi im Obet and im from the Philippines. My problem is that I have this clicking/popping sound in my left ear whenever I swallow or when certain movement of the the head. I feel no pain, its not clogged, the feeling is normal just this annoying sound. I've been to two different hospitals already and both says my ear is normal. I have tinnitus too, so i know the sound difference. The clicking sound is like there is a bone or muscle that is hitting each other. Please help.
Sounds like there could be a jaw problem (TMJD) causing that sort of symptom. If you were local we'd evaluate the cervical spine and temporomandibular joint and start working to correct what we find.

As much as I hate this answer, it depends on the situation. First we do a consult and examination. That's the only way to really know for sure if upper cervical dysfunction is present. We also make an effort to differentiate the role the neck plays in symptoms like this compared to other issues. For example, problems with the ears themselves, and/or the TMJ come into play. On the neck side of things, we do low-force corrective adjustments, some stretches/exercises, and so on to get the adjustments to hold for a few months. If symptoms aren't improving, I'll typically refer for a second opinion by and ENT, TMJ dentist, or PT.

I have been battling with vertigo from most to years already they say I’m having vestibular migraines, but I don’t feel them. I am sensitive to the light and bright lights but every time I move my head left and right side to side I start getting dizzy but when I put my neck on a pillow or when I get neck pain upper neck pain my right ear starts to pop over and over and over and over. It pops and pops and pops and hurts and gets me really dizzy. I’ve been to maybe four or 500 different hospitals not hospitals, but I’ve been to the hospital about 400 times and they keep on telling me that they can’t find anything that it’s not my ears and Ent told me the same thing that it’s not my ears to just keep on blowing my nose and popping my ears. I don’t know what to do no more I feel like my head is not my head anymore like my neck is not mind I can’t stop this vertical no medication helps and my right ear is always hurting me and keeps on popping.
MS is a difficult condition, and affects the nervous system in a broad spectrum of symptoms. It may be related, or it a standalone problem. One of my instructors used to say "patient are entitled to more than one diagnosis."
I healed my ETD. here is how. first of all. your body can heal anything. just have faith. secondly. most health issues is caused by food, our dietary and lifestyle choices. my opinion for this issue is mucus and infections and solution is DETOX and mucus free diet. it's been 5 years since I became vegetarian and right after vegan, then raw vegan and fruitarian. I am healed now. 80% of my diet is fruit, the rest veggies or cooked foods if I don't have ripe fruit. Only healthy diet and a KEY for properly functioning body is Whole food plant based diet. (no oils like olive or coco and as much fruit as possible) So get a juicer and juice the f*ck up. and FYI don't be afraid of fruit sugar. sugar in its natural form as fruit is healthy in any amount. on the other hand processed sugar is different... so it took me few years to heal my ETD but if I did some extreme fasting protocol right away, it would take few months in my opinion. btw I don't reckon long water fast. only juice fast or 100% fruit diet. Fruit heals, fruit is nature's gift which have cellular-repairing properties that heals damaged DNA.
Did you have cracking/popping noise in your ears when you swallowed and could you make your ears click on command?

I recommend your seeing a Specialist. I have found that the GP can only do so much. I went to an Ears, Nose, and Throat Specialist. He sent me to a Physical Therapist. The PT was a great help. I had experienced a whiplash years ago and this was often the consequence.
With that background you've certainly had some head and neck trauma. As Jessye alluded to below, uncorrected whiplash injuries can cause a variety of nasty symptoms later in life. It would be a good idea to get a structural evaluation to see what's going on in there. You can find a qualified Blair Doctor here: www.blairchiropractic.com/locate-upper-cervical-blair-chiropractic-doctor/ They'll evaluate it similar to the way I would.

@@Krish_1222 Glad to hear that you're improving! Any symptom can have a variety of causes. As much as we try to isolate the one cause, it's often a multi-factored issue. We obviously focus on the structural side of things, but there are other factors. I understand how confusing that can be.
Just got back from the doc who rather dismiss that ear and neck are related when I tell him I'm twisting my neck to relieve my ear bc such movement did so for most of the blockage ... He said the chiro is a risk and that I shouldn't go to a neurologist. I feel I need neck traction to pop both neck and ear now. My neck scan showed a disk issue but not seemingly related yet bc it's on the other side.
Unfortunately I've heard that a lot of patients are dismissed when they asked about a relationship between the neck and the ears. ENT doctors are helpful and well meaning, but this just isn't a mechanism that they are trained in or familiar with. Many of the folks I have helped had similar experiences, so it may be worth a second opinion with an upper cervical chiropractor.
You can see if they need to be cleaned out but if that isn't the case you can consult with an upper cervical chiropractor. You can also see a biological dentist if you have mercury amalgams, root-canaled teeth, and dental cavitations (jawbone osteonecrosis).

Hey Doublekickflip, that's definitely a possibility.

Hi Elizabeth, thanks for your comment! I've noticed that these types of problems are multi-factorial and often take a team approach to achieve complete resolution. So all of those things that you've mentioned and more can be a part of the process to get things taken care of. It all depends on the needs of the patient!

It's difficult to answer that question without any in office testing. What we could consider with a patient in that condition is the history of injuries, broader scope of function related to upper cervical spinal health, and then arrive at a diagnosis and treatment plan based on test results. You have a few options for doctors in your area that can assist with that, search here: www.blairchiropractic.com/locate-upper-cervical-blair-chiropractic-doctor/ and if that doesn't yield a result, search here: www.uppercervicalcare.com/
There may be a connection between the two symptoms. Depending on your location, you can consult with a Blair Chiropractor to see if there is a link. www.blairchiropractic.com/locate-upper-cervical-blair-chiropractic-doctor/ Check here and get back to me if there isn't anyone close.
Hi !! Ear bud has got stucked in My Ear ....which compressed the Estuchain tube.... I do have a symptom of OAB and Hyperactivity from last 10 years... Yoga and Blood circulator therapy found it suitable to open my tubes....any thing u can suggest to get rid of ringing from the ears
I had covid I had a severe pain up my spine into my head. I was not congested or anything. Now I have eustachian tube dysfunction and can't hear out of both of my ears 😔😔
Hello doctor, when I found this video, I thought it is what I am exactly looking for......I understood the reason for my ear dysfunction.....but can u suggest me some measures to prevent it....it would be very helpful for me as I am facing a chronic sinus and ear problems....yes I even realised that I am facing issues with my sleep position particularly at my neck region from quite some time....pls make a video with some tips and exercises to reduce these
Hi Viraji, I would love to be able to do that for you, but unfortunately there's not generalized approach to provide. In order to help folks we first do an evaluation to figure out exactly what's going on and make recommendations from there.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if you have Eustachian Tube Dysfunction, there really is no cure. Coming from someone who has gone to multiple ENTs and having all my tests come back normal, all my doctors just shrugged their shoulders and said there was nothing they could do. Like many other people who have struggled with this disorder, I too have been on multiple antihistimines and nasal sprays because the docs are so sure it's an allergy response. I would advice against holding off on the balloon dilation for awhile until it's more refined. I've heard a lot of cases where it can make things WORSE.
Sorry to hear that you've had that experience, and in fact a lot of our patients with ETD have been down that road as well. We've also heard mixed responses about balloon dilation, but admittedly we won't hear from the folks who have had success. Our approach is to take a step back and look at the interplay between spinal structure, neurology of the head and neck, and theses conditions. I can see from the fact that you've found our video that you're continuing to research the topic, and we hope that you find an answer for your particular case!
@@bitchpudding2945 You'd need to consult an upper cervical chiropractor, not a standard one. Some upper cervical techniques include NUCCA, Blair, and Knee chest. I really hope that you find relief soon.
@@bitchpudding2945 You can also see a biological dentist if you have mercury amalgams, root-canaled teeth, and dental cavitations (jawbone osteonecrosis). Some have reported relief after having those procedures done also.
I just want to thank you for this video...I had been suffering for months...I had been to my primary, ENT, chiropractor....I found an upper cervical chiropractor near me..and I am now under his care! Just started, but I am very hopeful. and You were my inspiration to seek him out.
Hey has your ears gotten better?
How r u
Thank you for that feedback! My goal is to help folks understand what their options are and provide a bit of "off the beaten path" information. Hope that your care has benefited these symptoms!
Yes! My eustachian tube dysfunction started at the same time as I had terrible upper neck pain...
Interesting. We often find the two are connected!
My eustachian tube is blocked due to a fluid build up, I'm experiencing head pressure and neck pain at the back, what did you to get better or find relief? I have a appointment to see ad ENT this Monday. Unfortunately I've been having this issue for a month straight. In the past I'd get a fluid buildup with head pressure but never any neck pain so its making me worried and beyond uncomfortable
@@dee6159 Been coping fir a year by using ear drops. Debrox but not for wax, clears my nose too.
@@dee6159 any update ?
I got spinal x-rays done the other day and it shows that my neck is curved in the complete wrong way,, and although I can't pin it down to a singular event, my Chiropractor says there was certainly a trauma to that region. I have been suffering with Eustachian tube dysfunction for 14 years (along with a host of other random symptoms that nobody has ever been able to make sense of). I have a lot of faith that fixing the abnormal curvature in my neck will really help things.
Thank you, this is very educational and validating!
Did you find a solution?
It's nice to identify things that can be improved upon! X-rays certainly help with that. I've seen plenty of folks that are similar to what you're describing, and I also look into the TMJ/airway in cases like that. Sometimes a reversed curve is a result of diminished airway volume, and I co manage with a dental professional to help with that. But each situation is so different, that a "one size fits all" approach is impossible. Don't give up until you find your answer and relief!
This video just confirmed what I has suspected for years! How effective is the Blair technique and do you know of any UCCs that practice this in central Florida? Also, I recently started taking magnesium taurate. Do you think this could help over time? Appreciate you video and hard work.

Great information!! Can eye issues be from upper cervical as well?
Thank you! The truthful answer is it depends. I wouldn't suggest upper cervical chiropractic care as as treatment option for eye related issues, but anecdotally I have heard patients report improvement with eye issues. There is a ton of delicate physiology related to eyesight, vision, eye movements, etc. that need to be diagnosed properly before you can assess treatment options. It all depends on what's going on, which is the boring but truthful answer!
Hello… I used one of those Eustachi ear pressure relief devices and I have been suffering with chronic neck pain ever since. Is there anything you recommend me doing as it’s really getting me down and it’s going on over a year?
I'm sorry to hear that! There are so many gimmicks and quick fixes advertised, I don't blame you for trying!
Depending on where you're located, I'd be happy to connect you with an upper cervical chiropractor who could dig into the specifics of your case. You can search www.uccnearme.com/ or reply with a location and I'll see if there are any local doctors.
Is long term bad posture enough to cause this, or does it really need a sudden intense injury
In my experience, it's a combination of both. Typically there is an injury at some point, but the effects can be exacerbated over time by things like ergonomics, posture, etc. The symptoms may start after the injury, but more often show up much later. Hope that answers your question!
@@zenithupppercervicalchirop8075 I have had bad posture for quite some time, mainly because of computer work and due to stress. Little over a year ago I was in a car accident on the highway, didn't had any major injuries at that time, but it makes me think.. thanks for answering.
Hi, i have been suffering for 8 months now due to hyperextension of the neck and my Eustachian Tubes are affected. I have neck swelling precisely under my chin creating a double chin. It is the most tender there. I'm in the UK & for the past 8 months i haven't been receiving any help for my issues. I have had Chiropractors try with treatment but nothing improves. Ive only had an ultrasound scan done in the space of this time and they found no abnormalities going on. I personally need an MRI doing I'm desperate as you cant request a scan doing on the NHS it seems. I had been looking into private care but it's costly and im unable to work currently due to this problem. Im plagued with headaches most of the time. Im just trying to seek out advice if possible. My mental health has massively declined aswell.
Hey, thanks for the info! Throughout the past years, I've not been exercising as much and having horrible posture on the PC. Along with traps being super tight, in the past few months, I have been getting awful jaw pain along with the typical TMJ symptoms such as neck pain, shoulder pain, vertigo, dizziness, ect. Although the symptoms are improving, I still have sensitivity in my right ear along with pain sometimes. Also when I yawn I can hear my right ear with crackling noises. Its like the ET is not fully open or something is messing with it and causing sensitviity in my ear. I also noticed my bottom have shifted in terms of I think the bad posture throughout the years has led to my jaw shifting towards my right ear and causing pressure.
Anyways, what do you think I should do? I do think it's muscle/bad posture related. I'm thinking a chiropractor and a orthodontic dentist to potentially see if I could realign my bottom teeth could help along with neck/spine adjustments at a chiropractor? What do you think about this, please and thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching! I think you're thinking along the right lines with a multidisciplinary approach. You'll want to find an upper cervical chiropractor, my preference would be one practicing the Blair Technique. They can evaluate you and determine what role the neck might be playing in your situation. Most will also have worked with TMJ specialists in their area and could get you connected there as well.

Thank you very much .I've been experiencing ETD ,facial pain,neck pain and severe anxiety for years,I suspected it's related to having whiplash in the past..My Dr's told me it couldn't be from the vagus nerve.
The vagus nerve is a critical nerve in the body, with so many branches. Neck related injuries such as whiplash can create vagus nerve issues through a few different mechanisms. It may be worth consulting with an upper cervical chiropractor to find out if that's an option for you.
It it possible to have upper cervical issues without symptoms of pain? I have periodic tinnitus in left ear with no hearing loss that started suddenly and wondering if this is worth going in to upper cervical to check it out if there is no pain.
In my experience, there are other signs of upper cervical issues than tinnitus alone. Typically we'll see restricted range of motion, neck or head pain, etc. That doesn't mean there isn't something going on there, but usually mechanical neck dysfunction is evident as well. You can always be evaluated by an upper cervical chiropractor to know for certain!

Hey Tazakka, there aren't necessarily specific exercises for this particular symptom. That being said, we often have patients perform basic cervical range of motion exercises when we're working on these issues in office. They are obviously used in combination with adjustments and in the context of a full evaluation, but as a general rule you can try these out even if you haven't been adjusted!

I've never actually treated patient with PET, and these mechanisms I described might not apply in that situation. From my understanding the primary symptoms are slightly different, such as hearing your own voice or breathing. It's a poorly understood condition, and seems like it has more to do with the tissues of the inner ear itself. Good luck!

ould you suggest working with a dentist and a chiropractor at the same time or would the upper cervical chiropractor suffice? I am currently on my 2nd adjustment with my UCC, but my ear symptoms are not resolving. Perhaps it's too early to tell. This is my first week of care.
Hey Elizabeth,
I'd say to give it some more time, sounds like you're just getting started! There's often a lag time between when we begin adjusting and when the neurological symptoms respond. That's normal - healing takes time!
If you get too many things going at once, it'll be hard to know what's working and what isn't. Typically with patients, we'll implement the dental work once folks are holding their adjustment for a couple of weeks and the symptoms plateau. OR if they aren't holding adjustments at all. I'd discuss it with your UC chiro, but you're on the right track!

Would a chiropractor need to crack the neck? That's I am afraid of, getting a broken neck. I've felt like my ears were blocked for the past two years and it's getting frustrating. All I am getting is ear drops. Would a neck massager work? Like the one with two rubber balls attached to the thing?

I had chronic sinusitis I feel better now but now I'm getting my neck cracking sounds when I use steam my face I feel very comfortable. Are these symptoms of eustachian tube dysfunction???
Hello
Hi Harri, I'm a little unclear on exactly your situation, but ETD and other head and neck related problems can have overlapping symptom. Which means that one problem can mimic another problem in it's symptoms. The best way to know for sure is to talk with an expert about it. An ear, nose, and throat specialist would be a good start.
Hi, After using some medicine eustachian dysuction has started . Can You say something about it ? Ototoxity can cause eustachian tube disorders ? Also wondering tooth removal can cause it too? I am not sure which o one caused me eustschian tube dysfuction .
Mina,
I can't comment on the affects of the medication as it's outside of my scope and area of expertise. As you can imagine, there are many factors that can affect the onset, progression, and severity of ETD. Our focus looks at the structural considerations, specifically with the upper neck. That being said, occlusion (teeth contouring) and TMJ issues can commonly reflect similar symptoms. It may be worth mentioning to your prescribing doctor and dentist for their feedback.
You can find an upper cervical doctor in your area to help evaluate the structural side of things by searching here:

You can also see a biological dentist if you have mercury amalgams, root-canaled teeth, and dental cavitations (jawbone osteonecrosis). Some have reported relief after having those procedures done also.
Can this problem resolve on its own if you don't have the means to see a chiro?
I'm sure there have been cases of "spontaneous remission", but I wouldn't be able to speak to how frequently that happens. Obviously the only experience I have with it would be in cases where folks did come in for treatment, so I wouldn't be able to weigh in on how things go for the folks that didn't come in.
Hello Doctor I have just been diagonised with a c1 c2 misalignment had my first adjustment and I feel much better but my only questions will the ear fullness and popping trouble clearing my ears go away on its own or do I have to use something as I feel much better after my first adjustment but the ear fullness and popping is still there
Glad to hear that things are off to a good start! I can see that by now you're a month into care, so hopefully you're having conversations with your doctor about your prognosis and progress through care. I obviously can't speak to the specifics of your situation, but in my experience it takes time to make sustainable changes. As long as symptoms and objective testing are improving, then the neck side of things is being handled appropriately. If the progress with care seems to be going the way that it should, but that particular symptom is not improving, I look into other things for my patients, such as TMJ dysfunction.
Agree, typically is " pain in cartilage "..

How do you fix this condition????
As much as I hate this answer, it depends on the situation. First we do a consult and examination. That's the only way to really know for sure if upper cervical dysfunction is present. We also make an effort to differentiate the role the neck plays in symptoms like this compared to other issues. For example, problems with the ears themselves, and/or the TMJ come into play. On the neck side of things, we do low-force corrective adjustments, some stretches/exercises, and so on to get the adjustments to hold for a few months. If symptoms aren't improving, I'll typically refer for a second opinion by and ENT, TMJ dentist, or PT.
Hi, I think this is my problem with my right ear, what do you recommend I do...?
Hey Mr. Fisco,
Hard to give you a recommendation without some diagnostic testing. I'd recommend chatting with a certified Blair Technique Chiropractor. Check here to find someone local:

They can help figure out what's going on and give you a more specific recommendation!
@@zenithupppercervicalchirop8075 sadly, I don’t live anywhere close to a Blair chiropractor
Same
I don’t know why when I move my neck in a strange mode my ears crack/ poping
Same
I have been battling with vertigo from most to years already they say I’m having vestibular migraines, but I don’t feel them. I am sensitive to the light and bright lights but every time I move my head left and right side to side I start getting dizzy but when I put my neck on a pillow or when I get neck pain upper neck pain my right ear starts to pop over and over and over and over. It pops and pops and pops and hurts and gets me really dizzy. I’ve been to maybe four or 500 different hospitals not hospitals, but I’ve been to the hospital about 400 times and they keep on telling me that they can’t find anything that it’s not my ears and Ent told me the same thing that it’s not my ears to just keep on blowing my nose and popping my ears. I don’t know what to do no more I feel like my head is not my head anymore like my neck is not mind I can’t stop this vertical no medication helps and my right ear is always hurting me and keeps on popping.
can "CRANIAL FACIAL RELEASE" fix
(Eustachian Tube Dysfunction, ear fullness, enlarged turbinates)
I'm not familiar with that approach, so I wouldn't be able to give you an informed opinion of it. Sorry!
My partner has MS and is suffering with terrible tinitus and hearing problems ... I wonder if this is due to the M S ?
MS is a difficult condition, and affects the nervous system in a broad spectrum of symptoms. It may be related, or it a standalone problem. One of my instructors used to say "patient are entitled to more than one diagnosis."
I healed my ETD. here is how. first of all. your body can heal anything. just have faith. secondly. most health issues is caused by food, our dietary and lifestyle choices. my opinion for this issue is mucus and infections and solution is DETOX and mucus free diet. it's been 5 years since I became vegetarian and right after vegan, then raw vegan and fruitarian. I am healed now. 80% of my diet is fruit, the rest veggies or cooked foods if I don't have ripe fruit. Only healthy diet and a KEY for properly functioning body is Whole food plant based diet. (no oils like olive or coco and as much fruit as possible) So get a juicer and juice the f*ck up. and FYI don't be afraid of fruit sugar. sugar in its natural form as fruit is healthy in any amount. on the other hand processed sugar is different... so it took me few years to heal my ETD but if I did some extreme fasting protocol right away, it would take few months in my opinion. btw I don't reckon long water fast. only juice fast or 100% fruit diet. Fruit heals, fruit is nature's gift which have cellular-repairing properties that heals damaged DNA.
Glad to hear of your success! Keep up the good work.
Did you have cracking/popping noise in your ears when you swallowed and could you make your ears click on command? That’s what i’m dealing with, Im going back on Arnold Ehrets mucus less diet healing system which I use to practice years ago. Im just wondering if its even ETD at this point with this ear clicking. I got it from water getting in my ear and hitting my ear drum.
@Moto Explorer im still dealing with it. Went on a 8 day fast and it did nothing. i been trying everything. doesn’t seem to get any better.
@@DJMPTVhow are you doing now?
@@blancacasillas8226 nothings changed
My Eustachian tube problems came about when a dentist jolted my neck after breaking my wisdom tooth during extraction. 4+ years later and I still struggle with no answers or relief. I need relief, it’s so difficult to function in life with this injury.
How are you doing
I was a competitive boxer for 10 years
Now having headaches ear problems
My eyes feel like pressure
And definitely neck and trap tightness
Also watery eyes and ears
I feel like I'm dizzy and could die
My doctor keeps telling me I'm healthy
I recommend your seeing a Specialist. I have found that the GP can only do so much. I went to an Ears, Nose, and Throat Specialist. He sent me to a Physical Therapist. The PT was a great help. I had experienced a whiplash years ago and this was often the consequence.
With that background you've certainly had some head and neck trauma. As Jessye alluded to below, uncorrected whiplash injuries can cause a variety of nasty symptoms later in life. It would be a good idea to get a structural evaluation to see what's going on in there. You can find a qualified Blair Doctor here:
www.blairchiropractic.com/locate-upper-cervical-blair-chiropractic-doctor/
They'll evaluate it similar to the way I would. The good news is we've been able to help a lot of folks in similar situation to yours!
@@jessyeheilman571 you're so right, GP's are great but can't be expected to be experts in everything. Physical therapy and chiropractic care are both viable options for healing an old whiplash injury, and I'm glad to know that you've found relief!
Thank you 😇
@@adsdavidson Please also consider the diagnosis of TMJ. A jaw
misalignment can cause all of these symptoms. I have them too. I am in treatment with a upper cervical chiropractor AND a neuromuscular dentist.
I've got crackling in ears that stop if I put my fingers in my ear...
Interesting! It would be a good idea to consult with an ear, nose, and throat specialist to check that out.
When I talk,I hear the voce in my ear.
How can I fix this?
Please...tel me ...if you know.
sounds like patulous eustachian tube dysfunction
That is called autophony. If it were me, I would consult with an ear nose and throat doctor for a proper diagnosis.
Can stress and anxiety cause your muscles in the neck to tighten and lead to ear problems? Would chiropractors treat this?
I was wondering the same as getting fullness and pressure in my Right Ear and ENT can’t find shit they done MRI and CT Scan and they go it’s all fine but I feel dead!!
@@nikzentertainmentnetwork5640 Doctors (Well, most of them) and ENT's are useless when it comes to ETD and tinnitus. They just say "Learn to live with it", translation "I don't have a clue". And they don't listen to your opinion because they're the "Experts"
@@Onmysheet Absolutely whenever I try suggesting stuff they say who’s qualified me or you!!!? I tried chiropractic Ear adjustment online doing so adjustments myself but even that doesn’t work tried pulling my Eat lobe to drain Eustashion Tube I really want to fix this man!!!! How do your ears feel?
@@nikzentertainmentnetwork5640 They're just slightly clogged. I don't think there's any mucus in the inner ear, so it's probably a muscle issue in the neck caused by stress. The clogged ears is probably a symptom from another root cause.
@@Onmysheet I genuinely still believe I got Eustashion Tube Disfunction and symptoms of Glue Ears but ENT keep saying same thing they say through tests everything normal nothing wrong with you and meditate and do yoga lol I did have Balloon Dilation done one and it helped a bit but only 70% better another ENT said they might repeat Balloon Dilation. Already I’ve been to 11 Hospitals and I’m on my 19th ENT Consultant!!!
Yes i had a sudden jerk to my head and developed eustachian tube dysfunction in left year. It keeps recurring for last eleven years.
It is very disturbing to focus on things.
Consulted ENTs , but it keep coming in seasonal changes.
Which specialist to see.

@@zenithupppercervicalchirop8075 there is no blair centres in our area. I live in Mumbai, India.
I have a question if my eustachain tube dysfunction is getting better with levocitrizine, does it mean it still has connections with c6 c7 cervical bones.
I am in a very confused state.
Do i need to show it to an orthopedic to check if c6,c7 is proper or not.
@@Krish_1222 That wouldn't be a bad idea, considering there are no upper cervical doctors in the area.
@@Krish_1222 Glad to hear that you're improving! Any symptom can have a variety of causes. As much as we try to isolate the one cause, it's often a multi-factored issue. We obviously focus on the structural side of things, but there are other factors. I understand how confusing that can be.
Hi i have cervical spondylosis and recently started hearing a sound like water in my right ear but there is no water in my ear...it is very annoying
That does sound very annoying! You might consider consulting with an upper cervical chiropractor to see if the two are connected.
Just got back from the doc who rather dismiss that ear and neck are related when I tell him I'm twisting my neck to relieve my ear bc such movement did so for most of the blockage ...
He said the chiro is a risk and that I shouldn't go to a neurologist. I feel I need neck traction to pop both neck and ear now.
My neck scan showed a disk issue but not seemingly related yet bc it's on the other side.
Unfortunately I've heard that a lot of patients are dismissed when they asked about a relationship between the neck and the ears. ENT doctors are helpful and well meaning, but this just isn't a mechanism that they are trained in or familiar with. Many of the folks I have helped had similar experiences, so it may be worth a second opinion with an upper cervical chiropractor.
Can I just have clogged ears that can be cleaned out by some dr???
You can see if they need to be cleaned out but if that isn't the case you can consult with an upper cervical chiropractor. You can also see a biological dentist if you have mercury amalgams, root-canaled teeth, and dental cavitations (jawbone osteonecrosis). Some have reported relief after having those procedures done also.
Hey Doublekickflip, that's definitely a possibility. The problem with any symptom is that multiple problems can cause the same symptom - which makes it hard to figure out on your own what thing to treat! If you do consult with an upper cervical doctor, they can help you identify what's causing it for you. Check this directory:
www.blairchiropractic.com/locate-upper-cervical-blair-chiropractic-doctor/
Hi Elizabeth, thanks for your comment! I've noticed that these types of problems are multi-factorial and often take a team approach to achieve complete resolution. So all of those things that you've mentioned and more can be a part of the process to get things taken care of. It all depends on the needs of the patient!

Hi, I have c5-c6 bulging disc. Could this causing my ETD and tinnitus + dizziness ?
It's difficult to answer that question without any in office testing. What we could consider with a patient in that condition is the history of injuries, broader scope of function related to upper cervical spinal health, and then arrive at a diagnosis and treatment plan based on test results.
You have a few options for doctors in your area that can assist with that, search here:

Hello doctor, when I found this video, I thought it is what I am exactly looking for......I understood the reason for my ear dysfunction.....but can u suggest me some measures to prevent it....it would be very helpful for me as I am facing a chronic sinus and ear problems....yes I even realised that I am facing issues with my sleep position particularly at my neck region from quite some time....pls make a video with some tips and exercises to reduce these
Hi Viraji,
I would love to be able to do that for you, but unfortunately there's not generalized approach to provide. In order to help folks we first do an evaluation to figure out exactly what's going on and make recommendations from there.
Eustachi helps
Right
The vagus nerve.
The gut.
The gut-brain connection is undeniable!
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if you have Eustachian Tube Dysfunction, there really is no cure. Coming from someone who has gone to multiple ENTs and having all my tests come back normal, all my doctors just shrugged their shoulders and said there was nothing they could do. Like many other people who have struggled with this disorder, I too have been on multiple antihistimines and nasal sprays because the docs are so sure it's an allergy response. I would advice against holding off on the balloon dilation for awhile until it's more refined. I've heard a lot of cases where it can make things WORSE.
Sorry to hear that you've had that experience, and in fact a lot of our patients with ETD have been down that road as well. We've also heard mixed responses about balloon dilation, but admittedly we won't hear from the folks who have had success.
Our approach is to take a step back and look at the interplay between spinal structure, neurology of the head and neck, and theses conditions. I can see from the fact that you've found our video that you're continuing to research the topic, and we hope that you find an answer for your particular case!
@@zenithupppercervicalchirop8075 Im actually going to a chiropractor soon! I feel like I’ve exhausted all my options
