What’s up with my ears?

@seekinginfo @tsjimt Seekinginfo makes a very valid point that can be easily missed. I have experienced vertigo because of muscle spasms that move my cervical vertebrae by either twisting them or tilting them independent of any of my voluntary neck movements. The vertebral arteries run up the inside of these vertebrae and that is part of the blood supply to the brain. If vertebrae gets turned, those arteries get stretched and perhaps narrowed and that caused vertigo for me. Realigning my neck correctly resolved it completely. Allergies also increase ear fullness and pressure/pain in the ears. I think a physical therapist could be very helpful in diagnosing to determine if spinal alignment is correct, and if not, then to be able to provide treatment. I also have a condition called thoracic outlet syndrome that causes neck/shoulder tightness, and it is worse on one side, so that sets up the scenario for rotation to occur due to muscle spasm. TOS can be caused by a whiplash injury, bad posture, a repetitive stress injury or even be congenital based on physical build.

@jenniferhunter I have had these problems in my neck and shoulders for years. No one seems to help the pain. What have you done to relieve the pressure? PT has worked on the area at different times but the problem remains. I do stretching exercises daily. Who realigned
your neck? Are your issues completely gone? What about a chiropractor? Any thoughts would be great. Thanks for sharing all the info. Take care KLH
