ears ringing and dizziness.
she has been suffering from these symptoms for the past 20 years. recently, she has not been going to the hospital at all because of the limitation of the hospital treatment, and she has been living her life as she pleases.
the ringing in her ears is like the buzzing of a cicada, and it goes on and on. when she stands up, turn around, or look at something moving, she feel staggered and dizzy.
she has hazy vision and sometimes sees things in multiple layers. she had a circulatory system surgery the year before and suffered from physical fatigue due to rapid weight loss.
she is afraid to take a bath and sometimes feels like falling down when she stands up from the bathroom.

she wondered if it would ever go away since she had been suffering from it for a long time and came to the decision to come to our clinic on the recommendation of her family.

visual observation and palpation

she had a straight neck, heavy tension in her shoulders and neck area, and pain was strong even with light manipulation, so we decided to use light manual therapy and focus on acupuncture.
