How Your Neck Causes Tinnitus - Dr Centeno Answers Ep.3
"Can problems in your neck cause tinnitus?
In this short video, Dr. Chris Centeno explains how craniocervical instability (CCI) may contribute to different types of tinnitus.
Tinnitus can present as ringing, buzzing, or pulsatile sounds and is often linked to loud noise exposure, ear trauma, or medical conditions such as otosclerosis and Meniere’s disease. Dr. Centeno discusses how instability in the upper cervical spine can affect the C2 spinal nerve and nearby cranial nerves, potentially triggering tinnitus symptoms.
This episode explores the neck–ear connection, why tinnitus may have a cervical cause in some patients, and how non-surgical treatment options may be considered once other causes are ruled out.
