Giving Up Versus Getting Help

Many times when I have a stiff problem, my first reaction is to lie down. I just want to give up. I want to curl into a ball and stop fighting.

Then, after a while, I’ll get up and get to work.

Some problems in our lives we accept as chronic. There’s nothing we can do about them. But if we ask for help, we might find there are solutions. For instance, many people think there is nothing they can do about their tinnitus (ringing in the ear, about 55% of Americans suffer from this). But there are things you can do. None of the solutions may “cure” tinnitus, but some of them can help reduce its severity.

Report: Alexander Technique is considered to improve the flow of blood to the ear. It is believed to be beneficial when the tinnitus is accompanied by vertigo.

Tinnitus refers to a condition when any sound becomes intolerable to a person. Generally, tinnitus patients feel pain in their ears due to any sound. This dreadful disease can attack anyone through various ways and it never spares youths also. While some people develop tinnitus over a longer period of time, some get this suddenly after hearing a loud sound. Apart from this, there are other reasons that can create tinnitus e.g. severe headache, ear irritation, adverse drug reaction, Williams’ syndrome, Autism, Bell’s palsy, Asperger syndrome, minor head injury, chronic ear infections and others. Presently, this disease affects 55% inhabitants of the U.S.A. As medical science has advanced a lot in this modern era, there is nothing to be afraid about tinnitus. Nowadays, there are several ways to cure tinnitus. The Alexander Technique is one of the fruitful techniques to cure tinnitus.

A totally hands-on teaching method, ‘The Alexander Technique’, was invented by Frederick Matthias Alexander, which usually encourages all the physiological processes to work more effectively and to attenuate physical discomfort and stresses. Generally an ‘Alexander technician’ uses his hands to release muscular tension in a polite way to improve any misalignment of the ear-bone structure. It is even considered a way to improve the flow of blood to the ear. ‘The Alexander Technique’ also proves to be beneficial when tinnitus is accompanied by vertigo.
