Do you often struggle with the feeling of plugged ears, or find yourself battling bouts of dizziness and disequilibrium or veritgo? These symptoms, which can significantly impact your quality of life, may be signs of Eustachian Tube Dysfunction (ETD). At The Health League our chiropractors have extensive training and expertise in diagnosing and treating ETD using a gentle intra oral soft tissue treatment, no adjusting required! We can help you find the relief you’ve been seeking.
What is Eustachian Tube Dysfunction?
Eustachian Tube Dysfunction occurs when the Eustachian tube, responsible for equalizing ear pressure and draining fluid from the middle ear, becomes blocked or fails to open properly. This can lead to a range of symptoms including:
- Persistent feeling of plugged or full ears.
- Difficulty in equalizing ear pressure, especially noticeable during flights or altitude changes.
- Experiences of dizziness, disequilibrium, or vertigo.
- Feeling like water is trapped in the ears.
Identifying Eustachian Tube Dysfunction
Determining whether you have ETD involves recognizing several key symptoms. Do you frequently experience ear fullness, have trouble with ear pressure during flights, or suffer from balance issues? These can all be indicators of Eustachian Tube Dysfunction. Accurate diagnosis, however, requires a professional evaluation, and we at The Health League are equipped to provide just that.
