Freedom from pain and pressure
Experiencing days with less head or facial pain and shaping work, sleep and leisure more freely again.
Condition
Dizziness, Tinnitus and/or Migraine
Individual treatment in Potsdam
Looking at the body as a whole – so that orientation, calm, resilience and a sense of security can regain more room in everyday life.
Examining connections in a differentiated way
Why these topics are considered together
You do not need to have all three symptoms for this page to be relevant to you. Often only dizziness, only tinnitus or only migraine occurs. Sometimes two of them appear together. It is rather rare for all three to be present at the same time.
They are not identical illnesses, but in a sense physical "cousins": on the level of the personal map, similar underlying influences can appear. These include, for example, the upper cervical spine, the jaw and TMD (temporomandibular dysfunction), dental status, stress and the way the nervous system processes stimuli. In my therapeutic experience, tension and fascial disorders in the area of the upper cervical spine are frequently found with these topics. However, this does not replace precise neurological, ENT, ophthalmological or dental diagnostics.
The goal is not to organise your life more and more around the symptoms. Load limits should be identified so that they can be shifted step by step through appropriate treatment and exercises. You should be able to orient yourself more securely again, process stimuli better, become more active and increasingly trust your body.
Goals of treatment
What could change?
Orientation and security
Walking, turning your head, standing up and moving through busy environments with more confidence again.
Calm
Experiencing phases in which ear noises, inner restlessness or physical alertness take up less room.
Clarity and concentration
Following reading, screen work and conversations for longer again and coping better with mental tasks.
Balance
Coordinating eyes, balance, jaw, neck and body movement more effectively with one another again.
Resilience and performance
Working, travelling, doing sport and enjoying social situations again, while the body increasingly tolerates more stimuli and activity.
Is this right for me?
Who is this treatment suitable for?
The treatment is particularly aimed at people
- who suffer from dizziness, tinnitus and/or migraine,
- who experience only one of these topics or a combination of two symptoms,
- whose intensity fluctuates or is influenced by certain situations,
- who also perceive stiffness or restrictions in the neck, upper cervical joints or jaw,
- who would like to place existing medical or dental findings into an overall physical picture,
- who want to increase their resilience and take part in everyday life again with more security, concentration and activity,
- who want to adjust exercises and self-help independently in the long term.
Typical situations
When does the situation make itself felt?
- when getting up or turning over
- when turning or tilting the head
- when walking along busy streets or through shops
- during screen work or fast visual impressions
- after prolonged sitting or high neck tension
- when clenching, grinding or chewing
- during stress, exhaustion or lack of sleep
- with pressure behind the eyes or in the head
- with impaired concentration or vision
- during sport, car journeys or travel
- at rest, when an ear noise is perceived particularly clearly
From examination to self-help
How I work
Precisely distinguishing your situation
At the beginning, we clarify which of the three topics occurs in your case, how it feels, when it starts and which medical examinations have already taken place. The symptoms are not treated as one and the same, but carefully distinguished.
Creating a personal map
The whole body is examined, with particular focus on the upper cervical spine, the upper cervical joints, the jaw, dental status, eye and head movement, balance and stress regulation. Existing findings are incorporated into the overall picture.
Initiating targeted changes
The jaw, neck and upper cervical joints are often treated manually and fascially. Depending on the examination, individually dosed mobilisations as well as balance, eye, coordination or strength exercises can also be used.
Shifting load limits and becoming more independent
You learn to recognise your current load limits – not to remain below them permanently, but to shift them step by step. To this end, you receive exercises and learn to adjust intensity, frequency and scope independently to your progress.
Deciding well informed
Frequently asked questions about dizziness, tinnitus and/or migraine
They are not identical illnesses and often occur on their own. On the physical level, however, similar influencing factors can appear.
These include, for example, the upper cervical spine, the jaw and TMD, dental status and stress. That is why they are considered together at the broader level, while the specific examination clearly distinguishes between the individual symptoms.
Yes. Most people do not have all three at the same time. Often only one of the symptoms exists, or a combination of two topics.
What matters is whether factors can be found in your personal map that can be examined and specifically changed.
Yes, medical assessment is important, especially for new, suddenly severe or unusual symptoms. This applies, among other things, to sudden hearing loss, neurological abnormalities, a very intense new type of headache or pronounced unsteadiness.
Existing medical, dental or imaging findings are taken into account in the further assessment.
Yes, the upper cervical spine, the upper cervical joints or the jaw can often have a relevant influence. In some people, dizziness, ear noises or migraine change together with the tension and movement of these areas.
However, this does not replace precise diagnostics. What matters is whether the connection can be plausibly demonstrated in your personal examination.
A firm promise would not be serious. However, a significant improvement or even a complete resolution may be possible if the symptoms are essentially maintained by treatable tension, fascial disorders or other changeable factors.
This cannot be reliably determined in advance. However, a noticeable change should become apparent after roughly four treatments at the latest – for example in frequency, intensity, head movement, balance, concentration or resilience. Afterwards, it is reviewed which assumptions have been confirmed and whether the treatment approach should be adjusted.
Mobilisations for the neck and specially selected exercises for the eyes, balance, coordination or jaw can be helpful. Which exercises make sense should initially be selected and carefully taught by a therapist.
Over time, you learn to adjust the intensity, frequency and duration of your exercises on your own. The goal is not to avoid load permanently, but to increase your resilience – and with it your quality of life – step by step.
