Can reflexology or acupuncture help tinnitus?

my son suffers from tinnitus. he always has loud music playing to drown out the ringing. i know it gets him down. would alternative medicine help

Can't comment on (reflexology or acupuncture as they're not my field - although if it is the right therapy for you, you would see nice results) but in the last couple of years, I've treated 10 long-standing cases of tinnitus with Homoeopathy. 6 have no symptoms at all now. 2 others have improved somewhat & the other 2 only noticed minimal improvements. It is a difficult one but as with all things, it's about getting to the cause of the symptom rather than the symptom itself.
Other tips I give are take zinc in a multivitamin as lack of zinc is associated with tinnitus. Vitamin B12 helps noise-induced tinnitus (take in a B complex). Ginkgo Biloba increases circulation to the ear so might help.
Check your teeth - impacted wisdom teeth and tooth decay can both be behind this problem. Cranial osteopathy can release tensions in the neck & head which can trigger tinnitus. Hope this helps - good luck. Source(s): Nurse. Registered Homoeopath

no, try science, it has seemed to work in the past.
if that doesn't help, he is probably possessed
Look into hypnotherapy - can teach your son to relax etc. Supposed to be helpful.
I guess you could give it a go. It must be awful for him. I'm not a big believer in alternative midicine, but its worth a shot.
acupressure are acupuncture will help probably
The best thing for Tinnitus is Auricular Therapy....also known as Hopi ear Candle Therapy...most Holistic or beauty salons offer this treatment...the cost is around 拢18...
Reflexology can help but a course of treatments is recomended.......
