Abstract
Manual therapy of the cranial bones for restoration of normal alignment and cranial rhythm and myofascial release technique to deactivate tender points on the lateral pterygoid had a significant effect on reducing the persistent tinnitus in both patients. At one-year follow up, both patients reported significant improvement in their quality of life and social interactions without recurrence of their tinnitus symptoms. The findings of this study suggest that cranial manual therapy and myofascial release technique could be a potential treatment for somatic tinnitus in patients with no otic pathology or temporomandibular disorders.
