Hi,

Thank you for providing the brief history of you. As mentioned by you, that you have pain in the neck and tingling sensation. Apparently as per your history mentioned neither the ENT nor the chiropractor was helpful.

Well, first i will advice you to take the MRI of the cervical spine and also perform some orthopedic special tests prior to MRI to assess the cervical spine. With the help of MRI the understanding of the soft tissue is better as we can visualize the inner body structures. Also, due to any nerve impingement there will be a persistent neck pain and also some swooshing sound in the ears.

For neck pain and the swooshing sound in your left ear i will recommend further to undergo physical therapy. The use of therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy will first help reduce the pain in the neck. Also the latter part will focus on the exercises.

Exercises will be focused on the Strengthening of the muscles of the neck and also Vestibular rehabilitation exercises which will help reduce the sound in your ears. Now vestibular rehabilitation helps the movement of the fluid in the vestibular system, as dude to the inability of the vestibular system to function properly the swooshing sound is heard.

Physical therapist have been helpful to many patients in this conditions of neck pain and swooshing sound. It is a non invasive therapy and not only it reduces the pain but also will help you avoid future complains.

I have personally have 99% success rate of my patients with physical therapy.
