I will give you some direction and you can do the research. This is what I would look into:1. The common symptoms are dizziness, vertigo and tinnitus. I would refer them out to a CHEK Level 3 or higher for a full upper quarter assessment. I am not saying that they can cure this person, but they can assist in the healing process. These symptoms can come from an atlas Subluxation, TMJ issues, hypertonic suboccipitals (the rectus capitus posterior minor actually attaches to the dura mater of the spine), forward head posture (C7-T1 impinging a nerve root that supplies motor and sensory information to the head), and so forth. I am sure lots of people are going to give you western advice, so I will give some eastern.2. In TCM, this is either what is called Liver yang rising or Kidney yin deficiency. When Liver yang or qi/heat, etc rises, it can be from food and emotions. This is common when someone gets angry and their eyes get red (the eyes are the tissue of the liver). When the liver rises, it is going in the opposite direction of where it should be going. So you commonly see headaches, dizziness, ringing in the ears that is loud and will not go away, etc. When there is kidney yin deficiency, the ringing in the ears goes away when you cover them. With the other symptoms of this disease, I would assume Liver yang rising (plus some other pathomechanisms) that is causing it. When liver yang rises, it can create heat, wind, qi and blood deficiency, which creates the other symptoms elsewhere in the body. I would refer them to a TCM practitioner for a more thorough evaluation (as well as a CHEK Level 3 or higher). Remember, there are many pieces to the healing puzzle!
