Ear infections and
Chiropractic
Ear infections (commonly the middle ear) are often seen in
babies and children under 6 year-old as their immunity is still developing.
It
frequently presents after a cold and often resolves on its own. However,
symptoms such as earache, headache, difficulty sleeping, loss of appetite and
more can be disabling for both the parents and the child.
How can we manage ear infections through Chiropractic care?
Spinal manipulations are done to enhance the biomechanics of the spine and
restore nerve activities that are responsible for mediating temperature and
fluid level of the body.
Cervical adjustments also help drain away lymphatic
build up in the head and neck region caused by muscle tightness. This will
indirectly restore proper function of the Eustachian tube-which is heavily
involved in the reoccurrence of middle ear infection, also known as Otitis
Media. These adjustments are also helpful in building up the immunity of the
child in the long run for optimal functioning of the body.
Even though antibiotics that serve to attack bacteria are
commonly prescribed to treat ear infections, most cases of ear infections are
actually caused by viruses.
Repetitive usage of antibiotic is also proven to
contribute to future infections according to the Journal of the American
Medical Association.
