Otitis Media (Middle Ear Infection)

A record number of children are being affected by ear infections. Chiropractic offers an alternative with a drug-free approach. The most common treatments doctors prescribe for ear infections are antibiotics and tubes in the ears. There is no evidence that antibiotics are effective in treating ear infections and there is clear evidence that antibiotics are harmful. Ear infections are more likely to recur in children given antibiotics. In addition, putting tubes in the ears can create complications, such as scarring and hearing loss.

The Chiropractic Approach

One of the best things you can give a child suffering from an ear infection is good chiropractic care. The ears receive an extensive nerve supply from the spine. By restoring the spine to its proper alignment through chiropractic care, the nerve supply returns to normal and children heal quickly and the ear infections are less likely to recur.

It is important for children to have a spinal checkup with a chiropractor. By keeping the spine in its proper alignment, the children’s natural defenses work against ear infections and other diseases without side effects. Your child will enjoy a visit and greatly benefit from a safer, more natural, drug-free approach through chiropractic.
