Many children suffer from ear infections every year. Ear infections account for more than 35 percent of all pediatric visits. Before even reaching one year of age, almost half of all children will have at least one middle ear infection and by the age of 3, that number increases to two-thirds! It is a child’s worst nightmare every time it happens—the pain and agony that they go through with every infection.

Many times as adults we forget what they are like, but if you have had one, you know what these children go through. Chiropractic can help minimize the suffering by making sure that your child’s spine is in alignment. Many times, an ear infection is caused by improper drainage, which could be a result of a subluxation, or misalignment, of vertebrae in the neck. By removing the subluxation, the body may be able to drain the fluids better. Also, by removing subluxations, you boost the communication between the brain and the rest of the body, which includes boosting the immune system to help fight off the infection faster. With this type of illness, there is a place for both traditional medicine and chiropractic, the two disciplines are not mutually exclusive and can work together to help your child feel better faster.

Make sure to include your chiropractor in your first-response plan. Here is what one of our mom's has to say about her little one's success with chiropractic and ear infections.
