Ear infections and Chiropractic?

Parents are beginning to turn to chiropractors more and more to complement their children’s health care. They are aware of the benefits of gentle adjustments and relief of nerve stress through corrections. Slight pressure is usually applied as opposed to the firmer forceful pressure adults experience.
While chiropractors love to see children and work with their spinal health and growth issues, ear pain still tends to be the number one reason for children 's visits to chiropractors. Many Chiropractors propose a compelling link between the birthing process and chronic otitis media, otherwise known as ear infections. Upon delivery cervical (neck) vertebrae can become misaligned, causing issues with nerve function, and in turn affecting the eustachian tube. Fluid buildup can occur leading to ear infections. 

Ear infections account for over 1/3 of all pediatrician visits in Canada. The normal and most frequent treatment is anti-biotics and does not always prove effective, in fact they could lead to further issues and recurrences of otitis media. It's no wonder so many more mom's are seeking chiropractic help for their children. One of the contributing factors to ear issues and the eustachian tube where fluid drains is that the tube is more horizontal in kids but tends to become downward as they get older.  This is a reason why infections naturally occur less often as the body matures.  In the meantime chiropractors can help deal with kid's issues.
