Ear Infection: 

How can Chiropractic care help: 

​

Chances are that either you or someone you are acquainted with has experienced an ear infection. Actually, 80 percent of kids will receive a diagnosis of an ear infection by the time they turn three years old. However, what makes them so prevalent? Frequently, ear infections are the result of a bacterial or viral infection that can impact the inner, middle, or outer ear. Fluid build-up in the ear is caused by swollen or blocked eustachian tubes connecting the ear to the back of the throat, resulting in an ear infection. Signs of the condition may consist of ear discomfort, reduced hearing, vertigo, or disrupted equilibrium.

This condition can cause a lot of pain and be especially limiting for children who are younger than 5 years old. While it may be tough to witness your child experiencing pain, opting for antibiotics right away for an ear infection may not be the most effective solution.

Chiropractic treatment is an effective method for managing and alleviating pain and discomfort from ear infections. Regular chiropractic treatment offers patients with ear infections a secure, non-invasive, non-addictive option to prescription drugs or over-the-counter pain medications commonly used to manage pain and swelling.

Chiropractors administer a gentle, non-invasive, non-addictive treatment called a chiropractic adjustment. Chiropractic adjustments aim to decrease joint limitations or misalignments in the spine and other body joints to decrease inflammation and enhance the functionality of the affected joint and nervous system. By enhancing the flexibility of your joints and enhancing the function of your nervous system and spinal health, your body can better cope with the pain from ear infections.

Listed are a few of the health advantages chiropractic care and adjustments can offer individuals with ear infections.

​

• Improved coordination.

• Relief from pain and discomfort.

In order to determine if chiropractic treatment is suitable for your condition, the chiropractor at Spinal Solutions will conduct a consultation and examination, and if needed, may recommend diagnostic imaging like x-ray or MRI. According to the results of your chiropractic evaluation and consultation, your chiropractor might choose to collaborate with other medical professionals, such as massage therapists, physical therapists, or primary care physicians, to treat your ear infection.
