You probably know a child who suffers from regular ear infections. In fact, 66% of children have experienced at least one case of middle ear infection, also known as acute otitis media, by the time they turn two. Chiropractors have expressed concerns about this high rate of ear infections in children, and have been making efforts to educate parents about helping to prevent ear infections in youngsters.
Chiropractors take a multi-pronged approach to treating ear infections. Their approach may involve techniques such as nutritional recommendations and changes, spinal care techniques, and other processes. Chiropractors’ approaches are drug-free and holistic, and may be effective in helping to treat ear infections in young children.
Research has recently shown that chiropractic care approaches may be helpful in reducing the pain and discomfort associated with ear infections and ear pain. The Journal of Manipulative Physiological Therapeutics recently published a study demonstrating the efficacy of chiropractic care on young children suffering from ear infections. Of the 46 study participants, 93% received relief from their ear infections within ten days of chiropractic treatment.
