Chiropractic and Ear Infections

Have you ever been awakened in the middle of the night by a sobbing child in pain with an ear infection?

Ear infections usually cause a fever in excess of 102 degrees. Pediatricians treat ear infections with antibiotics most of the time.

One case study involving over 4,000 children, found that spinal motion restricted in the upper neck induced ear infections.

Chiropractors do not treat ear infections, but if your child is getting chronic ear infections, they may have nerve interference. This condition can be relieved by a chiropractic adjustment.

    Is it common for adults to get ear infections? I heard it wasn't.

    Dr. Bob,

    Thanks for the information! But, I thought that ear infections were some type of virus or bacteria!

    Hi Sue,
    Sorry to hear about your ear ache. We put warm salt water in the ear 3 times per day for 7 days. Works very well.

    Thank you,

    Dr. Bob Feel Good

    Hi Pete,
    Bacteria,etc. can multiply in the ears and cause problems. It is smart to keep the ears in great shape.

    Thanks for the visit,

    Candy,
    See your chiropractor or M.D. right away. Some people put a few drops of hydrogen peroxide in their ears 3 times per day.

    Thanks,

    Dr. Bob Moulas

    Hi Loan Guy,
    It is a good idea to check with your chiropractor or medical doctor if you have any issues with your ears. Sooner then later.
    Thanks,
