Ear Infections and Chiropractic Care

Recurrent ear infections are a painful occurrence to children and a frustrating experience to their parents. The nerves that control sinus drain to relieve pressure on the ears originate in the brainstem (at the level of the base of the skull) and at the top of the cervical spine (top of the neck region).

Chiropractic care helps to alleviate any irritation of these nerves. By doing this it can help stimulate lymphatic drainage and clear any debris (fluid, bacteria and viruses) away from the ears. Often parents of children who have received chiropractic care say their child has never had another ear infection since.
