Due to the holistic approach of chiropractic, more and more individuals look for chiropractors to help their body stay in good health level. Since chiropractic deals with methods that do not involve medicines, but only appeals to physical therapies, exercising and massages that get the spine back on its normal course, people started to look at these techniques as the ones to allow the body heal itself. Chiropractic through its definition and methods tries to reach to the root of the cause which is seen in the existence of the spine, that once it gets displaced interrupts the normal flow of energy that nourishes the body and its resistance to diseases.

Therefore the chiropractic has considered the matter from this point of view, performing various types of pressure (slight or harder) on the spine adjusting the spine in order to optimize its functioning. It has been discovered that misalignment-s that are not properly looked after can lead to nerves irritation in this way disrupting the body’s natural ability to work at its full capacity. Once the spine has been restored its normal shape, the nervous system will begin to function adequately and the body will display its capability to heal itself without the aid of medicines or even surgery.

This is how we reach to the problem of ear infection. Children are most of the times the ones to complain of recurrent ear pain. Doctors believe that due to a birthing process that has somehow misplaced the neck (cervical) vertebrae, managing to disrupt the nerve function and as such affecting the Eustachian tube. This disruption is a possible cause of a fluid gathering inside the middle ear that will further lead to ear infection known as otitis media. In these cases the oral treatment recommended consists in antibiotics, but it has been seen that the ear infection can occur again, the child ending up taking again more antibiotics.

100 years has passed since it has been discovered that the chiropractic techniques work wonders when it comes to the upper respiratory infections, including the otitis media. Once the chiropractic adjustments are performed on the spine, especially on the cervical area, the ear infection seems not to occur again as it did when it was under antibiotics treatment. Many studies have been conducted in this respect on more than 300 children and it has been observed that the ear infection ceased manifesting after a chiropractic technique was applied.

The benefits of chiropractic techniques on the children suffering from recurrent ear infections is that they are performed without any pain, the do not involve any drugs administration in this way no side effects are likely to develop. Performing the chiropractic care on the condition of the spine has rarely given birth to side effects, as an article to belong to Integrative Medicine has recently reported. There is a very low risk of serious side effects during the chiropractic technique applied in the format of low back and neck adjustments, therefore severe complications are seen as non-existent in the chiropractic care of your spine.
