As a parent, I know firsthand how heartbreaking it can be to hear your child cry incessantly from ear aches. It’s not surprising that most parents will opt for medical treatment without hesitation, and who can blame them! No one wants to watch their child suffer.

Medical interventions often include antibiotics, and if the problem becomes chronic, as many often do, the next intervention is inserting tubes. “But isn’t there another, less invasive, and more conservative approach?”, you ask. Well, I’m glad you did, because the answer is YES!

A large 1997 study involving 332 children, age 27 days to 5 years, with otitis media that

ranged from mild to severe, chronic to acute. All of the children in the study

experienced improvement in their conditions with chiropractic adjustments alone.

It took on average 5 adjustments over a period of 7-11 days for the condition to resolve. The recurrence rate of ear infections was just 11% when tracked over a 6 month period. Chiropractic works!

Do your children suffer with ear aches? Have their spines checked, and get them adjusted today!
