For anyone who still associates chiropractic care only with back pain, they have a hard time understanding how an adjustment can have any effect upon an infection in a child's ear. It comes down to the fact that the nerves are responsible for communication in all areas of the body. Simply, if the nerve coming from the brain and going to the tissue around the Eustachian tube (the tube that drains the fluid from the inner ear) is being irritated, it can cause inflammation around the Eustachian tube and not allow it to drain properly. When the fluid, that is naturally present, is not allowed to drain it builds up in the middle ear. This excess fluid is a great place for microbes like viruses and bacteria to grow. If an antibiotic is given, it may kill the bacteria but will do nothing for the fluid. Chiropractic adjustments on the other hand restore the normal communication of the body, reduce the inflammation and allow the fluid to drain. If the fluid is not allowed to build up the microbes have nothing to grow in.
