Chiropractic doesn’t “cure” an ear infection, but it DOES facilitate draining of the Eustachian tube!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A Eustachian tube that doesn’t drain properly causes ➡️ built-up fluid ➡️ which can become stagnant ➡️ which can lead to infection.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Gentle chiropractic adjustments (no “neck cracking”) activate the trigeminal nerve, which causes the tensor veli palatini (TVP) muscle to work better, allowing the fluid in the ears to eventually drain.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A study published in the Journal of Clinical Chiropractic Pediatrics studied 332 children with chronic ear infections. Each child, ranging in age from 27 days to 5 years, was given a series of chiropractic adjustments.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The results show that close to 80% of the children did not experience another ear infection within the six-month period following their initial visits. The six-month period included maintenance treatments every four to six weeks.

I’ve seen firsthand at Dr. Ashley Family Chiropractic in Sioux Falls how gentle adjustments can help your little one.
