Understanding Ear Infection

Ear infections, or otitis media, can cause serious pain and other problems. The area just behind the eardrum, where the bones of the middle ear reside, is supposed to be kept clean and dry by ventilation from a passage called the Eustachian tube (which connects to the nose and throat). When blockage from a cold or allergy reduces this ventilation, germs can multiply and produce an infection. Such blockages occur more frequently in children than in adults, probably because the Eustachian tube is smaller and less resilient. Blocked, swollen lymph glands can also close off the Eustachian tube.

The most notorious symptoms of an ear infection is an intense earache, which may be a constant source of pain or produce recurring bouts of sharp pain with drainage. Hearing loss, nausea, and a stuffed-up feeling in the ear may also be present.

How Our Oviedo Chiropractor Can Help

Why would corrective chiropractic treatment help an earache heal? Keep in mind that chiropractic adjustments aim to improve nerve function by removing impingement from misaligned spinal structures. When nerves aren't functioning at their best, your brain has trouble telling your body what to do. This includes the instructions that normally govern lymph gland function and other immune system functions. By correcting a misalignment in the cervical spine, our Oviedo chiropractor can help the body behave more normally and mobilize its healing powers more efficiently. The Eustachian tube can then drain as it should, relieving pressure and pain while providing the right environment for germs to be killed off.

Chiropractic adjustments for ear infections are equally safe for both children and adults. The only difference is that we use less force in correcting the cervical vertebrae in our pediatric patients; the adjustment itself is the same.
