Chiropractic care is one of the best things you can give a child suffering from an ear infection. Chiropractic is not a treatment for ear infections, yet I have noticed chiropractic's profound effect on ears and hearing: The nerves in our body control everything, including our immune system. Restoring the spine to its proper alignment through chiropractic care should result in the return of normal nerve supply and a better immune system function for fight off disease and infection.
