Understanding Ear Infections

While ear infections are common in children, adults can get them too. Most infections happen in the middle ear (otitis media) and are caused by a blockage in the eustachian tube (the passage from the back of the nose to the space behind the eardrum).

Most ear infections are cases of acute otitis media (occasional) and happen when bacteria spread from the back of the nose through the eustachian tube. A virus can also cause a middle ear infection, but this is more rare.

Chronic ear infections are often the result of an acute ear infection that doesn’t completely resolve on its own or after antibiotics. While children are more likely to get chronic or recurring ear infections because they have shorter eustachian tubes, adults can have frequent ear infections if they:

  • Smoke or live with smokers
  • Have seasonal or year-round allergy symptoms
  • Have a cold or other upper respiratory infection

Chronic ear infections may go untreated because they are less common than acute ear infections, and symptoms may be less severe. However, untreated or frequent ear infections can damage hearing.

Symptoms of an Ear Infection

The symptoms of an ear infection may be constant or intermittent and can occur in one or both ears. Most people with middle ear infections symptoms will feel:

  • Mild pain that feels like pressure in the ear
  • Low-grade fever
  • Pus-like drainage from the ear
  • Muffled hearing
  • Sore throat
  • Balance issues (rare)

Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Ear Infections

While bacterial infections often cause ear infections, your body mechanics play a role in promoting or preventing recurring ear infections. For example, a misaligned spine can compress nerves in the upper cervical area (your neck). This pressure can interrupt nerve signals to the eustachian tubes, making it more difficult for them to drain properly. Chiropractic care, like spinal adjustments, can release this pressure and help our body clear the infection.

  • Improve lymphatic system function. The lymphatic system helps remove bacteria and viruses from your body. Many lymph nodes are located near your spine, and a misaligned spine may place pressure on them. Chiropractic adjustments can reduce this pressure and ensure your lymphatic system functions properly.
  • Release cervical pressure. Even if your lymphatic system is fine, pressure in your upper cervical region can prevent your ear canal from draining during an active ear infection. Chiropractic care can release this pressure and reduce fluid buildup in the ears.
  • Natural pain relief. Specialized chiropractic care and massage focuses on your neck, head, and back to encourage drainage and reduce fluid buildup for drug-free relief.
