A study in the March 29th,
2004 issue of the Journal of Vertebral
Subluxation Research reports that 95% of
children with acute ear infections
experienced a return to normal after a
short course of chiropractic care.
Twenty one children with acute otitis
media participated in the study. 9 were
females and 12 were males, ranging in
age from 9 months to 9 years old. All
of the children examined revealed red
and bulging eardrums in the affected
ears and an increased average
temperature of 100F degrees.
After a short course of chiropractic
care, the children were re-examined.
95% of the children’s eardrums had
returned to normal along with a decrease
in average temperature to 98.6F degrees.
Before receiving the adjustments, the
severity of the symptoms in the children
was rated at an average of 7.524 on a
0-10 point scale. After receiving the
adjustments, the severity of the
symptoms had subsided to a mere 0.470 on
the same 0-10 point scale.
Noting the remarkable results, the
authors point out that this study is
clearly strong enough to warrant a
larger clinical trial.
Commentary: Previous studies have shown
that children with ear infections heal
faster with chiropractic care. In fact
anyone, no matter what condition they
have or don’t have, will benefit from a
better functioning spine-free of nerve
interference.
