A CHIROPRACTOR IS A DIFFRENT DR DEGREE THAN A DR.
MY HUBBY GOS TO THE CHIROPRATOR. HE THOUGHT WE WOULD TRY IT ONE DAY, AND HE KEEPED GOING BACK, NOW A YR LATER IF HE DOSE NOT GO HE HURTS MORE THEN WHAT HE DID ORIGANLY.
MY LITTLE SISTER HAD TUBES IN HER EARS.THE INFECTIONS WERE STARTING TO MAKE HER LOSE HEARING. WHEN SHE WAS 10 YRS OLD THE TUBES SLIPPED OUT AND SHE DOSENOT GET AN EAR INFECTION AGAIN.
I AM PRONE TO THEM. IF I GO SWIMMING I CANT PUT MY HEAD UNDERWATER. SAME WITH A BATH. I HAVE TO MAKE EXTRA SURE THEY ARE DRY AFTER A SHOWER. THERE ARE OTHER REASONS WHY PEOPLE GET EAR INFECTIONS, NOT JUST BECOUSE SOMETHING IS NOT ALINGED RIGHT AND THE FLUIDS ARE NOT GETTING OUT.
YES ITS ALOT OF MONEY. BUT EAR INFECTIONS FREAKIN HURT BAD,BAD.AND THEN YOU HAVE ALL KINDS OF OTHER ISSUSES IF NOT TREATED QUICKLY. I WOULD NOT RISK MY CHILDS HEALTH. I WOULD FIND THE MONEY ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. CHIROPRACTOR IS NOT A GURANNTEE. AND WHAT IF SHE IS HURTING AND THE OFFICE IS CLOSED? OR IF SHE HAS TO HAVE THIS DONE FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE?

| I have heard it is great, it re aligns them so that their ears drain properly on their own. If you ask me it's worth trying because the tubes in the ears is horrible.

| I swear by it. Our whole family goes to the chiro now. My son had tons of ear infections as a baby, and got tubes at 16 months. Then we found out about the chiro and started taking him. He's 4 now, both tubes have fallen out, and he hasn't had a single ear infection since. My daughter is just over 1 now, and has only had two ear infections. One cleared up with chiro and no antibiotics. Did use antibiotics with the other, but probably didn't have to. We go at least once a month. It's definitely worth it!

| I was in the exact same situation with my son at the same age and went to the chiro to try as a last ditch effort to avoid the tubes. Since we have started going to the chiro he has not used anti biotics once! It has been amazing. Also, I am a main stream type peron, not into "alternative" stuff at all, so for me to even try this was a miracle, lol. She does adjust him when he gets infections, but I also use cut up garlic, put it in cotton and it goes in his ears every few hours. That works perfectly, infection is gone in a few days. I have also made some huge changes in his diet, no sugar was a big one. Especially when he is sick, I am super strict on his diet.

I swear by my chiro for myself and my 5 yr old son. It's all about the drainage, and the adjustments definitely help. He had his first adjustment when he was about your daughter's age and has been going every so often ever since.
He's actually going right now because he's been stuffed up for 2 weeks without any other symptoms and after 2 adjustments it's starting to break.
You also might want to look into making some dietary changes. Wheat, dairy, etc. Good luck to you! I hope she gets some relief.

My 18 month old daughter has had 8 ear infections in the last 10 months. We are now going to pursue tubes in her ears, but are not excited about the procedure nor the expense.
Someone recently told me about chiropractors who do manipulation to eliminate ear infections. I have looked it up on the web and lo and behold, there are several in our area who do this. I do not totally understand the theory behind it, but it seems to be related to nervous control of the lymphatic drainage of the ears.
Does anyone have experience with this? Positive or negative. I'm sure it wouldn't hurt my daughter, but I don't want to throw money and time away.
Any suggestions or insights are welcomed.
