Ear infections are a common ailment in children, causing pain and disruption to daily life. While traditional medical treatment often involves antibiotics, many parents are seeking alternative methods to provide relief for their child's symptoms. One such method is the ear adjustment, a chiropractic treatment that has been shown to be effective in providing relief for a variety of ear-related conditions, including earaches, ear pressure, congestion, vertigo, and dizziness. It can also be helpful in cases of ear infections, whether they are caused by viral or bacterial infections or by pressure changes in the ear.

The ear adjustment is a non-specific adjustment, or mobilization technique, that can release pressure on the inner and middle ear. It is performed by a "J" hook adjustment, where the bottom of the ear lobe is held with the physician's thumb and index finger while pulling down and out in a quick, scooping motion. This may result in a loud "pop" or "crackling" sound.


Symptom relief from ear adjustments has been seen in both children and adults suffering from ear aches, ear pressure, congestion, vertigo, dizziness, and ear infections. It is often most effective in babies and children with known ear infections, ear aches, or those who are seen rubbing or pulling their ears. Adults suffering from seasonal allergies or pressure in the ear from activities like swimming may also benefit from ear adjustments.
