The Role of Chiropractic in Treatment of Otitis Media with Effusion

Otitis media with effusion is a disease of multifactoral aetiology, with musculoskeletal eustachain tube dysfunction being one possible causative factor of the middle ear effusion. This pilot study demonstrates the effectiveness of chiropractic spinal manipulative therapy in clearing the middle ear effusion found in chronic or persistent otitis media, by correcting the musculoskeletal eustachian tube dysfunction.
