Cervical 4: Ear & Hearing Problems
Many people don't realize that the chiropractic profession all began with a hearing problem. That's right, it's wasn't a back ache or a crick in the neck or even a headache. A deaf patient had their hearing restored simply by adjusting their spine. For those of you who are not aware of this I'll briefly retell the story. In 1895 D.D. Palmer examined the spine of a janitor named Harvey Lillard who was deaf for 17 years. Dr. Palmer discovered a bump on Harvey's spine and proceeded to adjust it back into position and Harvey's hearing was restored. That was the birth of chiropractic. Of course it would take years of research and some huge advances in technology in order to demonstrate and validate what Palmer did that day.
There have been numerous cases of deafness and even blindness corrected since that day with chiropractic. While these events are admitedly unusual, they point to the fact that the nervous system plays a powerful and central role in our health. In my own practice I've seen many kids with earaches and adults with vertigo (an uncontrollable spinning feeling typically caused by problems in the inner ear) get better quickly with correct and precise chiropractic adjustment.
