Going to a chiropractor has many benefits. Many people wonder when they should see a chiropractor. You can go regularly as a preventative measure, or you can go for a specific purpose. Here are a couple reasons that people see a chiropractor.

1. Ear Infections

Ear infections are very common in children, but adults can get them too. They are caused from stagnant fluid in the inner ear that becomes infected. Generally speaking, you need to get the ear to drain the fluid to take care of the infection, or you can treat it with an antibiotic. If you have frequent ear infections, taking antibiotics often can be dangerous. This is why it is best if you can treat it naturally first.

A chiropractor doesn't use medication to treat problems. Instead, they do adjustments that heal the body safely and naturally. With an ear infection the chiropractor will do an adjustment on the head and neck that will encourage the ear to drain. Once the fluid starts moving, the infected fluid should take care of itself. This is why seeing a chiropractor for an ear infection is a great and even superior option to seeing a medical doctor.

2. Pregnancy

Many women choose to see a chiropractor during their pregnancy; this is for many reasons. One of the most common being that a chiropractor can help with discomfort during that time. Many times the woman's hips will hurt and they might experience pain in their back this is generally caused by the pressure of the baby resting on the hips and lower back. When you see a chiropractor they will help to position the baby correctly so that there is not as much pressure on the hips or the joints.

Second, the chiropractor can help to reposition the baby for delivery. If the baby is breech or posterior the mother may have a hard time delivering and could even need a caesarian section. When you go to a chiropractor weeks before delivery they can help to change the position so that delivery is safer.

3. Whiplash 

Car accidents are a common reason to see the chiropractor. If you have recently been in an accident where you experienced whiplash you need an adjustment to get your spine realigned and back into place. The safest way to do this is with an experienced chiropractor. They can help with the pain and get you healing faster.

These are just a few of the many reasons people see a chiropractor.
