Ear Infections
Tinnitus is more common in the population over 55 years where it is estimated that 30% have the condition. Although the medical community lists the cause of tinnitus as unknown, there have been studies that show that it can be associated with certain risk factors. According to some studies, 22% of tinnitus cases were in individuals who had prolonged loud noise exposure. In 17% of cases, the person had some kind of a head or neck injury, and in 10% of the cases, the individuals had suffered a previous ear infection.

Infectious Diseases
Chiropractors do not claim to treat infectious diseases. What chiropractic does is allow your body to function free of nerve system interference and closer to your full potential. Understanding the spread of infectious disease and how best to defend yourself can lessen the fear as well as your chances of being impacted by infectious pathogens.
In the study discussion, the authors wrote, "A degree of pain control was achieved in the context of what was almost certainly going to be a surgical case. However, the return of reproductive function and the reduction in medication intake indicates a system returning to normal. Patient self-reports regarding mood and antidepressant usage, as well as anecdotal (observational) data by the Chiropractor indicate a significant improvement in mental health and coping."
In this case, a 55-year-old man presented himself to the chiropractor to see if he could get help with his tinnitus. The man had seen a neurologist who conducted an MRI but could not offer any help. It was the neurologist who referred the patient to a chiropractor.

This study documents the case of a 42-year-old man who went to the chiropractor primarily to see if chiropractic could help his long-standing back problems. He was a bricklayer and the pain in his lower back, buttocks and legs was so severe that it was limiting his ability to do his job. Prior MRI and CT scans had confirmed the presence of a disc herniation.
Both professional and amateur athletes test the limits of their bodies while performing their sports. A body that is functioning at less than 100%, due to subluxations, will be more prone to injury. This is another reason why many athletes are under regular maintenance chiropractic care. Avoiding injuries is the best way to stay in the game.
Physical Therapy
The Journal of Physical Therapy Science published the results of a case study on May 1, 2023, documenting chiropractic care causing the correction of a neck curvature in a patient. Loss or reversal of neck curvature has been linked to many health issues.
