In Kansas, Minnesota and Nebraska, as in every state, a chiropractic license covers the spine, joints and muscles, not ear infections. 4 practitioners we analyzed advertise it anyway. Otitis media is an infection diagnosed and treated by pediatricians and family physicians. Diagnosing or treating an infection sits outside a chiropractic license. Classifications reflect our review, not an adjudicated finding.
