Ear Infections

If you are a parent, chances are that your child has been diagnosed with an ear infection at point in their life.  This common infection is responsible for 35% of all pediatrician visits in the United States.  While many treat ear infections with rounds of antibiotics, eardrops, and tubes, I have found that chiropractic care is not only successful but a great deal less invasive.  My experience has shown me that there is a direct relationship between the spine, nerves and lymphatic systems.  When children are suffering from ear infections, there tends to be a problem in the upper neck or cervical spine.

Ear infections occur when the lymphatic system is unable to drain the fluids in the middle ear.  Through lymphatic massages and gentle spinal adjustments, balance is returned to the child’s system and the inner ear is healed.  Chiropractic care is also great for preventing ear infections before they occur, keeping children healthier and more attentive than they would be otherwise.  If your child regularly suffers from ear infections, chiropractic care could help treat and prevent reoccurring infections.
