Children, Ear Infections, and Antibiotics

After enrolling my beautiful daughter in daycare, she often got the sniffles. I would take her to her pediatrician (more due to family members nagging me) and he would say she had an ear infection and prescribe her antibiotics. Being a chiropractor, that is almost a deadly sin, however everything thing has its place, even medications. Even though, most of the time I did not give her the antibiotics, many parents are not as aware that most times, the sniffles and infections are not caused due to the lack of antibiotics in their child's bodies but are caused due to the inability for the middle ear to drain into the throat.

Chiropractors remove nervous interference from the body by realigning the spine and removing pressure from the nerves. In children, misalignment of the vertebrae are common due to birthing process and the yanking of their little necks by obstetricians (watch a birthing video, you'll be shocked!). In the upper neck are the nerves that control the ear and allow it to properly drain fluids from it. By a simple adjustment, your child can enjoy a better time dealing with ear infections or preventing them in this case. One of the most respected pediatricians in the US, Dr. Sears (askDrSears.com) recommends chiropractic care for both treatment and prevention of ear infections. 

My personal experience with my daughter and chiropractic has been fabulous! She does not get sick anymore and is living a medication free lifestyle. Drugs inhibit the nervous system, the system that controls all bodily functions, including the function of the body being able to heal itself. 

Many parents entrust their little angels to my hands. That is a great feeling! We've had success with numerous conditions in our office. Asthma, ear infections, torticollis, knee and hip pains. Don't poison your child, with medications, please for their sake, give chiropractic care a try!
