Ear Infections

Ear infections are one of the biggest reasons kids under three go to the pediatrician.

Usually, when your child has an infection, we run to the medicine cabinet, even though those might have negative side effects.

So what is an ear infection?

It is a bacterial or viral infection inside the middle ear, and that's deeper than the eardrum.

And most kids have at least one ear infection before their third birthday.

And when this happens, the tubes in the ear become blocked, inflamed, and extremely painful.

And even though ear infections are common, it doesn't mean it's normal to get these, even semi-regularly.

Chiropractors help improve the drainage of the ears, which is why doctors refer so many children to us.

One study found that 93% of cases saw improved symptoms with chiropractic adjustments.

The adjustments relieve pain without prescription, relieve pressure so that the nervous system can fight the infection, and help our kids live happier and healthier life.
