Ear Infections

 Ear infections are commonly diagnosed in young children. Although medical studies show that most ear infections are caused by a virus, many doctors continue to prescribe antibiotics. Antibiotics kill bacteria NOT viruses. Therefore in most cases an antibiotic was unnecessary. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, it is NOT recommended to put the child on antibiotics right away.

Our approach to ear infections is very simple...CORRECT the stuctural  problem and the ear infections will clear up on their own in most cases. The upper spine and jaw can and do become slighlty misaligned because of stress and mild traumas, such as a fall off a bike. This misalignment causes the ear to trap fluid and germs leading to an ear infection.

When we correct the structual problem, the ear can drain properly...thereby keeping it healthy!

We have a very high success rate in helping children recover from an ear infection, and more importantly,  preventing them in the future!
