Ear Infection
An ear ache can result when the eustachian tube, which connects the middle ear with the throat, enlarges and becomes inflamed. This prevents proper drainage. Fluids can become trapped behind the eardrum, often putting painful pressure on delicate tissues. A common treatment is the use of oral antibiotics. But, recent medical research tells us that this is an inappropriate treatment and virtually ineffective. In fact, the use of antibiotics can actually prolong the problem and increase its reoccurrence!
Instead, more and more parents are seeking chiropractic checkups for their children. A Doctor of Chiropractic with training in Pediatrics can evaluate a child for spinal problems that could be affecting nerve supply to the ears. Chiropractic adjustments can help restore the integrity of the nervous system damaged by the birth process, learning to walk, or other spinal stresses.
So while chiropractic care doesn’t treat earaches, it often revives the body’s own inborn healing ability naturally—without dangerous drugs or surgery.
Children like the alternative approaches of Dr. John And Daryl Weisberg because they sense a healing and nurturing atmosphere and they have an innate sensing of what is right and appropriate. “We have an office full of happy healing children. They love the careful healing touch of chiropractic and reflexology and the parents are at ease too, which makes the experience even more nurturing,” says Dr. Weisberg.
