Ear Infections

Interestingly enough, five out of six children will experience an ear infection by the time they reach three years old, notes John Hopkins Medicine. This isn’t considering the number of recurring infections, either. Fortunately, this common problem is rarely serious for your little one and will even subside on its own in most cases.

However, you don’t want to see your child repeatedly suffer from pain and sleepless nights, and neither does our staff at Awaken Health Chiropractic. Nor do any of us want to see your little one being one of the few who develop complications. That’s why we take a unique, natural approach to helping and preventing this common infection.

General Information

Ear infections stem from either a bacteria or virus invading the middle ear, usually because of allergies or a flu or cold. Then, swelling and congestion arise in the throat, nose, and eustachian tubes. When the fluid can’t drain as it should through the tubes, the drainage may build up in your child’s middle ear, leading to trouble hearing, pain, and other symptoms. Though adults can get ear infections, they’re more common in kids because of the size and position of children’s eustachian tubes hindering the flow of fluid. It doesn’t help that a child’s immune system is underdeveloped and can’t ward off the germs that cause ear infections as well as an adult’s.

Chiropractic Care for Ear Infection Correction, Relief, and Prevention

Ultimately, our chiropractor can improve drainage from your child’s ears to alleviate symptoms of a current infection, reducing your kid’s reliance on antibiotics. This is especially vital since so many bacteria are becoming resistant to them, leading to much worse, less treatable infections. It can also prevent these infections in the future.

Chiropractic care is known to boost the immune system as well since this system is connected to the nervous system. As a result, your kid will then be able to better fight off the infections commonly responsible for ear infections.

The staff at Awaken Health have the knowledge and skill to help kids prevent ear infections in the future and ease existing pain and discomfort. All treatments are natural and are ones bacteria can’t evade!

Don’t let your kid suffer through another ear infection without seeing what chiropractic care can do first! Contact us for an appointment by calling 801-505-9052.
