Pediatric Ear Infections

The American Association of Family Physicians states that about 80% of children will experience at least one episode of acute otitis media (ear infection)(1). According to the National Institute on Deafness and other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) five out of every six children will experience middle ear infection by age three (2), and while this is an alarmingly common problem, it is certainly not normal. A child's developing immune system relies on their nerve system functioning properly, and suffering from ear infections is a sign that something is not working correctly. These secondary signs can compromise their health, happiness and become a recurring issue if the underlying cause is not addressed. Our West Hartford Chiropractors focus on correcting the structure of the spine to facilitate optimal function of both the nerve system it protects/supports and the joints that keep it moving.

Chiropractic Care for Children

Children benefit from chiropractic care in many ways. Some parents seek chiropractic care for their children to help with allergic responses, spinal issues, or injuries from the birth process. Many also look to chiropractic when their child suffers chronic ear infections that can cause pain, discomfort, worry, lost sleep and reduced ability to function for the kids and parents. Over time, chronic ear infections can cause lasting problems such as injury to the eardrum, even partial or total deafness. This is one of many reasons why it is so important to get proper chiropractic care for your children, especially if they routinely complain of ear trouble. This may be a sign that your child is not adapting well.

Chiropractic Services for Kids Ear Infections

Many parents want to avoid the unnecessary use of antibiotics to treat kids' ear infections, a desire we support. It is important to understand that chiropractic is not a “cure” to the current ear infection, but a series of specific structural corrections aimed at optimizing function so the body is able to fight the existing infection and resist those that might occur later.

Using a variety of chiropractic services, we can help reduce stress on the child’s nerve system and improve the function of many other systems, including the muscular, respiratory, circulatory, digestive, eliminatory, hormonal, immunological and glandular. In bringing these systems into alignment, we enable the child’s immune system to operate effectively and minimize or eliminate their exposure to kid’s ear infections.
