Help for Ear Infections
Ear infections are among the most common childhood conditions little ones deal with. Not only can they be painful, but they often lead to sleepless nights, irritability, and multiple rounds of antibiotics. While ear infections are frequently treated with medication, many parents are seeking a more natural approach that addresses the root cause rather than just masking symptoms.
Understanding Ear Infections
When fluid builds up in the middle ear, it creates the perfect environment for bacteria to thrive. Kids may experience ear pain, trouble sleeping, tugging at their ears, fever, and difficulty hearing. Recurrent ear infections can affect speech development, sleep quality, and overall well-being, leaving parents feeling helpless as they watch their little ones struggle.
The Nervous System Connection
At Clear Chiropractic, we look at ear infections through a neurological lens. The nervous system controls everything in the body, including the drainage and function of the Eustachian tubes. When there’s stress or misalignment in the upper neck, it can interfere with proper drainage, making children more susceptible to fluid buildup and infection.
Using INSiGHT™ Scans, we assess your child’s nervous system to identify areas of stress that may be contributing to recurrent ear infections. Our always gentle, precise adjustments help restore proper nervous system function, supporting the body’s natural ability to drain fluid and fight infection.
“We’ve seen so many kids finally break free from the cycle of recurring ear infections once we address the underlying nervous system stress,” shares Chula Vista chiropractor Dr. Joe Zingone. “When the body can function the way it’s designed to, healing happens naturally.”
PATIENT SUCCESS STORY
Meet Payton
Peyton was caught in a never-ending cycle of ear infections. Prior to starting care, Peyton had been sick from September all the way to Christmas. She had double ear infections twice. She would get snotty with all the weather changes.
They tried conventional medicine, and nothing worked. They were working with a naturopath on her gut health. Nothing seemed to move the needle.
Then they came into the office and finally saw Peyton’s neurological scans.
Mom said “chiropractic care really works!”
Peyton has not had a single ear infection since starting care. And she’s been able to remain healthy even though there’s been all kinds of sickness going around her school (hand, foot, mouth, etc.)
She’s kicking the sick! Way to go Peyton!
