Ear Infections And Chiropractic Care

Ear Infections And Chiropractic Care

Ear infections and chiropractic care, were do the possibilities end when it comes to chiropractic care?  Well, before we answer this question let’s talk about our title of ear infections and chiropractic care.  The most common form of ear infections that our children undergo are middle ear infections.  This occurs when fluid builds up in the ear due to the draining system not properly flushing fluid out of the ear.  The eustachian tube is the component of the ear that allows for proper amounts of pressure to be equalized as well as draining the ear to maintain its function.  Ear infections in children are becoming more and more chronic and are not diminishing.  Often used to treat these infections are the use of antibiotics, when in fact over 75% of ear infections are viral in nature.  Use antibiotics to treat something that is viral?  No wonder these ear infections are reoccurring; when you over prescribe antibiotics it drastically depresses the child’s overall immune system thus leading to another ear infection.  By masking the ear infection with antibiotics your child is never really healing and overcoming what brought the ear infection on.  As this model continues, the immune system is still compromised which could lead to swollen lymph nodes over time leading to some other problems.  Another model is to put tubes in your child’s ear, yet another device that is masking the true problem.

Ear infections and chiropractic care are related due to the presence of what regulates and controls the ear and eustachian tube: Nerves.  Chiropractic care focuses specifically and solely on the nerve system.  The nerve system is the master controller which regulates and controls all functions within the human body.  Ear infections and chiropractic care focus on the nerves that are causing the problem.  A subluxation within the nerve system creates a central nerve system dysfunction within the body, so your body in turn produces signs and symptoms.  A subluxation is what chiropractors check your nerve system for and adjust if necessary.  An ear infection is a sign and symptom that something is not working correctly.  Specifically speaking the vagus nerve in the body controls two of the four muscles directly associated with the eustachian tube.  If a subluxation is present in the body and is diminishing the communication of the vagus nerve a possible sign and symptom for your child is an ear infection.  Address the cause by addressing the nerve system.  Ear infections and chiropractic care have been proven to be effective in restoring optimal function to your child.  Chiropractic care is drug and surgery free, sounds like a win!

The Immune System Vs The Flu

The Immune System Vs The Flu

That time of the year is already upon us as we get ready for the upcoming holidays.  When we get to challenge our immune system and see how our body handles the constant bombardment of The Flu!  Remember the flu is not an actual season, it can happen or occur at any time of the year (for the sake of this blog we will keep it intact that it’s an actual season).  The immune system regulates and controls a vast array of organs, tissues, glands, and cells to make up what we know as the immune system.  We often overlook the immune system and only recognize its inabilities when we become sick.  The immune system is constantly running, thriving, and upgrading every single day.  Your body is constantly exposed to new pathogens (invaders to the body) and it’s the immune systems responsibility on how you perceive and interpret this data.  When The Flu strikes your body, you begin to have signs and symptoms.

Signs and symptoms that your immune system is compromised from the flu are far from in between.  You could feel sluggish, run down, develop a cough, sneezing, fever, chest congestion, diarrhea, etc.  The flu is not just one symptom that your body shows, but rather a bunch of signs and symptoms put together.  When your immune system is compromised and you develop a sign and symptom your body should fight and defend itself for 1-2 days and then restore normal function.  You should not be sick for weeks at a time or longer than 3 days, if this is the case then your body is taking a little longer than expected.  Why would that be the case?  Possibly due to a dysfunctional nerve system leading to an unhealthy immune system!  What if you are constantly getting sick over and over again? Again, possibly due to a dysfunctional nerve system leading to an unhealthy immune system!

Subluxations occur within the spine which create a central nerve system DYSFUNCTION.  Subluxations are what chiropractors are trained to find and adjust.  Imagine a subluxation as being a downed power line, it’s a dangerous situation to be in. Power is still being transmitted but is not sending and receiving the proper information.  A subluxation still allows the nerve to send messages, but not too its full potential nor to the right amount.  This in time will lead to a depressed immunity which inhibits your true potential on how you respond to the flu or any pathogen for that matter.  Your nerve system regulates and controls all other systems within the body.  The immune system is not overlooked, if at the first sign of the flu you jump to use medication you are losing the fight.  By just masking signs and symptoms with medication you never realize the potential that your immune system can have.  Proper health begins with a healthy functioning nerve system.  Get your nerves checked to allow you to fight the healthy battle.

Autism Help Through Chiropractic

Autism Help Through Chiropractic

Parents that are going through the development of a child should have the opportunity to enjoy every moment.  Children that are diagnosed with autism should have the same opportunities that every other family experiences.  First, recognize that autism is a very self-limiting name, and for that fact is just a name that often can be over-used and improperly thrown around.  We call that name calling.  Verbal communication, behavioral patterns, and social interaction are some of the most common patterns that are exhibited with autism.  First and foremost, autism is a neurological problem.  “Something” has to be affecting the child’s behavior and development as they continue to grow.  Some of the most common cases that we see in the office are: mother had a prior drug related problem during pregnancy, difficult or traumatic birth, and adverse reaction to vaccinations.  Keep in mind that every case is different, these are just a sample of the most common occurrences that we notice in their histories.  All of these issues create a neurological compromise on the child’s developing nerve system.

Autism help through chiropractic?  What does that even mean?  Chiropractic is a science strictly based with the nerve system, in essence chiropractors are nerve system specialists.  Chiropractors are trained to access the nerve system for proper function by finding and adjusting specific vertebral subluxations.  A vertebral subluxation occurs within the spinal column causing the entire nerve system to become compromised.  This subluxation creates dysfunction within the ENTIRE body by limiting the body’s true potential.  Think of a subluxation as a downed power-line.  There is still power/energy being transmitted but it is not sending and receiving the proper communication as if it was properly connected.  Imagine not being able to interpret incoming data from your external environment or process thought patterns.  By accessing your child’s nerve system with chiropractic, you can give them the best option of recovering and restoring normal function for that individual.  Autism seems to be a growing trend and parents deserve to have every moment be enjoyable with their child.  Your child deserves to have a nerve system that is functioning at their optimal potential.

Autism and chiropractic have been tested.  The results are in, chiropractic is here to stay and help families enjoy those moments.  Want to read more about autism and chiropractic: Click Me.

Healthy Kids Education

Healthy Kids Education

Healthy kids education?  Healthy kids is what each parent wants and looks to achieve during their lifespan.  When we think of healthy kids our first thought is typically free of disease and symptoms.  Unfortunately, this is not the case for the growing trend in our society.  As a chiropractor I come under the title of doctor, my mentors and schooling taught me that doctor means “teacher”.  It is our responsibility to inform and educate about why you see a chiropractor and the endless health choices that come under specific chiropractic care.  One of the first duties of the physician is to educate the masses not to take medicine – Sir William Osler.  When it comes to health we have been masked to believe that it comes in the form of a lotion, pill or needle.  Our body was not designed to process artificial stimulation on a continual basis, it is not the natural order.  The body was designed to heal on its own accord and it takes time to heal.

To impact our society we need to focus on the kids.  Healthy kids begins with the upbringing, foundation of healthy eating, regular exercise, and positive emotional stimulation.  When it comes to their overall well-being and health related issues, chiropractors are primary health care doctors.  The first physical trauma that we all experience is birth, regardless of how amazing it is, it is still traumatic.  Right then you should be wanting your child checked to make sure that their nerve system is properly functioning.  Nerves and chiropractic, the two words go hand in hand.  Chiropractors are nerve system specialists who remove interference in the body by specifically adjusting subluxations.  A subluxation occurs when stress is placed on a spinal nerve, thus in turn creating dysfunction within the body.

Healthy kids start with a healthy functioning nerve system.  All processes that begin with signs and symptoms have an origin, a malfunctioning nerve system.  Think of some common childhood health problems: ear infections, colic, constipation, colds, etc.  If the immune system is compromised then the nerve system controlling this has to be compromised to an extent.  So, what do we do if our kids have signs and symptoms?  Get their nerve system checked!  Want to boost their immune system the natural way?  Want to help strengthen their immunity and potentially reduce the incidence of general illness?  No drugs required!  Regular chiropractic adjustments to ensure their optimal potential leads to healthy kids!
