Ear Infections In Babies The Natural Way

Ear Infections In Babies The Natural Way

Ear infections in babies can be and is a very challenging time in parenthood.  Determining the right avenue to help your child and allow them to overcome the ear infection is our top priority.  Ear infections in babies are commonly met with antibiotics or surgical intervention.  While these methods might have a time and place for some, they should not be the first line of defense.  Ear infections in babies is often a symptom of an immune system out of balance.  The immune system can be challenged by environmental factors, diet, and most important, if it does not have a clear functioning nerve system.  If our child’s immune system is compromised then increased mucous production and inflammation begins thus resulting in infection.  

So, let’s go through the “norear infections in babiesmal medical” cycle of what happens with ear infections in babies.  An ear infection occurs so we think the “cure” is to use antibiotics when actually 70% of all ear infections are caused by viruses.  Administer improper antibiotics which predispose our child to repeat infections and illness by destroying the good bacteria in the body.  Ear infection occurs again so we repeat the process, eventually until the parents have had enough and they put tubes in the ear to drain the fluid.  A weakened immune system occurs due to improper administration of antibiotics, this makes our children more susceptible to having another infection.  If we just stop there we might be okay, but then this continues to our child’s tonsils and we think they have to be removed. (Chronic and repetitive illness will cause them to be irritated)

Ear infections in babies the natural way can and should be dealt with by means of chiropractic.  Chiropractic adjustments restore proper connection to your nerve system which regulates and controls your immune system.  The nerves regulate and control everything that you do!  Proper nerve function allows normal motion of the eustachian tubes and proper ear drainage.  Having a properly functioning nerve system is KEY to preventing reoccurring ear infections in babies by allowing the body to function the way it is intended…naturally.  Regular spinal adjustment ensure ear infections in babies resolve naturally and allow your child to be healthy.

Healthy Spine Care

Healthy Spine Care

Spine care is usually a topic that appears for individuals only when they begin to suffer from some sort of neck or lower back pain.  Ultimately, we need to realize that taking care of our body begins with a healthy spine.  Your spine is the structure that supports and protects your central nerve system.  Everything you do in life is directly correlated with how your nerve system functions.  For instance, as we continue to grow older you will notice some of the elderly population with rounded backs, walking around looking at the ground.  How did this posture distortion start?  This process is due to improper spine care.  The brain sends its messages to all parts of the body through the spine.  The spine needs to be free and clear of obstacles in it’s way to ensure you are functioning at your optimal potential.  When a nerve becomes irritated, due to improper posture of your spine, your body begins to fight.  Improper muscle tension will develop, dysfunction to your vital organs, cells, tissues, and glands will begin.  This is the first stage and when you should recognize that something is wrong.  Your body will give you the signs and symptoms to notice dysfunction, it is your responsibility to act!

Spine care is essential to maintain a healthy functioning body.  A subluxation is what chiropractors find and adjust if necessary.  A subluxation is when a spinal bone moves out of alignment and wreaks havoc on your nerve system.  The reason being is that your spine is the information highway from your body to your brain and visa versa.  Proper spine care is making sure your spine is clear and free of subluxations, which in turn ensures keeping the communication open.

Measuring ones health can be categorized into posture.  It’s the ripple effect, improper posture leads to dysfunction in the nerve system; and the nerve system regulates and controls ALL!  Proper spine care is not a fad or a trend nor is your health.  Get checked for possible subluxations that are affecting your health.

More Than Just Back And Neck Pain

By | ADHD, Benefits of Chiropractic

More Than Just Back And Neck Pain

Back and neck pain are typically synonymous with anything chiropractic.  This thought process is very self-limiting and restricts why individuals actually come to the chiropractor.  Back and neck pain are issues to be concerned about, it is the underlying issue that needs to be focused on.  Your nerve system is your master controller of your entire body, when you have a bad experience in life such as back and neck pain you have to “blame” your nerves.  Superficially along your muscles you will feel tension, fatigue, and often knots in your muscles.  This is not normal to feel this way for extended periods of time!  This chronic fatigue and tension that you “feel” in your muscles has to start from somewhere, and more importantly has to have a reason.  If the tension and fatigue goes on for a prolonged period of time you will eventually develop back and neck pain.

All of this discomfort is produced from your nerve system.  Let’s use a common example such as sitting down and on the computer for extended periods of the day.  Sitting down and compromising “normal” curvatures of the spine by forward head position adds up over time.  Having an improper posture for extended periods of the day creates misalignment in the spine.  Misalignment creates nerve dysfunction.  Nerve dysfunction is called a subluxation, which results in improper communication between your brain and the rest of your body.  Surrounding muscles can become tight, sensitive, tense, or may even spasm.  Soft tissue will tend to swell resulting in inflammation which causes damage to your body.  Then, just then after this goes on for some time you finally have back and neck pain.  Subluxation’s are silent in nature and go on for years just like cavities in your teeth!  That is why regular chiropractic check-ups are essential for your overall health!

Health is simple, you need to listen to your body and do what it tells you!  Do not let pain be a determining factor if you are healthy or not!  Have your nerve checked before the back and neck pain set in!

Chiropractic And Allergies

Chiropractic And Allergies

Hereditary, pollen, food, itching, swelling, histamines, just a couple of words that people associate allergies with.  How about associating allergies with immune system function and response?  More importantly the role between chiropractic and allergies.  Why do some people respond differently to some things than others do? Let’s begin our crash course in the body.  Your central nerve system controls and processes all incoming and outgoing information (so, everything that you do, think, or want to do) and yes, it controls and regulates the immune system.  Basically, your central nerve system is like the control tower at the airport, if there is a bad experience with allergies and your body, blame the control tower not the planes.

Now, your control tower is very smart and intelligent and tells your immune system to release histamines when something attacks your body.  This is what your body is supposed to do, naturally!  If something such as a subluxation (vertebrae causing dysfunction in the nerve system) causes dysfunction in the control tower, then proper messages to and from that immune system are not going to be connected properly.  What can be a consequence?  Improper releasing of histamines in your body!  So, the solution that we hopefully ponder is to take anti-histamines and suppress our immune system?  Taking something externally to “fix” something internally just does not sound right, it’s just a patch-job (if that, sounds more like insanity).  Recognize, that a subluxation is a deep and nasty thing that goes on for a prolonged period of time and basically just festers in your body causing all sorts of dysfunction.  Understand dysfunction reveals itself initially by signs and symptoms and we begin to live with them and think it is normal for us.  What does chiropractic and allergies have in common?  In chiropractic we seek to find the cause of the dysfunction.   Chiropractic and allergies you need to realize is not a cure, it’s healing, and in healing your body overall becomes stronger.  Have your nerves checked for possible subluxations causing dysfunction within your body.

The Perky Chronic Fatigue and A Reason Why

By | Benefits of Chiropractic, Ear Infections

The Perky Chronic Fatigue and A Reason Why

Chronic fatigue likes to wreak havoc on our society.  Chronic fatigue is something that tends to just creep up on some, while others will get hit by it right away.  If your body is overworking and firing on all cylinders for a prolonged period of time, eventually your going to need a rest.  Enter your adrenal glands!  Imagine if you hit your “funny bone.”  You will immediately have a weird sensation and might put pressure on your “funny bone” or start to move it back and forth real quick.  What you are doing is suppressing the response by putting movement in the area (proprioception) and masking what you did.  Your adrenal glands have enough time to release some hormones to further suppress the inflammation.  Now, just imagine if your continually hitting your “funny bone” over and over again.  Those adrenal glands are going to be doing some heavy work.  If your body is like that “funny bone” being continually struck over and over again, your body cannot heal / adapt from the stress placed on it.  Talk about chronic fatigue, jeez la weezy.

When your nerve system has stress placed on it: such as chemical stress (medication), physical stress (big brothers), and emotional stress (public speaking), these will place a toll on you body.  So, in order to combat chronic fatigue, just avoid wrestling with your bigger brother, public speaking, and taking medication.  OK, it is not that simple.  When your master control system recognizes that stress is placed on it, those adrenal glands are going to be activated to release hormones.  Any types of stress on your body for a prolonged period of time = over stimulation of adrenal glands.  Over stimulation of adrenals for a period of time would definitely caused chronic fatigue.  As a chiropractor, we check your nerve system for dysfunction (stress) and adjust if necessary.  Have your nerves checked for dysfunction.  Overcome chronic fatigue with a healthy functioning nerve system!

Ear Infections And Chiropractic Care

Ear Infections And Chiropractic Care

Ear infections and chiropractic care go together like peanut butter and jelly.  We are trying to be as simple and to the point as we can possibly be here.  Ear infections begin by disturbances in your E-tubes (Eustachian tubes) not properly working.  Then, as a consequence, fluid will begin to build up in the tubes, which then results in pain and discomfort.  If something is not working correctly in the body, who do you blame first?  The nerve system!  Ear infections and chiropractic care are well versed due to the dysfunction that the E-tube plays.  Specific chiropractic adjustments restore proper function to the E-tube, thus allowing the tubes to work correctly.  Ear infections and chiropractic care will allow your child to heal and overcome by restoring proper function.  This, in turn, will limit the duration of the “infection,” and decrease the susceptibility of them occurring in the future.

Chronic and re-occurring ear infections are not NORMAL!  Your child’s body is not healing and overcoming if ear infections keep occurring.  Ear infections and chiropractic care allow continual proper functionality for the long-run.  When your child’s E-tube is not draining correctly, there will be a buildup of fluid that can be virus related.  So, if the fluid is virus related, antibiotics are going to do what?  Well, there are adverse reactions from antibiotics as well.  Sometimes ear infections are not even infections!  What about tubes in the ears?  Tubes in the ears are not allowing your child to heal and overcome.  Just simply give your child a chance to adapt and overcome with chiropractic adjustments.  Ear infections paired with chiropractic care involves no such surgery, cutting, or medication.  Specific adjustments allow your child to function at optimal potential.

Ear Infections And Chiropractic

When our little ones are suffering from an ear infection we basically are suffering as well.  Ear infections are very painful and can be very traumatic for our young ones.  Chiropractic care can assist your children in overcoming an ear infection and establishing the ability to fend from other possible ear infections.  Most likely when our young ones have an ear infection it is a viral infection.  So, some people will see their medical doctor and then be allowed to used antibiotics!  Why, would you use an antibiotic for a viral infection?  Merely based on the principal that the antibiotic is an anti-inflammatory and will help the swelling aspect?

Chiropractic allows normal function of the ear and allows the fluid to drain by performing specific chiropractic adjustments to the upper cervical area.  Our children’s E-Tubes are still forming and are very susceptible to fluid accumulating in them.  If you go through the gauntlet and another round of antibiotics and say  “maybe-they’ll-work-and-maybe-they-won’t” or if you think about surgery.  It is time for you to utilize chiropractic care for your children.  Chiropractic will allow your children to heal and overcome their ear infections.  Giving your child another “crutch” such as antibiotics or surgery will just make them more susceptible to relying on a “crutch” again.
