Anyone who has ever suffered from an ear infection can attest to this disease’s power to cause pain and suffering. Ear infections can afflict people of all ages, but they’re especially prevalent in children. If you’re looking for all-natural techniques for helping your little one (or yourself) enjoy optimal recovery from an acute ear infection, you might be surprised to learn that corrective chiropractic care has a supportive role to play — and we’re happy to provide that care here at Synergy Oviedo Chiropractic in Oviedo FL.
How Our Ear Infection Care Plan Works
1. Feel & Move Better
Once you start Chiropractic care, you begin a journey to stabilize your problems, stop the damage, and start the healing. Another great side effect of the initial intensive care is that you begin to feel better, sleep better, and move better.
2. Fix Your Problem
The second stage is the Corrective Phase, where we fix your problem by re-training your spine and body to get you healthier and stronger so that you can enjoy doing the things you want to and have to without experiencing a relapse every time you try to use your body.
3. Get Your Mojo Back
The third stage is the Protective Stage, also known as wellness or maintenance care. This stage helps you protect and maintain your new levels of strength, health, and function, preventing you from slipping backward as you enjoy, engage in your best life, and get your mojo back!
Understanding Ear Infections
Ear infections, or otitis media, can cause serious pain and other problems. The area just behind the eardrum, where the bones of the middle ear reside, is supposed to be kept clean and dry by ventilation from a passage called the Eustachian tube (which connects to the nose and throat). When blockage from a cold or allergy reduces this ventilation, germs can multiply and produce an infection. Such blockages occur more frequently in children than in adults, probably because the Eustachian tube is smaller and less resilient. Blocked, swollen lymph glands can also close off the Eustachian tube.
The most notorious symptoms of an ear infection is an intense earache, which may be a constant source of pain or produce recurring bouts of sharp pain with drainage. Hearing loss, nausea, and a stuffed-up feeling in the ear may also be present.
How Our Oviedo Chiropractor Can Help
Why would corrective chiropractic treatment help an earache heal? Keep in mind that chiropractic adjustments aim to improve nerve function by removing impingement from misaligned spinal structures. When nerves aren’t functioning at their best, your brain has trouble telling your body what to do. This includes the instructions that normally govern lymph gland function and other immune system functions. By correcting a misalignment in the cervical spine, our Oviedo chiropractor can help the body behave more normally and mobilize its healing powers more efficiently. The Eustachian tube can then drain as it should, relieving pressure and pain while providing the right environment for germs to be killed off.
Chiropractic adjustments for ear infections are equally safe for both children and adults. The only difference is that we use less force in correcting the cervical vertebrae in our pediatric patients; the adjustment itself is the same.
