The ear infection solution
|
There is nothing worse than to see your child tugging at their ears with tears in their face because of the severe pain of an ear infection.
Sleepless nights and endless doctors visits are a regular occurrence for many parents who are dealing with a child with ear infections.
We have been very successful in helping children with ear infection with specific, gentle chiropractic adjustments.
How does this work?
Let me explain.The tube that runs from
the back of the throat to the back of the ear (the Eustachian tube) is a tube of smooth muscle that, when contracting properly, moves fluid back and forth.Imagine the way a snake swallows it’s meals. Often, however, due to the trauma of birth or spills or fallsthe top bone of the spine (C1) can become slightly misalignedand put pressure of the nerves that control this tube of muscle.This essentially turns the muscles off and fluid quickly begins to collect.
Imagine a pool in the Texas heat when the motor gets turned off. If the water sits still for very long it begins to turn green and pretty sure you have a swamp for a pool. This is similar to what happens to the fluid in the ear.
Most people quickly turn to the pediatrician for help which often results in a round of antibiotics. This is much like throwing a big bucket of shock (chlorine) into the pool. It will turn the pool blue temporarily but if the motor is left off it won’t be long before it’s “infected” AGAIN! And AGAIN!
Our goal is to gently take the pressure off the nerves allowing the tube to efficiently move the fluid again and clear the infection for good!

Check out Bella’s story…..
My name is Brandy Smith and I brought my 3 year old daughter,
Bella, to Dr. B with a severe ear infection. It was her 3rd ear infection in less than 2 months and I was just not happy with the results of antibiotics. I brought Bella to Dr. B on a Friday with high fever and severe pain in her left ear. I am not sure of all the correct terminology but he took a tool of his and did his magic. He pulled on her ear to help get the fluid to drain.
He told us to come back in on Monday and he would do it again.
By Friday night Bella’s ear was already draining and I could see the pain just disappear. She finally felt relief. I am a mother of 3 and to see my children in pain is by far the worst feeling. We went back to Dr. B and he adjusted Bella again and by the middle of the week Bella was back to her cheerful self.
Bella has not had an ear infection since March 2013. If you could look at Bella’s medical history that is a miracle. Bella had to have her first set of tubes put in when she was only 6 months old. We have been battling ear infections pretty much her whole life. So for her to go this long without an ear infection is miraculous.
I have two other children, 6 year old and at the time we started a 3 month old. I decided to go ahead and start my whole family in getting weekly adjustments. My 3 month who is now almost a year old has never had an ear infection. I believe it is the adjustments that help to keep him healthy. My 6 year old who also has suffered from ear infections has been healthier than ever.
All of my children are sleeping better and when they do catch a cold or an illness they are quick to bounce back.
At the time when I brought Bella in to see Dr. B I was out of options. I did not know what else to do for my little girl. I only wish I would have brought her in sooner.
Thank you Dr. B! You have helped my family
