A Safe, Noninvasive Solution CHRONIC EAR INFECTIONS?
Try Chiropractic
Ear infections can be excruciating. Any parent whose child has suffered from the nasty ailment has known the hours of screeching, crying pain it can bring. And, unfortunately, it’s one of the most common childhood illnesses in the world. Most of the time, ear infections show up briefly and go away without issue. But in more serious cases, if left untreated, they can become lasting issues that do a lot of damage to the ear over time. If your child is suffering from frequent ear infections, something may be wrong, warranting a visit to a trusted medical provider. Most traditional doctors will prescribe your child antibiotics to treat an ear infection, but this may only provide temporary relief until the next infection affects your child’s ear. What’s more, antibiotics will kill the good bacteria in your child’s body as well, predisposing them to further infection and illness. In more serious
cases, doctors may even suggest invasive surgery to fix the issue. Instead, consider going to the chiropractor, who is equipped with all kinds of tools to eliminate your child’s persistent ear discomfort in a natural, noninvasive way. By adjusting your child’s spine and removing any subluxations, we can boost the immune system and keep the body’s natural pathways flowing smoothly, allowing your child’s body to heal itself over time. While chiropractic isn’t a miracle cure for ear infections, it’s a powerful tool for fostering healing mechanisms with the body, thus eliminating infection and preventing it from returning again. Don’t let your child suffer with chronic ear infections. Call Dr. Chris Colby at 860.644.2437 today and activate your child’s body’s healing potential!
