Ear Infections

I had a parent bring in her child for a correction. She suspected he might be getting sick, and she wanted to get him checked. It turns out that he had the beginnings of an ear infection. Chiropractic does not treat ear infections, it removes the subluxation. The subluxation is a word that most people don’t understand. That’s ok, and I am happy to explain it. A subluxation does not allow the body to heal, and function at its optimal potential. I think it helps to understand the subluxation better if I give you a comparison. Let’s say you take your child to the doctor, and he/she has a broken bone. When you get to the doctor they would obviously take x-rays, set the bone if needed, and stabilize the arm with a cast. Chiropractors look at the body to see where subluxations exist. These subluxations are not broken bones, but they are bones that are not aligned correctly. When they are set gently into place, the body can heal itself more efficiently. Chiropractors don’t prescribe medication, because we believe in the bodies ability to heal itself. The mother of the little one that came in could have taken him to a medical doctor, but she did not want him to have antibiotics. She wanted his body to fight the infection, and she trusted in his bodies ability to do that. God made our bodies to heal, and in our office we believe in that healing Power!
