Every year there are 10 million new cases of ear infections. In fact nearly 50% of children will have at least one middle ear infection before they reach their first birthday, and 60% of them will have had at least one ear infection by age 3. Studies also show that the earlier a child begins having ear infections, the more likely they are to have multiple ear infections.
There are many reasons ear infections occur. Allergies, infection, and pacifier use are but a few. But perhaps the most common culprit is birth trauma which affects the nerves from the neck to the ears. When these nerves are damage and moved out of alignment, a child is more at risk for ear infections. However, by visiting a pediatric chiropractor those nerves in the neck and skull can be re-aligned and ear infections are decreased, and in many cases eliminated.
When was the last time you set out to accomplish a goal? Did you achieve it? Children have goals. They may be no more serious than being a circus clown, or they may aspire to be a doctor. But no matter what their dreams, each one has the potential to achieve them. It will take hard work and determination, but the skill is there–they just have to be encouraged.
Many people think that a visit to the chiropractor is only for adults. After all, why would a child need to be adjusted? However, studies have found that children who have regular chiropractic visits are happier and healthier.
