Ear infections are affecting children in epidemic numbers. Statistics show that by the age of three, over two-thirds of all children have had one or more episodes of otitis media or middle ear infection. Chiropractic offers a drug-free, less invasive approach to ear infections than the traditional treatment of antibiotics and tubes.

Antibiotics, decongestants and tubes in the ears are the most common treatments prescribed for children with ear infections. However, the value of each of these treatments is controversial. Studies performed with each of these treatments shows that recovery time from ear infection utilizing each of these treatments was the same as those children who had no treatment at all. Another study showed that 88% of children with ear infections never need antibiotics. In fact, in those treated with antibiotics, recurrence of infection is high. In addition, there are many possible problems associated with antibiotic usage including allergic reaction, intestinal problems and antibiotic resistance. Tubes in the ears have a high rate of recurrence as well and studies show that hearing loss years later may be a risk of tubes.

Ear infections are one of the most common reasons kids see chiropractors. Every child is born with an inner wisdom that always knows what is needed to be in perfect health. Spinal misalignments (also called subluxations) can occur during childbirth, irritate nerves and eventually disrupt the body’s ability to function properly, causing many childhood illnesses, including ear infections. For 109 years, chiropractors have been educating parents to the awareness that by removing interference in a child’s nerve system, their inner wisdom can express itself and heal their bodies from the inside out. "Better health through better chemistry has failed. Drugs and surgery are not the answer to health and wellness, because health comes from within." Researchers have finally proven this and are recommending a restraint in the prescription of harmful drugs.

A 6-year-old boy entered my office with chronic ear infections. He also suffered from occasional tonsillitis. Three years prior, tubes were placed in his ears. The child was scheduled for another ear surgery and to have his swollen tonsils removed. He had been on nine courses of antibiotics over the past three years. His symptoms would resolve and then return within one month. After his first chiropractic adjustment, he stopped complaining of ear pain. At a six-week evaluation, there was no ear effusion in either ear. His tonsils were normal size. The ENT doctor canceled surgery. Six months later, this child is free from ear infections and antibiotics. More and more parents are discovering regular chiropractic care for their children, often after first exploring medical care.

One of the most common questions people ask me is "What is the best mattress for my back?"

Most people are sleeping on old mattresses or they bought new ones that they thought would be really great only to be disappointed that they are waking up with the same stiffness in their backs as before.

-You wake up every morning with pain and stiffness in your back.

-You toss and turn throughout the night trying to get comfortable.

-You wake up tired and sore.

-There are indentations in your mattress or it is lumpy.

-You feel the pressure of the springs pushing against your body.

I finally have found a mattress that I can highly recommend. Actually Chiropractors and M.D.’s agree that Supple-Pedic is Best! I am so excited about it that I ordered one for the office so now you can come over and try it out for yourself. Just a little warning…You may never want to leave!

-The "Lever Support System", is a technological breakthrough unmatched in the mattress industry. The Lever-Springs work like a teeter-totter, when larger parts of your body depress one end of the Levers, the other end actually pushes up, to support the recessed areas such as the small of the back. Combine the levers with our Polyfilax Elastic Polymer surface and you have the most perfect bed invented to date.

-Proven Best Back Support of any mattress due to the Lever Support System, Back Pain Relief, and Prevention.

-90% Less Tossing and Turning. Lowest Pressure Points of any mattress-greatest comfort, Clinically proven to reduce tossing and turning by 90%.

-Clinically Proven Better Sleep. Independent University Research proves 9 out of 10 people sleep much better on the Supple-Pedic mattress.

What I love about this mattress is that they are so certain that this is the perfect mattress that you can try it for 30 days and if you don’t like it you get your money back. That’s simple enough because there are no risks, only an opportunity to improve your sleep. In addition you also receive a 30 year warranty on the mattress! Since you spend one-third of your life sleeping, the support this system provides is critical to better health. I am such a believer that I have become a distributor so that I can make it easy for you. When you order the mattress will be shipped directly to your home…it’s as simple as that!
