Chiropractic neither adds to nor takes from anything in the body in order to achieve results. By reducing the damaging effects of vertebral subluxation, chiropractic adjustments allow the body to recover, naturally, without the unnecessary side effects.
If conservative medical management and chiropractic adjustments are both found to be equally effective, ask yourself which option causes less detrimental side effects along the way, and choose accordingly.

Why Are Kids Getting So Sick So Early?
All children must undergo two primary insults to their musculoskeletal system very early in life, the first is coming through the birth canal; the second is going from crawling to walking. The pressure placed upon the brain stem in the former and on the rest of the spine in the latter has huge detrimental effects on a neurological level.
The development of early nuerological impairments known as subluxations are placing undue stress and strain on the other systems (such as tympanic, urinary,and respiratory) of the body.
Subluxations And Trauma
The pressure on the nervous system is known as a vertebral subluxation. Vertebral subluxations are the result of nuerological trauma and have negative effects on almost every tissue in the body. They cause an inflammatory response that can interfere with normal physiology, biochemistry, and function of otherwise healthy tissue. The subluxation can be a factor in the development of many common childhood conditions.
Chiropractors have successfully helped children with the following:
- Ear infections
- Respiratory difficulties
- Colic
- Asthma
- Acid reflux
- Allergies
- Torticollis
- Learning disabilities
- Bedwetting
- And many other problems

Treating Kids Ear Infections in Wyoming, MI
Did you know ear infections are the second leading cause of pediatric emergency room visits in the United States?
Did you ever have an ear infection as a child? Most children do, it’s inevitable. Did you also know that common antibiotics do not help most ear infections that ultimately go away on their own? The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends the watch-and-wait approach, because of the evidence that antibiotics are ineffective in treating ear infections.
No parent wants to see their child in pain. With Principled Chiropractic Care there are solutions to pesky ear infections that do not require antibiotics or surgeries and help your little ones quickly!
What Is An Ear Infection?
In its most basic form it is referred to as Otitis Media, which means that there is excess fluid in the middle ear. This fluid can get stuck in the middle ear and block drainage into the eustachian tubes creating an infection. When this happens, tissue in the middle ear becomes inflamed and makes it hard for ears to drain properly. Eustachian tubes are a pair of narrow tubes that run from each middle ear to high in the back of the throat, behind the nasal passages. When the eustachian tubes are blocked drainage cannot occur. In children, the eustachian tubes are narrower and more horizontal, which makes them more difficult to drain and more likely to get clogged.
If you’ve ever had an ear infection you know how painful and uncomfortable they can be.
Chiropractic neither adds to nor takes from anything in the body in order to achieve results. By reducing the damaging effects of vertebral subluxation, chiropractic adjustments allow the body to recover, naturally, without the unnecessary side effects.
If conservative medical management and chiropractic adjustments are both found to be equally effective, ask yourself which option causes less detrimental side effects along the way, and choose accordingly.
