Ear Infections

 

Ear infections or inner ear infections are caused from a blockage of the Eustachian tubes.  The Eustachian Tube allows equalized pressure on the eardrum and allows fluid to drain away from the inner ear.  When the Eustachian tube is blocked, fluid builds up and causes an infection.  The transverse process, bones sticking out from the sides of a vertebrae, run next to the Eustachian tubes at C1, the first Cervical vertebrae.  When a vertebra is misaligned or subluxated, swollen tissue will result causing the Eustachian tubes to block.  By removing the subluxation at C1 and C2 you can reduce the tissue swelling around the Eustachian tubes and allow the inner ear to drain, clearing the infection within a couple of days in many cases


Chiropractic care can benefit all ages, and is a good way to start on the right path to a healthy life.


Torticollis

Torticollis is a form of dystonia (prolonged muscle contractions) in which the neck muscles contract involuntarily causing the head to turn.  This may occur without known cause (idiopathic), be genetic (inherited), or be acquired secondary to damage to the nervous system or muscles. It may develop in childhood or adulthood.  Congenital torticollis (present at birth) may be caused by malpositionoing of the head in the uterus, or be prenatal injury of the muscles or blood supply in the neck.

Symptoms:

  • Enlargement of neck muscles
  • Asymmetry of an infant's head from sleeping on the affected side
  • Elevation of the shoulder on the affected side
  • Stiffness of neck muscles
  • Limited range of motion
  • Headache
  • Neck Pain
  • Head Tremor
