Raena Morgan: Hello, I'm visiting with Dr. JaDean Anderson. Dr. Anderson, say you have a child with an ear infection, typically the doctor will prescribe antibiotics. Would a chiropractic adjustment help?
Dr. JaDean Anderson: In lots of cases, a chiropractic adjustment helps minimize the side effects of an ear infection, the pain and the decreased sleep due to the pain that the child experiences. It's usually an upper neck adjustment that helps children cope with ear infections. It's restoring proper nerve flow to the inner ear, allowing the body to deal with the infection. And, in some cases, we also have eardrops that we recommend the patients to use in their child's ear as well which just helps to reduce the pain and kind of soothes the ear while we're giving chiropractic adjustments as well.
Raena Morgan: I would not have thought that. They could possible avoid antibiotics in that case.
Dr. JaDean Anderson: Yes. We see a high success rate in taking care of children with ear infections, along with using the eardrops to help make them feel more comfortable while when they're not in the office as well.
Raena Morgan: That's very interesting. Thank you.
