Ear infections tend to spike this time of year: cooler weather, more indoor time, more sugar, less drainage, more congestion… and suddenly your little one is tugging at their ear again. 😣
But here’s what most parents aren’t told:
👉 The ears don’t usually get “infected” out of nowhere.
👉 They often get clogged, and the fluid can’t drain properly because the upper neck isn’t moving the way it should.
The upper cervical spine (especially C1/C2) sits right next to the nerves that control the muscles around the Eustachian tube.
When those tiny bones shift or tighten (birth, falls, tumbles, sports, even posture), drainage becomes harder... and trapped fluid becomes the perfect environment for recurring infections.
Chiropractic doesn’t treat ear infections.
But by improving alignment, relieving tension, and supporting proper drainage…
kids often experience:
✨ fewer ear infections
✨ less fluid buildup
✨ better sleep
✨ calmer nervous systems
✨ stronger immune responses
Parents are always shocked at how gentle pediatric adjustments are. Soft pressure, no twisting, and always meeting your child exactly where they’re at (wiggles included).
If your little one is on their second or third round of antibiotics already this season… you don’t have to keep repeating the cycle. There are natural, supportive options that work with their body, not against it.
