A Baby's Ear Infections, A Safety Pin and Chiropractic Care

We hear it all the time, "Isn't chiropractic just for car accidents and back pain?"
Don't worry, until my infant son began having horrible recurring ear infections, I used to think the same thing too.
This safety pin represents WHY you or someone you know might need Chiropractic care!

In the world of chiropractic care, you'll hear a funny word: "subluxated".
Here's where the safety pin comes in- imagine the top of the safety pin is your brain, and the rest of the safety pin is your body. For normal and healthy human function, the body and brain MUST be able to send messages back and forth. This is the function of your entire central nervous system. Your nervous system is housed WITHIN your spine. If a vertebrae in your spine is out of alignment, you are considered "subluxated" and the vital messages for where healing is needed are NOT going to your brain.
This was the case when our son was a baby, although we didn't know it. Ear infections were just a "normal thing", is what we were told. But this "normal thing" kept occurring, and reoccurring, over and over- one round of antibiotics after another. If this were "normal", why wasn't the "normal" remedy helping him get better?
Here's where we found chiropractic care. Our first thoughts were the same. "Chiropractic care for a baby with ear infections?? What??" Sounded bizarre, but we were desperate.
We took him in for an adjustment and we walked out with a different kid.

The relief our baby experienced was immediate, and we almost couldn't believe what had happened. Our irritable, constantly crying baby was settled, peaceful and content. Naps, bedtime and feedings were no longer huge ordeals. After a few more adjustments- he never had an ear infection again.
Ever.
And we were sold.
It was simple.
It was easy.
and it WORKED. It felt like it was too good to be true, but here we are, 9 years later and chiropractic hasn't let us down. I believed so much in what I learned and found so much value in this type of health model that I became a chiropractor myself, and my children, myself and my wife are all regularly adjusted to this day.
I want to bring this simple message to the world:
When the brain and body can communicate, uninterrupted- the result is health.
True health.
Natural health.
Disease and malfunctions within the body are the body's way of sounding the alarm- let's get adjusted!
Chiropractic isn't just for car accidents or back pain. Chiropractic is for health.
And I believe health should be available for everyone.
Here at Quantum Chiropractic, we offer care for the whole family and are accepting new patients. Newborns, Babies, Kids, Pregnant Mothers, Teens, Adults- if you are ready to take your health journey back into your own hands, there's a place for you here.
