Recurrent Ear Infections

«Chiropractic adjustments eliminate mechanical subluxations, facilitating the middle ear's natural regulation, reducing cortisol levels, and boosting the immune system.»

If you live in Mataró or the Maresme region and your child suffers from recurrent ear infections, you may be looking for an alternative that goes beyond conventional antibiotics. You are not alone: otitis is one of the most frequent pediatric consultations in our center.

In the Dr. Marc Bony Chiropractic Center, we understand that seeing your child suffer from an earache is distressing. We offer a mechanical, safe, and non-invasive approach to address the root cause of the problem, allowing the child’s body to heal naturally.

Regular follow-up care by your primary care physician or specialist is essential 

Understanding the problem

What is Otitis Media and why does it affect children so much?

Otitis media is the most common disease in infants, affecting the 70% of the child population. It occurs when there is an inflammation or accumulation of fluid in the middle ear. Unlike adults, children have the same symptoms as adults. Eustachian tubes shorter, narrower, and horizontal, which makes gravity drainage difficult.

This anatomy facilitates the rapid onset of symptoms:

  • Severe ear pain (otalgia) and extreme irritability.
  • Fever and episodes of tinnitus (tinnitus ringing).
  • Temporary hearing loss or developmental delays if the problem becomes chronic.

Our approach

Dr. Marc Bony's Approach: Your Chiropractor in Mataró

In our office in Mataró, we do not limit ourselves to fight the infection with drugs; we understand that otitis usually has a mechanical origin. Dr. Marc Bony performs a thorough examination of the child's cervical spine to determine the best course of treatment.

Our Follow-up Protocol includes:

Soft Cervical Adjustments

Dr. Bony performs specific adjustments on the upper vertebrae (especially the atlas). This relieves pressure on the nerves that control the muscles of the ear and reduces muscle tension.

Restoration of Lymphatic Drainage

By correcting the misalignments, we allow the Eustachian tube to be slightly more inclined, which helps prevent fluid from accumulating.

Immune Strengthening

Keeping the spine free of interference allows the child's defensive system to function at 100%, drastically reducing the need for medication.
