Otitis media, aka ear infections, are one of the most common ailments among babies and young children. Around 35% of all pediatric visits have to do with this painful and uncomfortable illness, which could be accompanied by fever lead result to other infections (e.g. colds, cough, and sore throat). Chronic ear infections will require treatments year after year and may endanger a child’s hearing capabilities.
Ear infections that are bacterial in nature are treated with antibiotics, but some research shows that these drugs won’t be more effective than the child’s immunity. When otitis media is caused by viruses, on the other hand, no medication can get rid of the infection. Surgery is an option when the problem is severe or frequently recurring, but not all parents want their little ones to undergo a risky procedure at such a young age. Continue Reading

After experiencing horrible back pains, many people find it hard to get back into an exercise regimen, with some even completely loathing the idea. However, many professionals advise that slowly wading back into a good exercise regimen is the best way to recover, especially after you’ve gone through efficient treatments like chiropractic care.
Bed Rest
Of course, immediately after your injury and at some point in your treatment, you will need to stay in bed, but you should only keep at this for a couple of days. Muscle spasms are your enemy in this case, as they can cause increased pain when you move. After they die down, however, you should get back on the treadmill to keep your body (especially your muscles) from wear.
Stretching and Aerobics
Begin with simple stretching exercises to get your joints used to motion and stress again, and to relieve muscles that have tightened. Then you can begin with moderate and low-impact aerobic exercises like swimming and brisk walking. This will help restore or improve blood circulation within your spine.
Core Strengthening
Visit your chiropractor regularly to find out when you will have recovered enough to get back to core strengthening exercises. These are the workouts that improve your posture and improve stability. You should avoid these while you’re still recovering because they tend to put pressure on your back.
