Ear infections are one of the most common reasons parents bring their children to the doctor. But when antibiotics only seem to help for a short time, families begin asking a deeper question—why does this keep happening?
Why Ear Infections Often Recur
The upper neck houses nerves that control the muscles around the Eustachian tubes, the passageways that help fluid drain from the middle ear. When these nerves are under tension from birth trauma, posture issues, or everyday stress, they can affect how fluid moves. The result? Persistent congestion and repeated infections that return no matter how many rounds of medication are prescribed.
Parents often notice other clues too: disrupted sleep, speech delays, or irritability that flares alongside each infection. These patterns suggest the nervous system may be stuck in overdrive.
Seeing What’s Beneath the Surface
To get to the root cause, Lighthouse Family Chiropractic uses CLA INSiGHT™ scans to measure how a child’s nervous system is functioning. These gentle, non-invasive scans reveal where stress is stored, how well the body is adapting, and whether the system is locked in “fight or flight.” Once these patterns are understood, care can focus on restoring clear communication between the brain and the body.
When Kids Thrive Naturally
When the nervous system works the way it’s meant to, the body can better drain, regulate, and recover. Parents often share that their children not only experience fewer ear infections but also sleep more soundly, concentrate better, and show greater overall ease.
If your child is caught in a cycle of recurring ear infections, there’s a better way to uncover what’s happening inside. Schedule an INSiGHT scan today to start finding real answers.
