At Salina Family Chiropractic, we understand the challenges that come with ear infections in infants and children. Ear infections can cause discomfort and pain due to fluid buildup behind the eardrum. This buildup can lead to increased pressure and irritation, making your little one fussy and uncomfortable.
Our specialized pediatric chiropractic services are designed to support your child’s health and wellness. By gently adjusting and ensuring proper alignment, chiropractic care can help restore the natural drainage of the Eustachian tubes. This reduces the pressure, eases the pain, and can even help prevent future ear infections.
Why wait? If your child is struggling with ear infections, consider pediatric chiropractic care as a safe and effective treatment option. Let us help your child find relief and wellness.

Understanding the difference between “good carbs” and “bad carbs” is essential for proper nutrition, which nourishes rather than just feeds the body. Good carbs in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes provide sustained energy and essential nutrients. They are usually high in fiber, which aids digestion and regulates blood sugar levels. On the other hand, bad carbs typically include refined sugars and grains, like those found in sweets, white bread, and other processed foods. These can lead to quick blood sugar and energy spikes, followed by crashes.
Proper nutrition is crucial for daily functioning and the body’s ability to heal and thrive. A diet rich in good carbs can help maintain optimal health, support recovery, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases. Partnering Nutrition and Chiropractic Care creates a powerhouse for health and well-being.

Don’t leave your spinal discs parched! Neglecting proper hydration could lead to a stern reminder from your back. Throughout the day, your spinal discs naturally lose water and require rehydration. Insufficient water intake causes the discs’ inner core to shrink, compromising its shock-absorbing ability. This shift forces the outer shell to take on more load, resulting in imbalance. Such an imbalance can exacerbate back pain and lead to further wear and tear on your spine. Over time, this might cause swelling, pain, and even serious conditions like bulging or herniated discs.
Adequate hydration replenishes the discs, maintaining their functionality and reducing the risk of back pain. The amount of water you need varies based on factors like health, body weight, activity level, and climate. A good rule of thumb is to drink at least one 8 oz cup of water for every 20 lbs of body weight daily, adjusting higher for those more active or living in warmer climates. Aim for about one glass of water each hour during waking hours, and increase your intake during physical activity. Remember, beverages like soda, coffee, and tea may lead to dehydration due to their caffeine content and artificial sweeteners.
Consistency in hydration is key to spinal health. Integrating chiropractic care can also play a pivotal role in maintaining spinal health and overall well-being. A skilled chiropractor can help address any imbalances before they become severe, offering tailored advice and treatments that enhance your body’s natural healing capabilities and support your spinal structure. Regular chiropractic check-ups ensure your spine is aligned and functioning optimally, preventing the development of complications and improving your quality of life. Listen to your body, hydrate adequately, and consider regular chiropractic evaluations—your back will thank you!
