Natural Relief for Kids’ Ear Infections in Nampa
One of our greatest passions at True North Chiropractic and Wellness is setting children up for a lifetime of health—and that starts with supporting their body’s natural ability to function and heal. A common concern we see in our youngest patients is chronic ear infections. While antibiotics can offer temporary relief, they often don’t address the root cause. That’s where chiropractic care can help.
Why Are Ear Infections So Common in Kids?
Children’s Eustachian tubes—the small drainage passages that connect the middle ear to the back of the throat—are shorter and more horizontal than in adults. This makes them more likely to trap fluid, which creates an ideal environment for bacteria to grow. The result? Inflammation, pain, and recurring infections.
What many parents don’t realize is that spinal misalignments, especially in the upper neck, can also play a role. Whether caused by birth, a fall, or simply active play, these misalignments can affect nerve communication and interfere with the proper drainage of the ear.
How Chiropractic Can Help
Dr. Zach Reidinger, a Nampa pediatric chiropractor and father of four, uses the Gonstead System to identify and gently correct spinal misalignments that may be contributing to chronic ear issues. These low-force, precise adjustments are designed to restore normal nerve flow and improve drainage, without the use of drugs or invasive procedures.
What to Expect During Your Child’s Visit
From newborns to teens, every child receives personalized care tailored to their age and comfort level. Dr. Zach makes visits fun and engaging, using kid-friendly tools (such as stuffed animals for demonstrations) and making adjustments that are so gentle, most babies sleep right through them.
