It’s that time of year where we start seeing ear infections in our children. Usually the first reaction parents have is to treat with antibiotics. Chiropractic care can also help prevent and treat the common ear infection.
Ear Infections or Otitis media is an inner ear infection generally caused from a blockage of the Eustachian tubes. The Eustachian Tube allows equalized pressure on the eardrum and allows fluid to drain away from the inner ear. When the Eustachian tube is blocked, fluid builds up and causes an infection. The transverse process, bones sticking out from the sides of a vertebrae, run next to the Eustachian tubes at C1, the first Cervical vertebrae. When a vertebra is misaligned or subluxated, swollen tissue will result causing the Eustachian tubes to block. By removing the subluxations at C1 and C2 you can reduce the tissue swelling around the Eustachian Tubes and allow the inner ear to drain, clearing the infection within a couple days in many cases.
SYMPTOMS
Our contest is in full swing. But it’s not too late to enter. For every person you refer to our clinic, we’ll drop your name in the hat for our iPad drawing.
Wouldn’t a new iPad be the perfect Christmas present for you or your family?

Save the Date
PHC’s Annual Toy Drive with Santa Claus is set for Saturday December 4th
Stay tuned for further details
Difficulty: Easy to Moderate(Consult your chiropractor before
engaging in this or any other exercise.)
Start: Lie on back over exercise ball so lower portion of ribcage is
positioned over center of ball. Let head rest on ball, and relax hips. Keep knees wide apart, and position arms stretched out
overhead.
Exercise: Engage inner abdominals first by bringing belly button
inwards. Then, curl body forward on ball. As you curl forward, reach hands for ceiling. Return to starting position. Repeat 5-15 times.
Here at PHC, we make it easy for you to get the nutrients you need. We carry a brand that we trust to give us the best quality Omega-3’s needed for optimal health. If you don’t like the gel capsules, we carry the oil. Dr. Min and Dr. Lori drizzle this on their salads or sandwiches. Try it!
Having a diet that is toxic with Omega 6 or deficient in Omega 3 EFAs creates a pro-inflammatory state within the body. This is very significant because inflammation is at the root of virtually all of the common chronic illnesses such as cancer, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and depression as well as the autoimmune and atopic diseases such as arthritis, Crohn’s Disease, irritable bowel, psoriasis, eczema, allergies, fibromyalgia, lupus, and multiple sclerosis. Inflammation is also a major factor in dysmenorrhea (menstrual pain and/or cramping), headaches, and back and neck pain.
Who needs to supplement with Omega-3 fish oil?
The answer to this question is easy –
Everybody- Everyday – For Life!
Research is clear that omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFAs) are some of the most crucial essential nutrients ever identified for human and other animal health. Omega-3 EFAs are extremely important in the structure and function of every cell in the body and the function of your cells is what determines your overall health.
Everyone needs to consume EPA and DHA Omega 3 fatty acids in order to be healthy and to prevent illness and the modern Western diet is almost void of these nutrients.
What is even more alarming than the pandemic deficiency in EPA and DHA omega 3 fatty acids is thatvirtually all people living in industrial nations are now toxic with the omega 6 fatty acids and saturated fat that is so common in modern diets. Research indicates that the ratio of omega 6: omega 3 fatty acids in the average modern diet is as high as 20:1. The evidence indicates that the proper healthy ratio is 1:1.
Being toxic with omega 6 fatty acids and deficient in omega 3 fatty acids is a deadly combination that is shown to increase the chances of illness in people of all ages. Illnesses associated with omega 6 fatty acid toxicity and/or omega 3 fatty acid deficiency include ADHD, allergies, eczema, asthma, breast cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, lowered immunity, heart disease, strokes, diabetes, high blood pressure, depression, fibromyalgia, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, arthritis, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer’s, painful menstruation, back pain, neck pain, and headaches. YIKES!
The data from scientific research and clinical trials is indisputably clear. Everyone needs to ensure that they have sufficient amounts of EPA and DHA from fish in their diets. Sadly, eating fish is not a viable option because of the documented dangerous levels of pollutants and toxins. Supplementing with Omega Sufficiency®, the world’s premier purified, toxin and pollutant-free omega 3 EPA/DHA fish oil is not only scientific, it is common sense when it comes to maintaining and/or restoring your health and preventing disease.
This is precisely why we don’t advocate treating symptoms with EPA and DHA but rather focusing on supplying your cells with the sufficient amounts of EPA and DHA that science has shown are required for health and the prevention of illness. Furthermore, and very importantly, the significant determining factor regarding who should supplement with Omega Sufficiency® is not whether or not you are symptomatic but whether or not you are supplying your cells with the sufficient amount of EPA and DHA required for health and illness prevention.
Waiting until you or your family become symptomatic or have a diagnosed illness to supplement with Omega Sufficiency® would be absurd considering the fact that science has shown beyond any reasonable doubt that everyone requires EPA and DHA on a daily basis in order to be healthy and prevent illness.
This is why we stress the importance of supplementation BEFORE illness develops. It is both dangerous and illogical to wait until illness develops to begin to take care of yourself or your children or your pets! How can wePREVENT ILLNESS or PROMOTE HEALTH if we wait until we are already ill before we take action?
PHC carries a great tasting fish oil in liquid or capsule form, Omega Sufficiency by Innate Choice.
