Ear Infections
All 24 bones of the cranium move. This movement is small but very important.
The facial bones must move and the temporal bones around the ears must
move. Also the sacrum (triangular bone the hip bones rest on) and rib
cage must move, in order for the fluids to move out of the Eustachian
tubes and sinus cavities for the prevention of ear infections.
Ear infections can result from fluid buildup in newborn's ears. Cranial sacral osteopathy has huge success with treating restricted motion and fluid buildup in the ears of newborns. In my experience, osteopathy alone is often all that is needed.
Sometimes the immune system has been
compromised with antibiotic use or immunizations which will increase the chance for ear infections. Then homeopathy is
done as well, with good results.
