Treating Tonsillitis
What Every Parent Needs To Know About Tonsillitis From Our Burlington Clinic
Here is some very important information for parents with children suffering from tonsillitis.
Tonsillitis is a condition where the tonsils become inflamed, swollen and sore making swallowing very painful and difficult.
The most popular forms of medical treatment are anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotic therapy or removal of the tonsils by tonsillectomy.
What concerns me however is that most parents do not realize that your tonsils are immuno-competent tissue and are your immune systems first line of defense against germs entering the body through either the nose or mouth.

When the tonsils are removed, so too is the first line of defense which will allow the germs to penetrate deeper into the throat, bronchial tubes and lungs.
This is why it is not uncommon for kids who have no tonsils to experience more bronchial infections and lung infections.
From a chiropractic perspective, if a certain body part is prone to infections, this means the nerve supply is not adequate enough creating fertile ground for germs to flourish.
And this is often the case in kids who have spinal misalignments and pinched nerves in the upper neck region.
This is a common place for misalignments to occur and tonsillitis is a common result.
As a parent you need to know that chiropractic care has helped thousands and thousands of kids recover from to nsillitis by correcting spinal misalignments in the neck.
And, you will also appreciate that chiropractic treatments are all natural and do not involve the use of drugs ,medications or surgery.
