In the United States, five out of six children experience an ear infection by three years old. Children are more prone to ear infections due to their immature Eustachian tube (part of the middle ear), which in infancy and early childhood is shorter and horizontal. This allows bacteria to more easily access the middle ear. While ear infections are most common in children, adults can experience them as well. Luckily, we have non-drug treatments available at Schneider Clinic!
While other medical treatments can sometimes provide relief of the symptoms, they never truly address the cause of them, leading to a childhood prescription of unnecessary drugs and surgeries.
How Our Approach is Different
Our multi-tiered solution to ear infections targets the root cause using gentle non-drug treatments to not only treat acute and chronic infections, but also to keep the body in a state of homeostasis and prevent ear infections from occurring.

The recommended supplements will assist in killing any bacteria or viruses causing infection, replenish the good bacteria in the body, and strengthen the immune system.

"My oldest son had terrible ear infections as a child. We went through what felt like a hundred rounds of antibiotics that always left him feeling sick and never really took care of the problem. He eventually ended up getting tubes in his ears that fell out almost immediately. When my youngest daughter came down with her first ear infection at 6 months, I knew I needed to look at a better alternative.
Ear insufflation with ozone has been the most amazing treatment. After just 4 insufflation treatments, her ears were completely clear. I am amazed and would recommend this to any parent with a child in need."
