Chiropractic & Colic

Apart from being stressful, colic can be a cost to our society in terms of healthcare resources. The good news is there are some things that you can do to soothe your baby.

Colic, characterized by excessive crying in an otherwise healthy baby, can be incredibly challenging for parents and babies alike. While the exact cause of colic remains unclear, research suggests that it may be related to digestive discomfort, nervous system irritation, or both.

The birth process, even when uncomplicated, can place stress on a baby's delicate spine and nervous system. These stresses may contribute to digestive discomfort and irritability in some infants. Gentle chiropractic adjustments, specifically tailored for babies, aim to reduce any nerve interference that might be contributing to colic symptoms.

This video explores how gentle chiropractic care may help soothe colicky babies by addressing potential spinal misalignments and optimizing nervous system function. It also discusses research on chiropractic care for colic and what parents can expect during a pediatric chiropractic visit. While not a guaranteed solution for every baby, many parents have found chiropractic care to be a helpful component in managing colic symptoms.
