Colic is often a mystery for many parents, but it’s generally defined as excessive, frequent crying in an otherwise healthy baby. While the exact cause isn’t always clear, colic is often linked to:

✅ Digestive Discomfort – Babies have immature digestive systems, which can lead to gas, reflux, or difficulty processing milk (whether breastmilk or formula).

✅ Nervous System Imbalance – Birth can be stressful on a baby’s nervous system, sometimes leading to tension or misalignments in the spine that affect digestion, sleep, and overall comfort.

✅ Feeding Challenges – Difficulty with latching, tongue ties, or swallowing air during feedings can contribute to tummy troubles and increased crying.

✅ Overstimulation or Sensory Sensitivity – Some babies struggle with processing new sights, sounds, and sensations, leading to fussiness and difficulty calming down.

✅ Tension from Birth – A long or difficult labor, C-section delivery, or interventions like forceps or vacuum extraction can create strain on a baby’s body, making it harder for them to relax and settle.At our office, we take a gentle, holistic approach to colic by assessing nervous system function, spinal alignment, and overall comfort to help your baby find relief naturally.

Chiropractic care provides a gentle, natural approach to helping babies with colic by addressing underlying tension and nervous system imbalances that may contribute to discomfort. Here’s how it works:

✅ Supports Nervous System Function – Birth can be physically stressful for babies, sometimes leading to misalignments in the spine that affect the nervous system and digestion. Gentle chiropractic adjustments help restore balance, allowing the body to function more smoothly.

✅ Eases Digestive Discomfort – Colic is often linked to gas, reflux, or difficulty passing bowel movements. Chiropractic care can help improve nerve communication between the brain and digestive system, reducing tension that may contribute to tummy troubles.

✅ Relieves Tension from Birth Trauma – A long or difficult labor, C-section delivery, or interventions like forceps or vacuum extraction can create tightness in a baby’s neck, back, or jaw, making it harder for them to relax and settle. Gentle adjustments help relieve this tension, promoting comfort and better sleep.

✅ Encourages Better Sleep & Calmness – Many parents notice that after adjustments, their baby is more relaxed, cries less, and sleeps better, as their body is better able to regulate discomfort and stress.

Chiropractic care is gentle, safe, and non-invasive, using light fingertip pressure to support your baby’s well-being. While every baby is different, many parents see improvements in digestion, fussiness, sleep, and overall comfort after starting care.

Yes! Chiropractic adjustments for babies are extremely safe, gentle, and specifically designed for their delicate bodies. Unlike adjustments for adults, care for infants involves light, fingertip pressure—about the same amount of pressure you’d use to check the ripeness of a tomato.

There are no forceful movements, twisting, or "cracking" sounds—just gentle, precise techniques to help relieve tension and restore balance to your baby’s nervous system.

Many parents are surprised at how relaxed and comfortable their baby is during an adjustment, with some even falling asleep!
