Chiropractic Care for Colic

colic remediesYour baby may have Colic if she is experiencing uncontrollable crying for more than 3 hours a day, more than 3 days a week for 3 weeks or longer with no apparent explanation.  A ‘colicky’ baby can be extremely challenging, frustrating, and exhausting for new parents.

There are several possible reasons for a colicky baby:

  • Trouble with the digestive system, due to intolerance to milk protein, or muscle spasms
  • A sensitivity to light and noise
  • Reflux due to stomach acid
  • Gas
  • Hormones
  • Birth trauma, specifically a spinal distortion in the baby’s upper cervical spine
  • An under-developed nervous system, especially in premature babies

When a colicky baby is found to have no medical reason for the symptoms, many parents are turning to their chiropractors for relief. Several studies have shown positive results with gentle spinal manipulation to restore or correct the nervous system on colicky babies. One study in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiologic Therapeutics notes a 67% reduction in crying. [1]

Though chiropractic care for colic is not a cure, safe and gentle manipulation can ease the symptoms of colic and present a path to wellness for parents and their babies.

Call Levitz Family Chiropractic today at 805-646-0105 to schedule an appointment for a complete chiropractic assessment to get your baby on her way to wellness.

What our clients say about us

My son Adan has been treated here at Wellness at Play.  Before he came to Dr. Joel, he would wake up at 2 or 3 in the morning and stay up for a couple of hours, and he would be kind of fussy.  He kind of hunched a bit, and walked a little funny. Now, he sleeps really well through the night – he doesn’t wake up at all.  His hunch is going away, and he’s starting to walk a lot better for a toddler.

I felt tremendous improvement in both my mental and physical health… I am also more aware of my body, and what foods, exercise or even movements it needs.

I have Lyme Disease, and I have tried numerous new age modalities, since there is nothing available in modern Western modalities to actually treat this condition.  And I have found that Network Chiropractic is very profound in healing my Nervous System, which is what Lyme Disease attacks.  It helps me sleep and be more calm and therefore more happy, and more enjoyable for others to be around.  I’ve seen it transform entire families that were all in care.  They talk about how well they get …
