Colic & Chiropractic
It can be extremely distressing for both parents when a baby is not settling and is crying all the time. Symptoms of colic can include, unexplainable and uncontrollable crying in babies from 0-3 months old,
- more than 3 hours a day
- more than 3 days a week
- for 3 weeks or more
Sometimes spinal distortions found on chiropractic examination, can indicate tension on the spinal cord that can cause neck and head pain.
This tension may also cause interference with digestion and other important organ functions.
There are many case studies that show dramatic improvements in colicky babies.
Research
67% Reduction in Crying
The results of a randomized controlled trial published in the October 1999 issue of the Journal of Manipulative and Physiologic Therapeutics tracked a small group of 50 infants. Half received the drug dimethicone and the other spinal manipulation. At the conclusion of the two-week study, the babies being adjusted saw a 67% reduction in crying and the drug therapy group saw a 38% reduction.
