You expect some fatigue and fussiness when you live with a baby
but nobody plans on colic
 Colic is…
When an otherwise healthy baby cries more than three hours a day
for more than three days a week.
About 20% of Babies Have Colic
It usually lasts about 3 months!
Research shows that Chiropractic helps colic.
A Danish Study showed that babies treated with Chiropractic
showed twice the reduction in crying compared to the group treated
with medication. (JMPT, Oct, 1999)
Another study showed that 94% of parents saw an improvement
A little over half had already been unsuccessfully treated
(Klurgart et al, 1989)
A third study showed that 91% of babies experienced a reduction
in colic after as little as two chiropractic adjustments (Nilsson,
1985)
What do Chiropractors do?
Chiropractors treat subluxations – areas of decreased
mobility,muscle spasm, and nflammation in the spine.
Subluxations can irritate nerves, affecting the organs at the end
of those nerves.
Parents often wonder how a baby might have gotten a subluxation.
The First Subluxation
Remember all that downward pressure as the baby twists through
the birth canal?
Remember that pressure against your sacrum and pelvis?
Is it any wonder that many are born with a sprained back?
How do I know if my baby has a Subluxation?
Your chiropractor can tell you by feeling the baby’s spine.
Treating a Colicky Baby
There may not be much change after the first treatment
Most babies go to sleep after their treatment.
Relief usually lasts several days, then seems to end suddenly.
As their spines mature, they gradually grow out of it.
