What is Infant Colic and Common Signs?
Colic is typically defined as excessive crying in an otherwise healthy baby for more than 3 hours a day, 3+ days a week, for 3+ weeks. Common signs include:
- Intense, inconsolable crying (often starting suddenly and peaking in the late afternoon/evening)
- Tight belly, gas, pulling legs up, or arching back
- Difficulty settling even after feeding, burping, or diaper changes
- Red face, clenched fists, or grimacing during episodes
- Associated issues like reflux, poor sleep, or digestive discomfort
While the exact cause isn’t always clear, many experts link colic to nervous system irritation, birth-related spinal misalignments (subluxations), digestive tension, or vagus nerve function—areas gentle chiropractic care can address.
How Gentle Pediatric Chiropractic Helps Relieve Colic
Our approach uses light, precise techniques—no popping or twisting—tailored specifically for infants.
- Comprehensive Evaluation: We assess your baby’s spine, neck, cranium, and nervous system function, along with feeding, sleep, and digestive patterns.
- Gentle Adjustments: Subtle corrections to the upper cervical spine, sacrum, or cranium help release tension, improve nerve communication to the digestive system, and promote relaxation.
- Holistic Recommendations: Guidance on feeding positions, tummy time, soothing techniques, and when to collaborate with pediatricians or lactation consultants.
- Comfortable Visits: Sessions are short, calming, and often leave babies relaxed or sleeping—parents report quick improvements in crying duration and overall temperament.
Many families notice reduced colic symptoms within the first few visits, with lasting benefits for better rest and happier babies.
