Crying fits that result from this issue can persist for hours and even days with no apparent way to stop them. Thankfully, our team at BETTER LIFE Family Chiropractic & Wellness has your solution. We can provide chiropractic care to ease your infant’s crying fits.

Baby with colic

What Causes Colic?

Colic affects babies that are 2-6 weeks old. Doctors and researchers aren’t sure of the cause of this issue. However, some findings suggest that this crying could be linked to digestion problems, sensitivity to something in the baby’s formula, or sensitivity to what the nursing mom is eating. It’s also possible that colic may simply be your baby trying to get used to the sights and sounds of being out in the world.

What Can Colic Be a Sign Of?

Colic in and of itself is benign and doesn’t pose health risks. However, at first glance, it’s impossible to tell whether incessant crying is simply colic or a sign of an underlying issue. Therefore, it’s important to consult with a doctor and have them conduct a thorough medical exam. If the crying is indeed attributed to colic, then there is nothing to worry about. This condition doesn’t pose a danger to your baby.

How Can Chiropractic Treatment Help?

A study conducted in 2012 has shown that colicky babies can benefit from chiropractic treatment. Here at BETTER LIFE Family Chiropractic & Wellness, Dr. Chad can perform gentle chiropractic adjustments to stop your baby from crying. The results of this treatment can take several sessions but will help calm your baby down. Further research has found that continuing chiropractic care as your baby grows can improve behavior problems and lead to improved sleep.
