Colic and Chiropractic



Your tummy hurts. You have a terrible headache. You cant sleep and youre cranky. One more thing: you cant ask for help because youre only two weeks old! So you cry. And cry. And cry.

Infant with colic.

Lacking the ability to speak, newborns cry, indicating that something isnt right.

And your parents feel helpless.


Infantile colic was first thought to be merely indigestion. The most widely accepted definition of colic today is unexplainable and uncontrollable crying in babies from 0 to 3 months old, more than 3 hours a day, more than 3 days a week for 3 weeks or more, usually in the afternoon and evening hours.

Birth Trauma?

If a baby is inconsolable, its hard to know if its a digestive disturbance. Consider another explanation. Upon examination, chiropractors often find spinal distortions in the babys upper cervical spine. These babies are probably suffering from a raging headache and neck pain. This is especially common if there was a difficult birth.
