Let's look at what the current research says about Chiropractic and colic, as the far majority shows that Chiropractic can greatly decrease crying times in babies suffering from colic. There's also a study we will mention that is often misinterpreted and used to say Chiropractic doesn't help colic, when that's not what the study showed at all! A 2011 article in the Journal Explore by Dr. Joel Alcantara reviewed the literature relating to Chiropractic and colic. They reviewed the 26 different pieces of literature that they could find, which included:  3 clinical trials  2 survey studies 6 case reports 2 case series 4 cohort studies 5 commentaries 4 literature reviews                        From these 26 articles they were able to conclude that Chiropractic is both safe and effective for treating infantile colic . They did acknowledge that there were some design flaws in some of the studies, as is ofte...

Anytime a baby is upset, seemingly in pain, and crying inconsolably it will create heartache for the parents. The heartache becomes so much worse when it's happening consistently due to their baby suffering from infantile colic. So what is infantile colic? The medical diagnosis of colic is given when a baby cries inconsolably for more than 3 hours a day; for 3 or more days a week; for at least 3 weeks (The 3/3/3 rule) It affects up to 40% infants worldwide, p eaks at 6 weeks and usually resolves by 3-6 months of age It often causes physical and emotional stress for the parents and can regularly lead to marital or job disruption, and it is even linked to child abuse!

There’s a fear that if you take your baby to a chiropractor they’re going to “crack” your baby's spine. This should NEVER happen. Chiropractors who are trained in pediatric adjusting use extremely gentle “eyeball” pressure that wouldn’t even bruise a tomato because the younger a child is, the more sensitive their Nervous System and the less pressure needed.  In fact most parents are shocked at how little pressure is used, and there certainly should never be any twisting or forces that resemble an adult adjustment until the child is much older! All Chiropractors who are trained to work on infants, like all of our doctors are, will totally modify the way they adjust infants and babies, and we have personally adjusted thousands of babies in our offices and not once have we ever been nervous that we are going to hurt the little one in front of us! There’s actually a mountain of research published showing that chiropractic care for infants and kids is both safe and ...
