What is Colic?

Colic is a condition affecting many infants, characterized by long bouts of inconsolable crying, often occurring in the late afternoon or evening. While its exact cause is unknown, colic is frequently linked to factors like digestive discomfort, gas, or an immature and overstimulated nervous system.

For colicky babies, the nervous system plays a critical role. An overwhelmed or imbalanced nervous system may amplify discomfort, making it harder for your baby to settle. At Solstice Chiropractic, we address these underlying factors, offering natural, non-invasive solutions to support your baby’s comfort.

How Chiropractic Care Eases Colic Symptoms

Our approach focuses on restoring balance within your baby’s nervous system. Gentle adjustments help reduce stress on the nervous system, promoting better communication between the brain and body. This can enhance digestion, relieve tension, and create a sense of calm for your baby.

Key Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Colic:

• Nervous System Regulation: Gentle chiropractic adjustments reduce nervous system overstimulation, helping your baby find relief from discomfort and irritability.

• Improved Digestive Function: A calm nervous system supports better digestion, easing gas, bloating, and other digestive challenges linked to colic.

• Calmer, Happier Baby: By addressing the root causes of discomfort, chiropractic care helps soothe irritability and promotes relaxation.

• Natural, Non-Invasive Relief: Chiropractic care provides a safe, drug-free alternative for managing colic, ideal for even the youngest members.

• Support for Holistic Development: Early care supports overall wellness, creating a foundation for healthy growth and development.

Signs of Colic That Chiropractic Care May Address:

• Excessive Crying: Long periods of inconsolable crying, particularly in the evenings.

• Digestive Distress: Symptoms like gassiness, bloating, or visible discomfort after feeding.

• Restlessness and Fussiness: Persistent irritability that’s challenging to soothe.

• Disrupted Sleep: Frequent waking or difficulty settling due to discomfort.

• Feeding Struggles: Signs of discomfort during or after feeding, often contributing to colic.
