Can Chiropractic Help Colic?

The doctors at Walton Clinic of Chiropractic often get asked "can Chiropractic help my baby with colic?"  We almost always get that look that jokingly says "well, while I'm here, I'll ask."  Then, comes the look of astonishment when we reply with "yes!"

The next question that usually comes is "how does that work?"  In a nutshell, it comes down to how that child's nervous system is functioning.  You see, the nervous system is the 'master controller' of the body.  It controls how our muscles and joints move, but on a deeper level, the nervous system controls ALL cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems...which includes digestion, cardiovascular, reproductive and immune systems, etc.

Research by several Medical Doctors have repeatedly shown that when a baby is born (doesn't matter whether natural or assisted) there is at LEAST 60lbs. of force that is applied to that baby's head and neck.  Now, imagine if someone came along and picked up your baby by it's head...and then add a 50lb. weight on top of that.  What kind of stress would that do?  The research goes on to show that between 80%-90% of newborns have sustained trauma to the neck during the birth process...often going 'undetected'....but showing in symptoms in the form of COLIC.  Colic is your baby's nervous system under stress and under constant 'protection mode.'
