If your baby has colic, you know how helpless it can feel each time your baby suffers from an episode. You’ve tried all the suggestions: rocking, feeding less, feeding more, going for a car ride, white noise, etc. but still the crying persists.
Your baby’s pediatrician may have written a prescription or suggested over the counter medications, but the natural approach of chiropractic care may be able to help.
Chiropractic adjustments are gentle, safe, and effective for patients of all ages, including newborns and infants. Those who are new to chiropractic care may be under the impression that chiropractors only help with back and neck pain but that simply isn’t true. At Wills Chiropractic, we help many patients from infants to adults to discover the healing abilities of their own bodies when subluxations that prohibit natural healing are located and removed.
COLIC CAUSES
Many infants that suffer from colic have nerve interference caused from the birthing process. Delivery isn’t an easy process for mom or baby, and a great amount of pressure may be exerted on your infant’s fragile spine and neck. Even more, when a natural delivery isn’t possible, the pressure can be so great that it leads to misalignments in the spine which can affect your baby’s ability to develop as expected.
Your baby can’t tell you that a misaligned joint or a headache is what’s causing their discomfort, but they can cry. There has been plenty of debate regarding what causes colic and many colicky babies have found relief from symptoms with the help of chiropractic care.
Chiropractic focuses on identifying the cause of your child’s issue, as opposed to just treating the symptoms. That means misalignments and/or subluxations are located and corrected by applying gentle pressure. The amount of pressure is so little that it is often compared to the amount of force used to check the ripeness of a tomato. In fact, most babies don’t even know they’re being adjusted, and many find it to be relaxing and fall asleep.

What Our Patients Say
What to Expect
Relief Chiropractic Care
When patients come to us in pain, our top priority is to help relieve that pain so they can find comfort and feel better. While some patients feel relief in as little as one visit, it can take 2-3 visits per week for 4-12 weeks to achieve lasting real pain relief.
Corrective/Restorative Chiropractic Care
Muscles and tissues heal more completely during the corrective care phase, which prevents and reduces the risk of further injury. This phase typically requires 4-8 visits per month for 6-24 months depending on the severity of the issue.
Wellness Chiropractic Care
Once your body has completely healed, periodic adjustments become an important part of your healthcare regimen to avoid problems in the future. Based on your lifestyle and goals, we hope to see you 1-4 times per month.
