Colic and Chiropractic
Does chiropractic help with Colic? See what the Surgeon General's Report on Physical Activity and Health had to say.
A review of six randomized trials involving 325 infants suggests infants who received gentle, low-velocity manipulation treatments had a reduction in crying an average of one hour and twelve minutes a day, and had no adverse effects.

If you have a colicky child and you haven't found a solution elsewhere, perhaps it is time you had your child checked by a chiropractor. The birthing process can put undue stress on a baby's spine and nervous system. Gentle adjustments can realign the spine and relieve neuromuscular tension that could be the cause of the baby's discomfort.
