Colic Relief in Blue Bell and Norristown
Colic is a constant, unrelenting crying. It can begin at birth but typically peaks between 3 and 6 weeks of age. It can be distressing for both infants and parents, causing prolonged periods of crying and discomfort along with sleepless nights, frustration, and a feeling of helplessness in parents.
Seeing your child in constant discomfort is hard for any parent to deal with. At Community Chiropractic Center, we offer gentle chiropractic care to help relieve children suffering from colic. Our compassionate team—Dr. Mark and Dr. Mike at our Blue Bell location, and Dr. Kristin at our Norristown office—specializes in pediatric care to bring comfort to your little one.
Commonly Seen Symptoms of Colic
If the child displays any of the following, it could be time to visit us:
- Excessive crying that may begin at the same time of day each day
- Tensed abs and legs (from excessive crying)
- Usually begins when the baby is several weeks old and generally lasts several months
- The infant is usually healthy otherwise
- The baby may pull its legs up to its chest, tighten its abdominal muscles, or clench its fists; the infant’s face may be contorted or red
Infant Colic Success Story
Our baby suffered from colic and cried for hours every day. Gentle pediatric chiropractic care helped improve his digestion and comfort. Within days, we saw better sleep, less crying, and a much happier baby. Chiropractic care made a huge difference for our family.Baby Noah
Our Natural Approach to Relief
There’s no known definitive cause for colic, but many medical professionals believe there is a connection to a digestive issue.
Our approach doesn’t treat colic directly, but our process helps the body function better by focusing on removing tension from the nervous system through gentle, low-force chiropractic techniques specifically designed for infants and children. By evaluating and restoring proper alignment and mobility, we help alleviate stress on the nervous system, allowing it to function optimally.
Some reasons why chiropractic gets good results include:
- Our doctors are trained to identify and remove a child’s spinal subluxations, a safe, gentle, and effective strategy to reduce symptoms of colic.
- Correcting spinal dysfunction reduces irritation to the child’s nervous system to resolve colic symptoms in an otherwise healthy infant.
- Our chiropractors provide parents with advice on nutrition, supplementation, and infant ergonomics to support the child’s growing body.
- Chiropractors address the underlying cause of your baby’s colic; they don’t just treat symptoms.
- Our chiropractic adjustments are safe and natural, even for infants! Our focus is on drug-free solutions to support the body’s innate ability to heal and function properly.
