If you are a parent of a baby suffering from colic, you understand how frustrating and stressful it is and you may feel helpless. Colic has been a source of great frustration for not only babies and their parents, but for doctors as well. Colic is more defined by its symptoms than diagnostic findings. The symptoms are described as uncontrollable, relentless crying for hours at a time. This behavior can often last up to three months before the baby seems to grow out of it. Three months can drive any parent a little crazy! Parents and family members find it difficult to cope and are hopeful for a solution.
Medical doctors have yet to discover the cause or solution to this common problem. There are two common theories for the cause: an immature nervous system or an immature digestive system. The medical solution may seem not promising to parents. Medical recommendations include attempting to sooth the baby and even take a time out for yourself. This is not comforting to hear when a parent just wants their child to feel better.
Although, the solution could be as close as your Wellness Chiropractor. A Wellness Chiropractor focuses on restoring a healthy nervous system. There are numerous case studies that have been published on the benefits of chiropractic care and colic babies, but the most compelling research is a study that included 316 babies with colic. In this study, 73 chiropractors treated 316 babies with moderate to sever colic. An astounding 94% of the babies demonstrated satisfactory results within 14 days of chiropractic care. 25% showed great improvement with just one treatment! In another study of 132 babies suffering from colic, 91% of the parents reported improvement within 1 week of care.
If you or someone you love has an infant suffering from colic, be sure to tell them about Wellness Chiropractic. A Wellness Chiropractor can quickly and safely evaluate a child’s nervous system for hidden disturbances. If your child demonstrates a problem, your Wellness Chiropractor may as well be the solution.
