Colic Relief in Colorado Springs
The constant crying of a colicky baby can be emotionally draining for parents and unsettling for the whole family. Freedom Chiropractic in Colorado Springs provides gentle chiropractic care designed to ease the underlying causes of your baby’s discomfort, helping everyone in the household rest a little easier.
Looking Beyond the Labels
Colic is often described as unexplained crying with no identifiable reason. While many parents are told their baby will eventually “grow out of it,” we see persistent crying as a signal that something deeper may be occurring. Rather than waiting it out or masking symptoms, our team looks for contributing factors within the baby’s nervous system and body function.
What’s Behind These Colic Symptoms?
Our office uses INSiGHT™ scanning technology, which is gentle and safe for infants from the very first day of life. This tool helps us detect interference in the nervous system that may be driving discomfort. In many cases, we find upper cervical misalignments linked to C-section or assisted deliveries, low vagal nerve tone that impacts digestion, or tension in the thoracolumbar region affecting the gut and adrenal glands. By identifying where the imbalances lie, we can create a care plan that is precise and meaningful.
Gentle Chiropractic Care for Babies
Parents are often reassured when they see how light pediatric chiropractic care truly is. Adjustments use no more pressure than you’d apply to check if a tomato is ripe. Each visit is tailored to your baby’s needs, with an emphasis on restoring balance to the nervous system. This approach may include:
- Gentle adjustments to improve spinal alignment
- Techniques that reduce tension and enhance comfort
- Guidance on soothing positions and home routines
- Consideration of feeding patterns and potential sensitivities
Real Results for Families
One family brought in their newborn, delivered by C-section, who was struggling with colic, reflux, and torticollis. Bedtime was especially difficult, leaving the parents exhausted. Through gentle adjustments correcting a C2 misalignment often associated with surgical birth, the baby’s condition began to shift within weeks. Colic episodes lessened, reflux eased, bowel movements became regular, and, most importantly, the baby started sleeping through the night.
