Colic

---

Has your baby throw up regularly after they’ve eaten or been in intense discomfort and pain after eating? If so, it’s possible that they a condition called “colic.” This condition, though not serious, can still be extremely worrisome if you’re a parent. No one wants to see their precious baby in pain or not getting the nutrients they need. Luckily, there’s good news! Keep on reading to find out how chiropractic care can restore your baby’s heath. 

Colic is caused when the 6th thoracic vertebrae in the middle back subluxates, pinching the nerves that connect to the stomach. When the subluxated vertebrae pinches these stomach nerves, it causes the stomach to reflux and throw the food back up. This subluxated vertebrae can be caused at birth as it’s such a major transition for both the baby and the mother or by any normal function of your child such as a fall.  Find out more about children and chiropractic care here.

This condition doesn’t just happen with babies and children either. In adults, the more common term for colic is “acid reflux” where the pinched stomach nerves cause stomach acid to reflux back up into the esophagus and even into the mouth. Either way, colic (acid reflux) is not a condition you or your child have to live with. 

Since colic is, at its origin, a spinal issue, chiropractic care is equipped better than any other care or medication out there. So many of my patients that are parents have seen their child healed of colic over the years. Using a child-safe and gentle chiropractic adjustment between the shoulder blades, I move the spine back into alignment, allowing the stomach nerves to return to sending the proper signal for digestion. Even better, once the spine and the nerves heal, this condition rarely comes back again!
